I forgot to go to the grocery store last night after spending the evening with gf's cat, so today's coffee includes the leftover failed "milk cubes" experiment.

My fb is at https://www.facebook.com/vicarz, I take most non-spam friend requests. I'm a little brash on fb, for instance telling people not to post only-picture-memes on occasion, cussing, and as always my dry sardonic expressions.

I saw the doctor yesterday - actually I'm ok, could theoretically lift. I have a couple prescriptions to help me over the hump, and a chest brace (really, between a boxing hand wrap and a girdle) (since I'm fat, this may work out) to help me not hurt when I cough.

I'm in a mild work-panic, though I've met 2/4 deadlines and am now prepared (mostly) for the deposition next week. It's just that following week is allegedly move-in week. Everyone yelled at me to hire movers - I may at least call some today to try and get prices. With all the prior delays I'm scared to make a committment. Sure, columbus day weekend (or day) sounds nifty - but how likely is it really? I could also move in stages - I'm so not-classy I could still move enough to live...in both places I think...via the car. But...what about internet?

I'm overdue on a house post - shit's moving fast, but I am busy now, tired, and I can't find the (sim?)card to my camera which frustrates me greatly.

If you decide to go with movers, I have a really good guy who I used twice. I'm happy to give you his info (he does book up fast, though, so you probably can't use him next week).

BTW, I moved on Weds. So I win :p

(and by win, I mean will be unpacking tons of boxes this weekend)

Damnit you always win!

I'm...torn. I'll take the info and thanks (email is fine or a post works whatever)

I'm seriously thinking of doing it with a uhaul on my own / with friends at least for easy things, then maybe see what's left for the remainder.

Yes, you are hiring movers. Hiring movers is one of those things you do once, you're never going back.

Why do you have to move Columbus day weekend?

Because, as a Hispanic, it is fitting for him to be displaced from his longtime home on Columbus Day.

It was a projected and really convenient date.

Now I'm more worried about appliances.

I seemed to have missed something...why are you hurting when you cough?

[identity profile] vicar.livejournal.com 2015-10-03 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It turns out I pulled a muscle or bruised a rib...seems like I pulled something though I don't recall doing it. Doc gave me a boxing-wrap like...giant ace bandage like thing to compress the chest.

Basically I have one tender area at the rib, and if I stress those muscles, or hyper-expand the rib cage (cough) it can hurt. He did x-rays, no obvious issues, so said take like 5mg prednisone for a few days, ibuproferin if I want, wear the brace if I want - and I can still lift, it's just pain but nothing serious.

Well considering my first internet search told me either my gallbladder exploded or I had cancer...
