He has discovered the balloons, the tea in the toilet and the cling wrapped bed

The glitter bomb and photos are still waiting. I got laughter filled "I hate you" and "you must really fucking love me " (you only prank the ones you love) comments

Could be an interesting recovery post surgery. ;-)

Ha ha, your pranks are having full effect! :) Can't wait to hear how the glitter bomb will go down!

I was mostly good

And took a few days to eat those desserts

Still plugging away at getting ready for surgery and trying to get as much school done as possible. How kind of all 3 of my professors to tell me I could work ahead....because that's what I need the week before surgery....to be cramming school work and stress in

On a bright side my coworker and friend

Oh, that's a pretty desert and I'm sure it was tasty too! You certainly deserved it after all the hard work you are putting in form school! Had to smile about all the pranks you have prepared, that's going to be fun! Please tell us how they went down. Take good care and hope all the preparations for your surgery will go well!

I love it. Last year I discovered my extra passport photo fit perfectly over my coworker in his family pic. Took him over a month to notice.

Trying to get as prepared for surgery as I can be. That means getting a long hot bath in as often as possible

I had chosen to take today as a "personal" day or a mental health day BEFORE surgery was scheduled because my fellow director will be gone all next week and I had some stuff to work on and some prepping for the

Thank you @littlejohn22 @big_n3rd and @stcyr! I think its gonna be less of a thing than shoulder surgery shorter actual operation,just the hobbling around will be a little worse. Send entertainment and good vibes!
btflday777:
Wish you good success and may the surgery go smooth! You will feel so much better when you are all recovered, so focus on the long term positive impact. Until then, take it nice easy, your friends will be thinking of you and wishing you good energy, good vibes and quick healing! <3

Day 3 of this diet may kill me

@btflday777on man, that's a lot of time at home. At least you're still working though. We've now sent the 2nd of my coworkers to new york to help.

@big_n3rd I was reminded of it because of a Mark Henry and Bubba Ray Dudley conversation. Today was banana and skim milk day. Just testing it for a week. You can argue that all you want...but photoshop ;) I just needed something because I can't do any of my usual exercises with this hip pain....

My $70 worth of girl scout cookies came. This seemed appropriate

But at least I smell amazing and am soooooooo silly smooth. Who just dumped 3oz of cocoa butter and 3 oz of shea butter in their bath? You guessed it

But I'm not sure I could make life imitate art much more between this bath and and a previous commission from @nerdmachine.


The wasabi fragrance oil and green pigment at least went really well together

This looks very surreal but relaxing. What's the residual left on the tub afterwards? When I was little I soaped up the tub and "skated". This didn't end well. All I wanted for Christmas was my 2 front teeth...

@big_n3rd the green all washed out. Getting out of the tub was dangerous and I rinsed myself and the tub but...very slick

Who just ordered $70 worth of girl scout cookies online and received her monthly hot sauce subscription? This girl

Thanks for all the love and well wishes from my last post. The pain in my hip makes it hard to work out ( if anyone has ab work out ideas that would be easy on my hip send them my way!) which really drags down

@big_n3rd stay safe and healthy! I'm so not enjoying the heat. My coworkers still think it's too cold so I'm going outside to cool down
btflday777:
The best workout advice I have is that you should try to do a mix of exercise that doesn't hurt your hip. Lifting weights for example will help on burning calories and it'll burn from everywhere. This is my 6th week of working from home. I'm super busy as there are many projects going on in parallel. I have to watch out to still have a bit of outdoor time to catch some fresh air and get in some walking. Working from home isn't as easy as I imagined. I miss all the short breaks where I can go talk to my colleagues or just walk around the office to get a cup of tea or an espresso in the afternoon. Let's hope it'll continue well and we will soon see a flattening of cases in the Washington, DC area. Right now it is predicted to reach the peak end of June! Wish you the very best and I'm sure you'll master school in addition to work!

Taking a bath in the middle of the day because why the hell not. I could use the excuse that I'm testing a new product I'm trying to make. I could say it's the end of my weekend. But I think my people know better. They know I'm hurting. This hip pain really is no fun. They know my lungs are taking a beating by...

With a mind like that who needs excuses?
btflday777:
Take it nice easy, a bath is just right to relax and give your hip and lungs a break! Nice that you are developing a new product! Looking forward what it is! Recharge nicely and I'm sure you'll conquer all the challenges in front of you!

Welp they finally moved me to the location closer to the house, and I'm thrilled. Getting to learn under a different director with more years of experience than I've been alive. The other upside is that my office looks out onto one of my favorite cemeteries in town. It's very peaceful when there arent a ton of people walking around like it's a park

That's

Glad work is going well, that's a very nice view, so hope you can enjoy many walks during your breaks! So sorry to read that you'll need surgery!
