i really don't know what to say, but i'll say what i can.
work is substantially better, dealing with limited duties and a sweet schedule (2 on, 2 off, 3 day weekend every other week, albeit with 12 hour shifts). still no word on what's going to happen next (or when), but the soonest that i should hear about anything is in 2 months. i think i'll start going to the beach more often now with the extra time i have off. i'm on the tail-end of my three-day work weekend today. it felt odd not only working on a sunday, but also on easter. i also relearned how to sleep sitting up straight today, though not while i was officially on watch. man, this job is exciting!
the leg has seen no progress. i'm still waiting on a MRI appointment, something that could take a month or more to even hear back about. at least my new duties at work afford me the opportunity to relax and avoid exacerbating the current condition.
i'm still (considerably) miserable in my current situation. reasonable, given that i'm prone to frequent restlessness and dissatisfaction. my current affliction is daydreaming about driving my old '66 valiant 200 across the states, trading in my television for a new canon rebel xt (or xti). i wish. and still, it's a probable (yet far-off) event. one can only hope.
and katie visited for the past week. and i was happy. and it all felt right (even though she did her best to instill in me a strong hankering to get a puppy). we're working on plans for her to move in for the summer, a scheme still tenuous as the near future is even hazy. but i can't wait to see her again. i feel like a part of me has left with her, and this apartment is surely less of a home without her.
shit. time to go pass out.

Glad to hear things are a little better man.
Think you're going to have any room in that Valiant ?
I could use a little fresh air myself.
