so today is the 50th anniversary of tenzing norgay and edmund hillary reaching the top of mt. everest. pretty cool. maybe someday i’ll do the same, as jason and i have decided to become mountain climbers.
sars v2 is back, and just in time for me to drive to austin tonight. tonight, that is, if i get all my crap done today at work. otherwise, tomorrow. sigh. but hopefully tonight. i really need some salt lick bbq and $8 spilled beers in my life, and i know this weekend will do it.
yesterday was long. i was at work until almost 7, then went over to debbie’s to keep her company while jason played softball. her knee surgery went fine yesterday, but she was pretty much out of commission last night and couldn’t do anything but doze on the couch. she got sick once while i was over, probably from the vicadin, but other than that seemed to be doing ok. her knee hurt, obviously. but it should get better pretty quickly, i hope.
it was nice to hang out with her. i like taking care of people when they’re not feeling well or need help, even if i’m just sitting around while they sleep. i can’t really explain it, but it feels really good to be needed and useful. i guess it’s just that i know how much i appreciate having company when i’m not well, and so i like being able to do that for someone else.
