So, let’s see.  I’m walking, sort of.  Started putting weight on the foot about 2 months ago, am now using a cane.  Stepped down from Percoset to Vicoden, which I guess is a good thing but the percs were really nice.  Still need the pain-killers on shopping days, which I hate so I try not to do very often.  Technically I’m in physical therapy but I’ve only gone twice.  I need to call and make another appointment, which is why I’m here updating for the first time in months.  Makes perfect sense to me.  I am looking forward to the pool therapy, tho, especially since I can go in shorts and a tee.  Me + swimsuit = major fail.  Not happening.

I have my computer back in it’s rightful place.  Which is to say, I’m back at my disaster of a desk in the attic.  Perhaps not the brightest of ideas; the kitchen is two floors below me, the bathroom one.  I can’t walk up or down stairs without pain and *lots*of help from the handrails that are not exactly securely attached to the walls.  Wow, life is fun!!

My baby sister is getting married in June.  I volunteered for shawls and jewlery…which are not only not done, but for the most part not started.  I excel at procrastination, especially where there are soooo many other cool things to be doing!  Like watching Twitter!  Playing with virtual (fluff)Friends!  Staring out the window at the rain!  See, life is just so full of win.  I’ll get it all done, I almost always do, but I’m thinking the little pink happy pills are going to be the only reason I don’t stab someone with pointy needles…or, more likely, stab myself in the eye.

And, yes, I’m one of those “over-reactors” in the “mob” who’s done with Amazon.  Their press release gives no real answers while trying to placate only those who are paying attention.  A press release?  Really?  Why not just come clean on your own site, man up and admit to any problems and tell us exactly what you’re doing to make sure we feel good about spending money with you?  How about a public apology?  What about the authors whose books were de-ranked before all of this blew up?  How about explaining just how your programming is so fucked that one person could make such a huge mistake by accident?  Why is that “adult” tag that can completely de-rank a book there in the first place?   Why the hell are people making these kinds of changes to the underlying structure on a live fucking site to begin with??  No, I’m sorry.  There’s just too much that feels too much like a big corporation not giving a shit about the people who made them what they are.  I guess it shouldn’t be surprising, given how much they’ve grown and taken over, but I am disappointed.  I enjoyed the wishlist to keep track of stuff I wanted because I am QueenScatterbrain.  I loved the prices, of course.  I really loved the book recommendations and had purchased quite a few based solely on that and the user reviews, and not once was I disappointed.  I will miss all of that but I simply can’t give my money to a company who so completely disrespects me as a customer.  #AmazonFail, indeed.  I’ll be buying my almost $500 (probably over, without those prices) in camera equipment, not to mention hundreds in books, somewhere else.

Now that I’ve updated, I’ve got more procrastinating to do.  See you…whenever.
