Feeling cozy in Boston

I spent last weekend visiting adrian_turtle, which is always good. She and I spent Saturday afternoon with alanro and shikzoid, who were in town for other reasons (partly to do with Alan's job). I'd not seen them in a while, and Adrian had never met them. They got along quite well: ice cream (Tosci's) and conversation about life and relationships and books. I don't, at the moment, remember what precise remark of Adrian's led to me saying to Alan and Shikzoid, on the T platform, "See why I love this woman?"

Adrian also sent me home with some good advice (to do with taking care of my shoulder), which I have been taking: Saturday night, I asked her, if she saw me doing something stupid or dangerously careless with regard to health and such, to please tell me. So she did, noting that she only has one redbird and my mother isn't making any more. I sent cattitude email, cc'd to myself and to Q, to help me remember to deal with it, and this morning when I got to work I not only reminded my boss I need a better chair, I came up with a workaround for the bad mouse position, involving a rolling file cabinet whose surface is at a better height than my desk's. And Q reminded me about the issue in email today, as I'd requested, and I was glad to be able to say "yes, I've done these things to fix it." My loves take good care of me.
