Winding down November

legalmooseI checked my work phone this morning, mainly to look at scheduling, and ended up taking care of two "emergencies" that people were hopping about this morning, then promptly dumped it on the charger to ignore it once more. They can have my time when I'm back on the clock Wednesday. I did end up having to reschedule a doctor's appointment because the original one is on the day they chose for out office holiday party while I was out on break. No biggie, thankfully. Still need to find out when my current 90 day full-time-remote status dies (next week, I think). I think I'm capable of commuting in now, but I'll make sure to take the crutch with me for it.
Ortho at the end of the week. Vet for the cats tomorrow. So I'll be working Wednesday and Thursday, but off the rest of the week, added to the week off last week. Has been a nice break. Knee is progressing still, but definitely not back to normal. I'm able to bike on a stationary trainer now, so that's becoming my default cardio. The new Garmin GPS watch I bought in August for running works well with the bike accessories, so at least that wasn't a total waste.
Desperately behind on comics. Like dozens of issues behind at this point. Even reading 4-5 a day I'm still falling behind because of the backlog. Clearly we have a comics problem.
On the third color of my four-color brioche scarf, finally. Just in time to get more yarn for a blanket the husband asked for (which I'm glad I grabbed, because the plum base he wanted is not showing as available any more on the site).
Xmas is all up, and we're the envy of our street (which apparently got me added to a group text that I hadn't been on before). Added some strings going from the roof to the group floor, framing the house and windows (lines from the balcony edge straight down to the top of the garage/front door), and some blinking rainbow candy canes for the front walk. And a manual timer to turn them on at 4:30pm and off at 7:30am, roughly around dusk and dawn.
