zooom is doing well, we had a talk the other night about some stuff that's been going on, and i'm feeling better about things, and work on the house is progressing slowly but steadily
i got a good nights' sleep last night for the first time in a week, and i feel well rested today
and today is thursday, so i get to go to

the bad:
the damn weather hasn't stabilized, so my arthritis is still in flames - right now i'm numb from my right hip to mid-calf from the swelling in the joint and very unhappy about it
the ugly:
traffic was astonishingly ugly this morning - i hate md/dc drivers - for absolutely no visible reason it took me about an hour and a half to get to work today, yet there were no accidents or construction anywhere on the route... why can't people learn to fucking drive?!
