Three Posts In One Day???

Okay, so this one doesn't really qualify as a full post, but here's a couple more updates on the Daniels saga:

• After waiting for an hour in the orthopaedist's waiting room on Tuesday, the doctor looked at my leg for ten minutes, basically said "Yep, you've got what the other two healthcare professionals before me have said you've got" and then sent me to schedule an MRI. The MRI's scheduled for 3:30 next Wednesday followed by a return to the office (and another $25 copay) two days later. Assuming the MRI comes back positive, it's off to arthroscopy-land I go. If it comes back negative, there's no telling where this road will lead.
• After a year and something like another $15k in student loans, Carrie's schooling appears to have finally paid off! She had an interview yesterday afternoon with a Carlson-Wagonlit affiliate in Danville, KY and was all but offered the job as long as her references pan out. It'll be steady work (1:30-close M-Th and all day Friday) until she graduates, and then move into full-time after graduation in September. The drawback is the 45-minute drive from Lexington to Danville, but the pay will be decent and Carrie thought very highly of the agency owner, so it could be fun. Woohoo! Here's to no more working in retail for Carrie!
• For those who came to our wedding, or otherwise have met my Grandma Freda over the years, keep her in your prayers if you do that sort of thing. She's either in the operating room as I write, or already out and recovering from a surgery to patch a hernia in her bowels. Without getting into any of the gross details, let's just hope things go well.
• Finally, Carrie and I are making an attempt to be more active. Call it crappy summer TV, call it a need to feel healthier, but for whatever reason we've joined the local YMCA and spent four out of the last five nights working out instead of vegging out. Other than some sore triceps the first two days, it feels pretty good to be active again. Keep your fingers crossed that we can keep it up.
