Major thunder and lightning last night as we made way for a cold front today. It's very windy now, reminds me of home. It's the first day since I've been here that they've closed the Hamilton Sky Bridge.

A bit of pain in the knee today . . . I'm probably overdoing it. I'll take it easy today.

Short-term disability money showed up. I don't think I've ever been so happy to pay bills as I was today!

After a lot of bickering between HR and my surgeon, I'm finally permitted to return to work next week. I'm hoping to have another job soon, though!
