sarbah77: Pay no attention to Wally and Jamie. They're both madly in love with me and it manifests itself in strange ways....

Oh, okay, that makes sense.



So, it turns out, I'm going to need another knee surgery. My surgeon says I should look into having it at the end of October. I'll be on crutches for 4 weeks. It's my right leg/knee. However, my husband is going to a conference in mid-November. If I don't do it in mid-November, well, my busy time at work is the month of December. And then it's January, which is FAR FAR too close to the cruise.

My options are either "hire a taxi to get to work" or "wait until mid-February." It's a LONG gap between late October/early November and mid-February... but I'm not going to screw with this trip!

(And my poor husband couldn't go last year because, well, I was recovering from knee surgery.) (Believe it or not, the surgeries are actually successful!)

You're forgiven! We're still getting used to it ourselves, since it was so completely unexpected!

Shoot, now I feel like I'm spamming: wallyb, you mentioned that you thought it was cool that I got to see the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.

Here's a link to just a few pictures (my skillz are poor): http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarbah77/4851519392/in/set-72157624338378187/ - that one, plus the next 7, were all taken immediately outside or inside the building. Artwork didn't photograph that well for me, so you'll just have to imagine it between the photos.

This is the set thus far, but I still have Gothenburg and another day in London to post. And then hopefully I'll come up with a Flickr set that has about 1/4 the pictures to not bore people to tears!
