This will actually cover Thursday and early Friday (I’ll be gone this weekend at a chorus educational event in Baltimore and won’t be able to update again until Sunday evening).

Thursday started with a dentist appointment. Dr. Bishop gave me a filling – very carefully, because it was below the gum surface – but he managed the process well, with local anesthesia and a minimum amount of pain. After the dentist, I came home, checked on the status of the non-negotiations, and worked on the blog. (What would I do without you, loyal readers?) More blogging, responding to e-mail and Facebook posts and playing video games in the afternoon.

Looks like there’s a chance of a break in the stalemate. If they can agree on the size and shape of the table and sit down and start talking, they may actually vote to let us go back to work, at least for a few weeks.

This morning, Woody and I took the car out to Koons Ford in Silver Spring for some free servicing (offered to furloughed federal employees – thanks, Susan Carey Cundiff for the information!). Watched the Finn memorial Glee episode. I made Frosty Tomato Salad – most of which is going with Woody and me to eat at lunch with our friend Peter Turnbull.
