Today's forecast: boring stuff followed by humor
Update on back and neck: I can now turn my head to the right and left with only minimal pain. And the alternating numbness and shooting pains in my extremities have abated. Sweet!
+++++++++++++
I figured out a rig to help me split the yarn I'm working with, using my camera tripod. Yay for using little grey cells to make life easier!

Ray said we didn't feel the earthquake. Well, I did. Trouble is, I'd taken so much ibuprofen for my neck, when it happened I thought I was woozy for a second. Hahahahaha! One of my customers yesterday has a five-week-old baby, who was with her on the couch when the tremor hit, and her first thought was, "Am I that exhausted, that I feel like this?" A lot of laughs all the way around.

I've been sitting on a doozy of an anecdote. One of my customers last week was a man I'd say in his mid-to-late fifties. He arranged two orders on the conveyor, separated by a plastic bar we use for that purpose. As I did my job, he explained that the food in the first order was for his 94-year-old mother. Look what she eats, he said, It's all crap! And then he noted his own order behind it, full of low-fat this, and low-salt that. He'd just taken his mom to the doctor for a checkup, and when the doc asked her if she had any of a long list of complaints, she kept saying no, no, no, no, and her son was thinking that if he'd been answering the questions on his own behalf, he would have been saying yup, yup, yup,yup...
AND, he said, his mom is very proud of the fact that she's never been to what she calls the "jinecologist". The woman behind him chuckled and said that sounded like her MIL. A woman in her 90s, she lives by herself and does pretty well, except that she is missing some cultural references. She thinks, for instance, that condoms are those things they're building down the street.
Ba-Dum-Bum! as we say in this household...
