Somebody on a mailing list I read said that he didn't know about XYZ because he wasn't on FB. Dude, we talked about XYZ *on this list* three months ago, and it gets mentioned on a regular basis. But because he didn't notice it, the discussion must have been on FB. bwah?

mutter. I realised, when I was unpacking the groceries after I got home, that I'd forgotten to go through the produce department. So I'll need to do that either later today or tomorrow. I was thinking I'd do it on the way home from Greenfield Village tomorrow, but then I realised that J will be along, and he'll be tired and probably grumpy. So, ( Read more... )

This time actual PT, not just evaluations. It took about two weeks, but the cortisone injection finally seems to have gotten the last of the inflammation in the shoulder joint to go away. Now there's just the joint instability and lowered range of motion and strength to deal with. "Just", she says.

Today's PT (not the same one I saw last time, but ( Read more... )

3 PTs in the last 4 visits, due to scheduling, etc. They're distributing the limited hours evenly among the still working PTs (a couple have taken furloughs, the first one I saw had non-COVID pneumonia, one broke a thumb playing catch with his 10yo, etc), and the one I'd been seeing most recently is now off on Fridays; and as I am good at symptoms ( Read more... )

So, the FCB has known for a couple of weeks that yesterday's rehearsal was going to be at a different site -- announced at the previous two rehearsals -- and that at least some people would need to bring a chair and/or stand. (Middle school bandrooms don't usually have chairs & stands for 85.) Over the weekend, the FCB board sent out a reminder, ( Read more... )

- I cannot do roof work anymore. It really annoys my back, to the point that 30 minutes on a roof means a day of doing very little else while I wait for the impingement to go down. J has discovered that he is no longer 45, and will do no more roofing, either. OTOH, the garage now has a spiffy new roof to match the house ( Read more... )

Not quite as hot as it was, but still summer. Considering that it's July, I"m OK with that ( Read more... )

It's 7:30 pm Monday, and I'm not in Farmington with the rest of the FCB peeps. I wanna, but docs say 'not until you talk to the specialist'. I understand why (and agree, on one level), but I wanna play!
