ita, if I had a magical pain-free wand, I think you would be the first person I waved it over.

Pix, go team you! I HAVE to start moving more, or else I'm going to freeze into a wretched little hunched computer gargirl.

Suzi, I hope you get relief for your shoulder. I've messed up my shoulder a couple of times, and you don't realize how much you really use your arms until the blazing pain reminds you.

Also, I think it's so awesome that CJ is doing rescue work. Scary, yet awesome.

tommyrot, hah! D's netbook is covered with stickers, and mine has been plain until last week. I went with this sticker pack: my favorite is the Drunk Librarian one, although THE Pynchon novel one is a close 2nd. [link]

Thanks Erin. My karate training partner is a nurse and I was describing the issue to her yesterday as - it is fine until it most assuredly is not. I was supposed to be on the next belt test, which is in two weeks, but my calendar already had a couple of immovable things on it. So now I have until September to prepare - including fixing my shoulder.

Not sure what kind of call CJ is on today. It is something in town, non-emergency, but not a planned event. I'm not finding anything in the news that fits the location they were headed to. Will get the details when he gets home.

I really want to get one of the adult weighted hula hoops. I've heard great things about it.

I am soooo bored.

Half an hour 'til I get back to my own desk. (BTW, new computer? Still not there.)

Luckily, I was inside for the huge dust storm, but they are not uncommon for this time of year...we got some rain too.

I can't hula hoop anymore. My hips just don't seem to work that way.

I HAVE to get one and work on it. I need to get my hips moving for derby.

although THE Pynchon novel one is a close 2nd.

Ha! "My other car is a Pynchon novel."

Is it the size of a Giant Wombat?

I'm running a fever. I had appendicitis and didn't run a fever. I don't think I've had a fever in 25 years.

And a prescription for prilosec. Not sure what that has to do with the fever, but what the fuck. It's not like I haven't pretty much given up on doctors.

I haven't eaten solid food yet. I'm contemplating the coffee cake from yesterday, with some tea. But I don't want to feel it in my stomach.

Ah, well. Onto 90 minutes of conference calls, only 60 of which I have to lead. And I can't actually see straight.

Oh, ita. That sounds awful. I hope you feel better soon.

I made my own hoop and was pretty fierce about it for awhile. I need to get back to it. I'd especially like to take classes because, while I am solid on the basic moves...I can keep it up [hey now, watch yourself!] for an hour. Great cardio, but can get boring.

I am, tragically, feeble with anything beyond simple turns.
