I am icing my thumb. I'm a little concerned about this, I gave someone the thumbs up gesture today and there was this electric
twangggg
through my thumb. It had started with a mild pain at the base of my palm/thumb and escalated even though I wasn't stressing it, it isn't my dominant hand, I haven't been doing stripping that really stresses it. I looked up some anatomy, it is def tendon. Uhg. Was talking to my neighbor and she was all dire. She had something like this happen last year and she still has issues.
Of course, she already had carpal tunnel to begin with.
It isn't really painful, just... electric. Kinda fun if it wasn't, you know, WRONG.
OTOH, this is joint-weirdness week, so it might all go away in a few days, along with the wonky knees and elbows that feel like they are popping out of socket.
One problem with the Miss Piggy argument: she's not on Sesame Street. Different set of Muppets entirely (apart from Kermit
the
Frog)
Almighty Hivemind,
My Bronzer friend Clarrie is coming (from UK) to visit, tomorrow. Scott & I are taking her and her fiance out for dinner, but I want to have some beer and red wine in the house for before and after. What should I get. Wine -- I'm thinking about a $25 bottle. Beer? Er...the sky's the limit, I guess.
eta... Yes Bronzer/Buffistas, it's that Clarrie.
I agree with Debet's issue with the Miss Piggy arguement, but that outfit doesn't seem any more revealing than the feamle puppet in "Furry Happy Monsters" [link]
Timelies!
Been busy all day. In reverse:
Borrowed car overheated on the 14 near the 5. Luckily, I still pay for my AAA membership although I do not own a car. It turns out the car had not been properly maintained and had ZERO water/coolant in the radiator.
Went to a bday party out towards Palmdale. Baking hot but nice breezes. Forced myself to be more outgoing. Was mostly successful. Still wonder whether something I said was misinterpreted and thus makes me seem like an ass (or worse, hurt someone's feelings). I'm trying not to obsess about that like I usually do.
Met an extraordinarily interesting woman who is a planetary geologist and works for a contractor for JPL. Also met some more The Guild actors, crew, extras. The bday boy is well-loved and it's well-deserved.
Met with The Artist's Way group I got together. They want to put the group (only 3 of us) on hold for 3 weeks because I'll be gone and one other hasn't gotten the book yet though we're 3 weeks in. I got a little balky because I just can't guarantee I'll have all my readings and exercises done. It's enough for me to meet and talk and try my best but he's a bit anal about everything. So I'm kicking back (internally). My depression has shot upwards since moving in with my parents and being mostly housebound in LA. And of course that affects my productivity.
I worry, sara. Have some ibuprofen and use icepacks. Take care of your hands! *fret*
Okay, so I'm about 15 minutes into LoneStar and, wait, he seems to be a bigamist. I'm all for the (fictional) con, but I can't like a protagonist who's got two - wives or fiancees or girlfriends, whatever, who clearly don't know about each other.
Also, he's not all that cute.
...oh, look, he's faithful to both of them. Well, that makes it okay, then.
OMG, I'm invisible to the hivemind. Where shall I get my answers? Ogodogodogodogod.
