Sigh. Ran the September 5k today, and FELT like I ran quite a bit more than before...and was still almost a full minute slower than my July one. BOO! Now I'm all grumpy about it. I was really hoping the clock time was pretty far off the chip time, but apparently not. GRRRR.

Casper (4th grade) had homework on factoring and least common multiples recently, and it took a couple of minutes but I did manage to pull those concepts out of the basement of my brain. Soon I expect to be turning to Khan Academy (or, you know, my PhD in engineering husband) if she needs help. And I was good at math (Calculus A-B 5 in high school, baby!)

At least one of them is named Don King. That amuses me.

Must gird my loins and go back to Khan Academy (KHAAAN!) to try and finally figure out fractions. Sure, 40 years later, try to make sense of this stuff. But I hate staring at equations and feeling like an ignoramus.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Heh. My facebook feed just erupted in "CHIEFS!!" Yes, this is how I follow sports.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I type ill, it gives me "I'll" as a choice; same with there, they're and their.
Giving you a choice isn't the same thing as learning. Current iterations don't adapt to an individual user's swyping tics. When I put in "there" it's definitely not the same pattern as "they're". Swype doesn't really care too much, and is going to give me the exact same choice the 100th time as it did the 1st, even if I always choose "there" for that particular drag of the fingers.
I have to learn what *it* thinks is the right way to enter there, not vice versa. Not cool, computer, not cool.
However, I'm faster at it than my sister is at tapping, and my swyping is certainly faster than my tapping, so I'm fairly happy with it. But learning's the first thing I'd like to see improved.

So, the kidney stone passed, I think, yesterday. I refuse to pee through a tea strainer.
I think, though, that I must have kidney stones all the time. The pain stopped before I had the IV toradol and stayed gone. I had a CT scan also after the toradol which is when they told me I had a kidney stone, where it was and its size. I haven't had pain since the IV.
Anyway, it's been a stay at home today after yesterday at soccer day. Oh not quite stay at home. I went to Kiehl's because I had a 20% off coupon.

Kat,
they say that 80% (or something like that) of us have gall stones all the time, so I wouldn't be surprised if you have stones hanging out in the kidneys all the time too.
