Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That seems unfair. Who should I address the sternly-worded letter to? (Okay, to whom?)

Huh, I looked up Rosacea and found out that the Rosacea Society's telephone number is 1-800-NO-BLUSH, which certainly adds a touch of humor to an unfunny situation.

ION, the phone screen turned out to be for a much different background than the recruiter thought it was, but at least the interviewer was not the kind of guy who is ungracious about it, and even answered my questions about what it was he was looking for (work with homegrown JS libraries, frameworks like Spring or Zend, lots of Async processing.)

If the above sounds complicated -- it is to me, too. I know just enough to be useless, I guess.

It probably is Sue, the treatments are known to make the other condition worse.

Bah!

Both are usually mild enough that I don't have to use medical remedies, but the rosacea has definitely become more severe over this winter.

I have neither rosacea nor eczema. But I do have an extreme pain my right forearm any time I clench something. It's not wrist pain nor is it elbow pain. WTF is it?

I promised to take Noah bowling and I could only bowl 2 half frames and then in teeth gritting mode.

Aging blows.

Because books.

Carpal tunnel, Kat? Or a nerve being pinched somewhere above it?

I have my first mammogram today at 4 p.m. This seemed exciting when I scheduled it. Now, maybe not so much.

Typo Boy., I am glad you are okay.

Amy, I don't think so. Dr. Google suggests anterior interosseous syndrome.

I have basically slept all day. Called into a final project meeting and was even almost dozing during that. Uhg.

Today has been a bit better. Face just aches without the spikes of crazy pain. But major headache - not migraine thankfully. Taking the day off work and resting as much as I can.

During an earlier nap CJ came in and asked where my nail polish remover was. I swear I told him and was fighting to stay awake to tell him I needed him to go to the Lego store for some specific bricks I needed to stabilize my Lego project. I sat up a few minutes later and looked around for the Lego project before realizing it had been a dream. CJ had asked about the remover but apparently I just grunted at him.
