The nytimes is saying the police are questioning some guy in Altoona PA for maybe being the CEO shooter because someone tipped them he was seen in McDonald’s. I’d roll my eyes and doubt it but it also said the suspect had a silencer and fake ids. Which if true, I would be so disappointed that he was still carrying that shit around days later to be caught?? Seems weird. There must be more to this surely.

The shooter seems like a weird combo of prepared and sloppy. Like taking off his mask to flirt and showing his face but avoiding all other surveillance. It's a whole weird thing over all.

Waaaaa, I need the bubble wrap. Saturday, long story, but I got knocked off balance and hit my head against the side of a metal golf-cart-thing (and hit the ground with the rest of my side). I got checked out by an EMT on site, and no concussion, so just bruises and pain and a lump on my head and several strangers watching me cry.

Today I saw the doctor for confirmation that yeah, the tingling in my left hand is almost certainly carpal tunnel, given that I had it in the right hand several years ago. I can't do the surgery right now because you can't lift anything over 5 pounds for 6 weeks, and we have to pack the fucking house for the move. So I got a steroid shot which A) hurt like a son of a bitch, and B) has caused pain in my hand that I didn't have. I was warned, it should go away in a couple of days, but I am ready to just go back to bed for a week.

Yikes, Dana! That sounds similar to one of my spills, and it fucking hurt. I hereby pass the bubble wrap to you along with ibuprofen and a heating pad. Copious amounts of fanfic are also highly curative.

I am also applying a rewatch of Heartstopper.

No bueno, Dana!

Listen my aging-population-Buffistae, you've got to be more careful with your physical bodies.

You need to start treating stairs (and probably curbs too) as a potential threat that requires focus.

Also stay away from volcanoes, and small animals underfoot.

Too much headsmacking! We're getting to the age cohort that doesn't really recover from injuries so much as limps along with our fucked up knees forever.

This could be problematic. I spend a lot of time on ladders, in rafters, and in lifts on various active construction sites.

Seriously, when I fell a month ago, I caught myself with my hand, and it's still alternately tingly and numb. (It's being treated with steroids, because something is likely pinched and/or inflamed.) And I still have a couple of fading bruises from falling in the tub 2 weeks ago.

I have started doing some exercises for better balance, because I can only imagine what will happen when there's snow and ice outside. I'm going to need Yaktrax for my boots.

This particular incident wasn't my fault, which makes it unusual.

Plus, apparently, not bothering to ditch the gun and the fake ID.
