Ouch, take it easy, Brenda. Falls are a very bad plan.

Love the picture! I did not even wake up/stay awake to try to see the eclipse but there has been a lot of rain any time I was awake so I don't think I missed anything

brenda! Yikes! Do not throat punch yourself!

Metal head pope sounds Neuromancer-ish

And my whole not knowing what day it is problem has gotten bad enough that not even am I not at all prepared for Pi Day I can't seem to remember that it is today for two consecutive minutes. What the hell, self?

I have also once again forgotten to apply coffee to all my problems, so maybe that will help.

I'm tickled at how the universe (or my health care system) is apparently trying to rush me through the process to get to the carpal tunnel surgery. I had an appointment with my PCP on Tuesday; she referred me for an EMG, which I had yesterday; EMG results showed severe carpal tunnel in my right hand requiring surgery, so PCP referred me to a hand surgeon; this morning I scheduled an evaluation with the surgeon for this coming Monday. If this pattern continues, surgery will probably happen very very soon. And that's fine -- I want to get it over with. And I'm kind of looking forward to a week off work so I can get through my Netflix queue.

That all sounds very good! Aside from the bit where you have carpal tunnel, that's not great. But yay on the speedy getting it fixed!

Yay for quick fixes! Did they say how long you won't be able to work? My guess is that wrists are helpful in editing.

The doctor who did the EMG said probably about 1 week, but maybe 2. I'll be curious to see what the surgeon says.

I took a spectacular fall, coming down on my *throat* and forehead on the back of a chair.

Aye, caramba! That's a very bad landing strategy.

I am sad to report that it's time for everybody to slow the fuck down, hire your neighbor's college age kids to move your furniture, get down off the ladders and hold the bannister when you're going downstairs.

I have my first Pilates today. Let the grand body reshaping plan begin.

I got my eyebrow microblading touched up yesterday and I'm hoping the sweat doesn't sting too much.

When I first got my eyebrows bladed it was disconcerting. I felt conspicuously Groucho Marks. Then it calms down after a week and you get used to it. And now, I look at pictures before I did it and my face looked so undefined.

I especially notice this effect on older guys who've resorted to shaving their heads and their eyebrows are thin and wispy and gray. And I think, "They've chosen to look like thumbs."

Pretty bitchy, I realize coming from the land of Metrosexuals, but I'm not a fan of Joe Rogan's bulletheaded influence.

That sounds reasonable. As they say, follow the doctor's orders. It takes some planning not to use your hands!

Yikes Brenda, self throat punch is bad! Save it for the nazis!

And wow, medical system in action Teppy!
