I helped my sister paint the bottom of her and her husband’s boat with anti-stuff paint (it keeps small creatures, algae, and other unwanteds from growing on it) this past weekend. It doesn’t seem like a big boat from above (although still more boat than I have) but it is a lot bigger when one is crouched under the bottom of the hull with a roller and paint tray. Still, I’ll be going to hang out on the boat a fair bit this summer, so I’m glad I could contribute a bit.
Bev, I’m so glad you had a chance to catch up with your grandson!
I don’t think there has been much Doctor. Who discussion yet, Karl, but I believe Boxed Set is the thread for it
That’s pretty cool, Calli. Will make future messing about in boats even more satisfying, I would guess
I am logged into work but having a hard time remembering what my job even is.
-t , same same same.
Per my post on BS, I think my job now is just posting what I’d rather be doing than my job.

I was off all last week after the carpal tunnel surgery, and my editing brain is taking a while to get back into the swing of things today.
How is the recovery going, Teppy?
I am trying to do my job but my internet keeps dropping and I don’t know why and it is very annoying. Argh. Monday morning is not the right time for this.
How is the recovery going, Teppy?
Pretty well. My wrist area is sore, but ice really helps. My fingers are still numb, but the surgeon warned me that could take months to resolve, because nerves do regrow, but they regrow verrrry slowly. Basically recovery has been uneventful, which is a real medical term that means "totally normal with no problems." You really don't want events of any kind during recovery.
Uneventful, FTW!
In bro news, my brother remains very frail, but the chemo and radiation eliminated the tumor in his esophagus, and he is learning to eat again. He still has the feeding tube, but he had a slice of meatloaf and cottage cheese yesterday! He hadn't even been able to drink water, so this is great. It is super slow going, but he is delighted to eat real food. Bad news is that in one (or more) of his falls, he has torn his rotator cuff in a couple of areas. The surgeon says he isn't strong enough for surgery, so they gave him a shot for the pain and are immobilizing the arm. They also want to do surgery for the unrelated tumor in his lung, but that isn't urgent. Yes, since he is feeling a bit better, he is smoking more again. Sigh.
