We're heading into Memorial Day weekend. It should be the weekend that heralds the official start of summer, but alas, I fear it's going to just be more of the same as we sit here under house arrest for no discernible good reason.
- We are, actually, planning a trip to a furniture store tomorrow. I was a good little Borglet and made an appointment for us. I'm not sure what they'll do when a family of four shows up--as they didn't ask how many were in my party--but it's living room furniture and we all live there, so we all get to have an opinion.
- We bumped up youngest's ritalin dose to 30mg and I think we've hit the sweet spot! He's still an active, twisty, bouncy kid (so no possibility of being over dosed) but he can sit and read and he can attend to directions. Could he maybe go higher and benefit? Eh. Possibly. But I'm content enough here not to push it. Because this is really quite livable for all of us. Best of all is the fact that he still notices that he feels better and behaves better while on it.
- I believe I've manged to develop DeQuervain's tendonosis. Basically my thumb hurts. A lot. Especially when I do things like type. Sigh.
- Treatment for the above is basically a splint - so I've been trying to keep it immobilized when I don't need it. But, no surprise here, one actually needs ones thumb quite a bit. Especially the thumb on the dominant hand.
- I'm back to trying very diligently to be low carb. I hates it, but it's the only possibility for my body to shed some of these pounds and I really would like to do that.
- Of course, being low carb is considerably more challenging when meat is basically twice as expensive as it was two weeks ago (when you could find it.) So that's fun.
- Robbo pointed out that we're in for cicadas this year. All I can say to that is blergh.
"Blergh" is pretty much all there is to say about the cicadas. I shoulda dunna shorter post.
