RELAX TO THE MAX

I have a feeling that posting will be light for awhile, if I don’t manage to write anything else before vacation. I have 3.5 more days (half because Thursday morning I have the MRI appointment) of work, and MAN, do I have short-timers syndrome. I am SO ready for vacation. All my co-workers are back in the office and the first thing they ask, of course, was how was your summer vacation? and when I say I haven’t had it yet, the look of shock on their faces is hilarious. And then pitying, as they realize that means I have...

PLANTY, PINCHY, PERSPIRING

It’s super hot and muggy today, the kind of weather I like the absolute least. We’ve got every fan in the house going, all the windows are open, and even the front door, trying to get a cross-breeze. I was just out in the garden watering and the water was sucked up by the earth as fast as it came out of the hose. Martin and I went to the plantshop after work and bought a new coral-colored rosebush for under the trellis and Anders already planted it. I hope it’s as prolific as the previous one was. I doubt...

NO COMMENTING FOR YOU

I’ll be damned…LJ support actually answered my question. It turns out that anonymous commenting is currently disabled for reasons that were not explained. LJ developers are aware of the issue and working to fix it but in my opinion they need to step it up…this has been going on for nearly a year if not more. And now, since I know they’ll answer, I’ll put in another request to get help getting my theme back, hopefully. Wish I had sent in the support question before I changed themes, but oh well. It’s July 1st! Halfway through 2022. Good grief, how...

DISAPPOINTED AND DEFLATED

Bummed out about my stupid journal. I tried switching my layout to one of the newer themes, knowing that it might not work and if it didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to get my Findus theme back, and sure enough, that’s exactly what happened. I’ve sent a ticket into the LJ support email asking for help on the issue about non-LJ accounts not being able to comment, but I have no idea if I’ll get an answer. And I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my theme back, even though when I was searching around...

WEATHER THE WEATHER

I just scrolled back through my friends feed, which was all colossal and comics and made it all the way to June 7 before there was an actual post from an actual person on my friends list (and that, one that I’ve never met in person and probably never will). So, I guess I’m not the only one being lame about blogging. I’m still writing my daily good things list on FB, that must count for something, right? LJ is super buggy nowadays, which makes me think that the powers that be behind the LJ scenes are no longer at...

SUMMER SLUG

Having a pinched nerve in my neck is the weirdest sensation. If I tilt my head back slightly, my right hand fills with pins and needles. The moment I bend my head forward, it disappears…mostly. I have the faintest sensation of needles in my knuckles even afterwards. If I don’t tilt my head forward, the pins and needles intensify until my elbow and even the front of my shoulder are tingling. When I googled “pinched nerve”, one medical website says they will often go away by themselves, normally after 4-6 weeks, but it’s already been at least that. Another medical...

SUMMER APPARENTLY TURNS ME UPSIDE DOWN

Geez louise, my last post was in MAY. How do I manage to go this long without writing when my intentions have paved the way to hell and back, they’re so good. Part of the issue is my ongoing, renewed struggle with the pinched nerve in my neck, which began again with a vengeance about a month ago. Just sitting at the computer causes it to pinch, which causes my entire right arm to go tingly and numb all the way down to my fingertrips. It pinches when I tilt my head back, even just slightly. 🙁 GAH. Last time...

WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Everyone has a broken butt story, it turns out. I don’t know how many times this past week, after explaining what happened to me last week, I heard similar stories from whoever I was talking to: they fell down stairs, mostly, and all of them said it took forever to heal. GAH. It’s been a week plus a couple of days and I still can’t sit comfortably or walk for long. I didn’t walk all week, and today when Martin and I went out, I had to cut our walk short because halfway around the village, it was getting really...

WHAT I HAVE TO SHOW FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS

I’ve completely lost the motivation to write here, which is weird considering that I think about it all the time. Why doesn’t that translate to sitting down and writing something? I have no idea but I’m not going to spend any time beating myself up about it. It is what it is. No posts equals no comments but since posts don’t garner comments either, it’s a moot point. The last post I wrote was on February 21st. Here’s a list of things that have happened since then: took a day off and spent it in Copenhagen with Debbie and Camilla,...

COVID NO-VID

There’s COVID in the house, but even so, it’s hard to tell. Last week, after Anders got back from his ski trip with Karin (she stayed up north at a different ski resort with her girlfriend), his friend & colleague who had been skiing with him called on Wednesday morning to tell Anders that he wasn’t feeling well, had gone to get a PCR fast-result test and was positive. So, Anders came home from work at 10, and then at lunchtime HE went to get a PCR fast-result test. Later that afternoon, they called with the results: positive. EEEE Two...
