good news all around
2012-Sep-03, Monday 10:34 amI forgot that today was a holiday break from work! I had already showered, shaved, and was getting ready to drive (not bicycle) to work. So now I get the unexpected joy of a "school snow day" in summer. :)
My former boss has finally located a job. That's great news. I had pondered several times posting a recommendation for her on LinkedIn, but I wasn't sure how to write such things. I even asked once at Bear Coffee about appropriate wording and such, but I never got around to finally doing it. I don't know if employers actually look at LinkedIn reviews anyway. At least it turned out well anyway.
I've been having a great time playing the new game Guild Wars 2. Here is a picture of my main character. He's a Norn (a Nordic people) ranger, and he's wearing a full set of the special "Hall Of Monuments" armor that I unlocked by playing Guild Wars 1. They've done really well on every aspect of online gaming. My few complaints tend to be about crafting, but they are minor issues. Very well done product! I recommend this free-to-play game.
I think that my nerve issues have improved. I'm certain that during the time since my metronidazole medication, I haven't had a single phantom taste or phantom cold sensation. Yes, I still have muscle twitches, but I'll take improvement anywhere I can get it. I continue my B12 supplements in hopeful anticipation.
For several months, I've been eyeing those sliding exercise benches like Chuck Norris' Total Gym. I can't do "push" exercises because they exacerbate my carpel tunnel problems. My theory, though, is that "pull" exercises are a routine that I could continue without causing myself any undue pain. I found an online bargain through QVC to get one for only $300, so I ordered it. I figure it's my investment in healthcare since I can't afford doctor bills or health insurance. *laugh* I'll post a review after my wrists have had a few months to try it out.
In the same health-conscious trend, I'm also planning to plant a winter garden this year. I should have planted seeds a few weeks ago, but I'll get it done this week. I'm not sure what to use besides broccoli. It's the only thing I've seen do well in early Minnesota winters before the really cold weather kills everything. I ordered some more garlic bulbs to plant, but it won't start growing until spring. Anybody have some favorite edibles to suggest for a winter garden?
