Sometimes one must go the extra mile to support our deployed troops. The wife of a former co-worker whose gym locker is about six away from mine is on her way to her second (or is it her third?) trip to the Sandbox since Operation Iraqi Freedom began–she and her … Continue reading →
First day back at work after vacation. Most of you know that’s no fun. My 6 week post-op follow-up with the orthopedist today went fine. He says the knee is what it is; won’t get any better; deal with it. I figured that was the answer (he put it more … Continue reading →
I made my recent trip home by cashing in airline miles on Delta Airlines. For 95,000 miles and $10, I scored a first class round trip ticket. Both legs were routed through Atlanta. Atlanta is a jumping off point for troops coming home on R&R from Iraq and Afghanistan. As … Continue reading →
I managed to do some revision on Twilight while I was at home. Perhaps more importantly (aside from the time spent in loving bliss doing yard work with my hubby) was the reading I accomplished on Self-Editing for Fiction Writers: How to Edit Yourself into Print by Renni Browne and … Continue reading →
Finally made it back to Virginia. Bad weather in Atlanta, compounded by a long mechanical delay on my scheduled aircraft, rendered my efforts to leave San Antonio yesterday afternoon fruitless. Since they wanted to strand me in Atlanta very late last night, I elected to extend my leave one day … Continue reading →
Knee feels better today. Hands were a little better when I got up this morning. They still feel OK tonight, but I still plan to minimize computer use while I’m home with hubby (he’s jealous of these affairs I carry on with my computers anyway–I think he prefers the attention … Continue reading →

Dr for knee on 25th when I get back from Texas (regularly scheduled follow-up). Will ask about hands–and maybe other joints then. Hands are worst right now. Plan to stay off computer while in Texas–may help. My take is carpal tunnel–if rest now, it may improve. Many of you will … Continue reading →
So, tell me again why I’m disintegrating? Every joint in my body began aching about a week or so ago. This afternoon, my left knee, which has been doing pretty well, considering the arthritis, decided it doesn’t want to bend without hurting when I apply body weight to it (i.e, … Continue reading →
If I didn’t know better, I’d guess Coach Popovich was doing this on purpose. With Duncan, Nesterovic, Ginobili, and Devin Brown out of commission, the Spurs are now winning games. They’re winning ugly, but they’re winning. Last night’s double overtime victory came with three of five starters on the injured … Continue reading →
