And now for the post of the week
It's been outrageously hot for April-May so far. I've been spoiled on our winter. I want the winter weather back! Not in the least because I hate when warm weather comes with all its attendant bugs. Bugs bugs bugs. Cockroaches, mosquitoes, gnats, fleas, and all the other icky, nasty, mean things.
I've been having some sort of weird issue with my right hand. It wouldn't be a big deal at all, except for that I write with my right hand. It's definitely my dominant hand... and lately when I try to close my hand or pinch my fingers or hold a book page open, it starts hurting then trembling then twitching. It's actually a bit painful and I would really like it to quit. I looked up hand tremors -- and it's one of the early symptoms to entirely TOO many things: carpal tunnel, repetitive stress, calcium deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, thyroid problems, Parkinson's, epilepsy... The list goes on and gets progressively more terrifying. I would much prefer one of the first 4 than the last 3.
I don't know... It's not like it's all the time or anything and it's not like I have great joints. Maybe if it keeps up beyond next week, I'll see about making a doctor's appointment. I just hate going to the man; he always so condescending, and it always takes so long to get an appointment. Yeah, we'll see.
Everyone I've ever talked to has said that if you don't like your primary care physician then fire them. I doubt I'd be able to find a good one, so I'm not sure on the wisdom of bothering.
When I get home, I'm going to install my copy of the Rosetta Stone program and German 1 on Wraith, so I can keep up with my studying while I'm on the go. See? I can be smart sometimes. (Or as Katsuko would put it: I can be a smart cookie for not being a cookie. I forget which one of us originated that expression, but we like using it.)
And now to see about trying to get some writing done before I'm gone for the weekend.
