Sorry I’ve been out because I was sick. Seems I have developed the beginnings of carpal tunnel problems with my left arm. It really began to crop up to painful and troublesome levels after Christmas. The first major warnings were my recent difficulties playing Guitar Hero when I couldn’t get the fourth finger on my left hand to hit the blue fret. Somara has had this problem for much longer; sadly people in the culinary field have it as badly as typists. She bought me some braces to wear when I’m sleeping, when it really hurts the most. When sleeping? Yup, my left forearm will go numb, I wake up and then have to wait to regain the feeling in it and I can return to sleep. Totally stinks. The braces have started working out when I sleep somewhat. More as it happens.
Besides the pain in my left forearm. Daylight Savings Time took its toll on my immune system as feared. Good old rain equals sore throats and congestion for me. One day I hope to outgrow the problems with my throat.
As expected, my alma mater, Marquette was knocked out in the first round of the NCAA’s big tournament, again. They were number eight in their bracket and were beaten soundly by number nine Michigan State. Oh well, no one from the NCAA will be coming to the house to rip up my diploma. I think Marquette being invited was pretty generous since they didn’t have a very impressive record from what little I saw in the papers and ESPN.
Lastly, I started up a different blog via blogspot for an idea I took from Lazz (who admitted to taking it from someone else). It’s mainly just posting song lyrics I really like because they reflect my current mood, personal history or the song is just that darned good.
More will follow as I dig out of the hole of e-mail, news and the general funk I feel when I’m sick.
