  * set (live) mouse traps in BR closet, LR near sewing machine
  * buy: 32x34 pads -- need at least 2 more
  * buy: coffee
  * buy: pantsu.  
  * 15min:  took Kat's old HP printer up to attic from "sewing" room
  & buy: (Showcase) Manhasset music stand desk.  Very light, thin metal.  Fits
    easily in the Travelpro; would need cutting down for Chami, but we have
    another solution for that.  Odd-size tube with no threads; can deal.
  * 15min: Antec SATA rack now in Dorsai.  Probably wants Trantor's MB. 
  * headache back; all day.  Wonder whether it takes a couple of days on
    methocarbamol to build up to something effective.
  * CVS -> git on /share/Web/Public

  ~ places.to/Steve_Savitzky isn't redirecting -> is now.
    Verify that Steve_Savitzky and Tres_Gique are redirecting; delete.
  * 15min:  puttering in office.  Moving boxes out of the way.
  @ What I have is actually a Manhasset MH-53 Table Top Stand Now the plain tube makes sense!
    (A little crimping with vice grips made it a good fit for a quick-connect,
    so all is good.)

So, once again, I have managed to overlook a day's worth of notes and end up having to post them out of sequence. This doesn't bother me too much, but it bothers me.

Fortunately, my Hiroshima Day post was done separately. That may have been what threw off my reckoning, actually.

My headache, etc., came back, leading me to speculate that it takes a couple of days for the methocarbomol and naproxen to build up a sufficient concentration. My doctor confirmed it this afternoon, diagnosing it as a trapezius muscle strain. Did I mention that it hurts?

I also bought what turned out to be a Manhasset table top music stand. Very light weight. With a minor application of vice grips, it attaches nicely to a mic stand quick-connect... and fits nicely in my checked suitcase.

I did quite a lot of puttering, of various sorts.

A pretty good day, actually. Links up in the notes, as usual.

Oh, I'm so sorry about the trapezius strain. They HURT. (My right one is continually strained but some days worse than others, because it is trying to do the work of the non-existent latissimus on that side.) My experience with pains like that is that I need to keep a pretty constant blood level of the meds, taking them regularly as prescribed. Which I'm not fond of, and rarely do, with the result that, of course, my shoulder, neck, TMJ and head hurt. Duh, eh? Has anyone suggested PT to strengthen up the surrounding supporting musculature? It could help a lot.

I wish you speedy feeling better! and hope it passes soon.

I'm talking to a PT on Tuesday.

Yes, taking the meds regularly helps a lot. Since I already take a huge pile of meds and supplements, adding a couple more doesn't bother me too much, though I prefer not to overdo them.
