Hobbit-ish Potpurri: All Thumbs

Hey Humble Readers...

I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.  Here on the flatland, things are sloppy and slushy.  We had a big dump of snow last weekend, and now it's melting like mad.  We can't park in our building's lot because it's off the back lane, and the lane is a swamp at the moment.  But hopefully tomorrow's unseasonally high temps will help dry things up a bit (who am I kidding???).

My chiropractor is a genius.  My back has actually been feeling pretty good this week, no major issues.  But, as I mentioned in yesterday's weekly update... I think I might have tendonitis in my thumbs.  Seriously, you don't know how much you use your thumbs until they are killer sore.  I mentioned my sore thumbs at my appointment today, and he managed to not only adjust them, but I was actually feeling a lot better.  They are starting to ache a little right now, but I'm hopeful that with continued adjustments they won't get any worse.

I used my body pillow for the first time this pregnancy last night.  I used it a lot last time because my back and hips were so sore from being on my feet all day at work.  I have to say, I had quite possibly the best night's sleep I've had in months.  Most nights, even good nights, I end up tossing and turning quite a bit, but last night, I didn't move one iota.  I woke up in the exact same position as when I fell asleep.  It was great!  The only drawback was that my one arm was completely asleep, from my fingertips to my shoulder from sleeping on it.

Ginny managed to break a couple of the locks we had on the lower kitchen cupboards.  When we bought replacements, we bought a different style of lock... that proved absolutely impossible for both my Beloved and I to figure out.  Seriously, we could get it on the cupboard knobs, but we couldn't get back into the cupboard without much foul language and pain in our fingertips from trying to get the stupid thing to slide.  Needless to say, when I finally got the stupid thing unlocked, the contraption went straight into the garbage.  Now I'm playing a fake out game with Ginny... every day I switch one of the remaining locks we have back and forth between the tupperware cupboard and the pots/pans cupboard.

It's been a year since my Beloved went to audition for Jeopardy.  We're trying not to give up hope that he will get called to be a contestant, but time is running out.  Although, with our luck, he'll get the call and be expected down there in May.  Whatever happens, I think we'll both be doing the online test next year.
