I'd just like to note that I like my ISP. Over the weekend, I couldn't upload email from my PC to the ISP's server. Download, yes. Monday morning, I logged into the Web mail program and sent a message to "staff," describing the problem. An hour or two later I had an answer, explaining it as a known problem for people using Verizon DSL lines, and including the solution, in both Mac and PC versions. I suspect there are ISPs that would have looked at it and just said "We don't support Eudora*," rather than telling me that that Verizon had blocked port 25 and here was what I needed to do in my Eudora directory so I could specify the port for outgoing email. Shortly after I sent a thank you, I got a second message, from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
porcinea, saying that while the workaround the first person had given me would work, a different port was more likely to remain good indefinitely.
Today, I went to the gym after work. I was trying to be gentle to my right shoulder. This goes along with being diligent about all the rotator cuff exercises through Sunday (which will make about ten days) and seeing if that helps sufficiently that I decide I don't need to see my GP about this. (I might call her anyway, for a general check-up and a tetanus booster.)
Cardio, 13 minutes, top heart rate 150
Leg press, 320 pounds, 3 sets of 15, the first sitting further from the plate and thus easier; I hadn't meant to take the weight up again so soon, but the slots for 280 and 300 pounds were both partly blocked, and I didn't want to go down to 275 if I could avoid it.
Chest press, 50 pounds, 12
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 17
Balance ~fly, 50 pounds, 15 with each leg forward; 40 pounds, 15 each
Cross-body pull, 35 pounds, 15 with right hand
Crunches, 2 sets of 30
Back arches, 17
Tree, 5 sets of {3 on each leg}
Balance squats, 2 sets of 15
Biceps curls, 7.5 pounds each hand, 20, 5; left arm only, 15
Hip adduction, 100 pounds, 13, 10
Hip abduction, 75 pounds, 7 (I suspect I also ought to get the left hip looked at, given that I keep having to stop this exercise quickly because of pain there)
*The vendor no longer supports Eudora, so it wouldn't be absurd or even especially unreasonable for an ISP not to, and to have just said "they're blocking port 25, use nnn instead" without telling me how to do that in Eudora. But this is Panix, my $HOME away from home, which doesn't like to tell people that their hardware or software is out of date when it can help solve a problem instead.
