Productive Monday

[redbird]

After not doing a lot on the weekend, I have had a diligent and productive day.

The weekend thing was partly because one of my freelance clients emailed me with an assignment I wasn't sure of: the cover note said it was 9 pages, the downloaded file is 33. I queried on Friday, rather than spend a lot of time on the wrong file (which I might not have been paid for), and didn't get the "yes, it's that one" until this morning. They sent a PDF, to be edited by using the comment feature, so I have to do it in relatively chunks, with breaks, for the sake of my hand and shoulder.

I have also done All the Exercises, even the psoas stretch I only get around to rarely.

Yesterday, we went for a walk to get some exercise (I deliberately picked some steep blocks to walk along), and I made matzo balls to go in the homemade soup cattitude made. There was enough left for lunch today, with some raw carrots and then a bit of leftover pickled herring. The foods of my people.

I have yet to find a word-based computer game that will accept psoas, which I think is a perfectly usual word.

I had to look it up when my personal trainer first showed me those stretches, but it's a word I use more than many of the obscurities of Scrabble—or crosswords, which have oddities I have never seen elsewhere, like "ade" as in "lemonade" as a word on its own.
