I am mighty

I copyedited two manuscripts today, and have sent them both off to their authors for approval and the answering of queries about references. [These are magazine articles, not full-length books.] After doing that and a break for Scrabble, I have updated my resume. (Next is a cover letter for a possible job at the zoo; I also need to take the resume with me, and/or email it to myself, to show people at the current employer who might have openings in their departments.) Update: I have emailed the resume to my office. I am not going to push myself on that cover letter, and will try not to fret about it. I have three wonderful sweeties, and some other wonderful friends, who remind me not to push myself too hard, and not to be too hard on myself, and sometimes I even manage this.

I cooked us lunch (oatmeal, which is easy, but tasty and nourishing). I have washed knives, wooden spoons, and a couple of skewers, none of which can go in the dishwasher.

I've done my stretches twice today. I'm sure some of the 30% for whom physical therapy doesn't do the job are just unlucky and have more difficult or serious rotator cuff problems, but I suspect that some are because it's difficult, mentally, to do all this stuff every day, even if you have the time and space.

A phone call

My beloved adrian_turtle called tonight. We were screening calls--I wasn't in a mood to talk to many people--but I grabbed it as soon as I heard her voice on the machine. She's in Montreal visiting papersky, rysmiel, and zorinth, who have managed to wear her out touristing with Rysmiel's uncle and aunt. We caught each other up a little, and talked about New Orleans, Katrina, and the horrible things connected to that. It wasn't a cheerful conversation, but I'm glad to have talked to her.

I'm going to try to find a weekend soon that we can see each other; cattitude is more optimistic about the logistics of this than Adrian is.
