I heard back about the copyediting test I took a few weeks ago: they have one specific thing they want me to pay more attention to, but are overall satisfied and want to start sending me work. I told my contact I am available most of next week [specific dates] and then again starting on the 29th. I may do some stuff for ACM while ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle is visiting, but I am significantly more familiar with that work, even though the latest task is "proofread a Microsoft Word file against a PDF to make sure no errors crept in during the PDF-to-Word conversion." (That was one of today's tasks; I did some proofreading for them yesterday as well.
Sandra Bond (WINOLJ/DW) is in the area for a few days before the Worldcon, and came over this afternoon for a few hours of hanging out with me,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude, and our cats. She, and Cattitude and I, are all going to the small pre-Worldcon convention Prologue this weekend, but we wanted to be sure we'd have some time together.
I had physical therapy this morning; shoulder and wrist stuff, since the ankle seems to be basically okay. I should probably ask Ian about strengthening exercises for that, when I go back in a couple of weeks, but I was thinking about the shoulder: for some reason, possibly to do with either carrying my suitcase on the trip to Montreal or having backed into the edge of a door this morning, it was bothering me even before we started. And then I tried increasing the resistance on the rowing, which seemed to have worked fine until I tried the next exercise. Also massaged(?) the base of my left thumb by pushing it down against a small hard ball, rolling it slowly over a table.
After Sandra left this evening, I went to the exercise room, but did only a few things, and nothing that involved the shoulder at all.
