Homeschooling Only One

Friday, November 4, 2005 - Trying to get back in the saddle again!! LOL

3-4 weeks ago, I chopped a head of cabbage... Evidently, I'm not used to that repetitive motion, and my right wrist has really given me problems. It was seemingly on the mend this past weekend, but was excruciatingly painful Tuesday of this week. It has gotten better all week. (Glad I have a wrist brace! It's not really carpal tunnel, since that's on the "inside" of the wrist, thumb and up the wrist; whereas this is the "outside" of the wrist with pain up into the middle & ring fingers thru the wrist and up a bit... ) Anyway, it's better and I'm exceedly thankful for that!

 

Before I get my day going, thought I'd update the blog and give you all something I picked up via an email.
