I will taper off cacao completely within three days and go for a month or so without any! gasp! and we'll see if that makes any difference in the ache/pain in my upper back and shoulders. Any at all. ? Going to midstate orthopedic this morning, imaging. Will they say anything of help after that? Arthritis, rheumatism, age? Curious to see.
Call from Barbara G last night! As a child of the nuns in Panama she would walk down the street praying to her guardian angel to please make sure she would not get a call to have a vocation. She was terrified of the nuns and could think of nothing worse than to be called to join them! She's reading a new bio of the new pope and is scandalized by various details. One that he seems to have spent more time in Rome than in Peru, and certainly spent very little time in Chicago once he left there. She wanted to know when I knew I wanted to join (was it when I was 9 like the pope?) and how did I know I wanted to leave. Bela said after the call I thought you had a mental breakdown? Yes, I said, but I didn't want to go into any of that with her. She has never been much of a grasper of ambiguities and nuances, symbols or signs. The financial accountant. Shocked that pope francis left his personal fortune to his poor sister in Argentina.
Strange phone conversation. Better to explore the contradictions of the papacy then to talk about the delusions around their beloved prexy.
Heusers throwing a victory party on Thursday. at Walter's Nice touch!!
Today ortho Katrina, tomorrow massage Boris. Bela convinced me to book it after I told her I was not interested. But it matches going to two, not one, but two, chiropractors.
that was very impressive, the visit to midstate. took images, then within 15 mins Katrina F came in and showed me the images and explained that indeed something has happened recently at the base of my neck-spine and my head is foreward more than it used to be, should? be. Using this laptop clearly a factor. She agreed that lifting the wheelchairs also clear new factor. So why are you not standing the use this at the piano level? Just as the tech there in imaging stands the whole time? Now I am standing and yet there is not enough difference. Clearly I have to start using Va's big screen on her desk which Does make us look Up. We will have to schedule our times on it. now the big square pillow is on the piano and that is better than ever. keyboard now up but head still tilted down to look at screen. we need a second separate screen and keyboard combo or a screen up on the ceiling. . . . could also take out lots of foolish screen viewing just for entertainment. hook keyboard up to the tv ?
other ways short screen time work followed by stretches and moves to counter this posture

this morning the genius move to put a large pillow on my lap; still looking down however; not the solution after all.
deja vu again; sense that I took a look at Delany's novel ages ago; made it to page 48 and you say ok, I get it, now what's the point in going on? let's use AI instead of readers digest:
ai would not answer but reddit threw up comments that commentify as predicted: "
I finished it purely because of my stubbornness about finishing every book I start, especially if it's one I've paid for. What an unpleasant slog it was. It's a pretty underwhelming ending, but it's pretty much inevitable that Hogg would get away with everything and that the Kid would end up going along with him even if he'd rather be elsewhere. I found Hogg a lot harder to get through than 120 Days of Sodom, and that's saying something. "
