weekend update

[substitute]

I do not participate in Listmas nor do I like New Year's resolutions. Aren't you glad?

I had a lovely dinner with sooz tonight at Lakshmi and I am now full of chickpeas, spinach, rice, naan, daal, and assorted delicacies. A good two hours eating, talking, and agreeing about things!

Today's happy discovery is that the wretched shoulder pain can now be totally knocked out temporarily with a cold pack, so I will be able to get to sleep at night. Before I tried this again my options were Aleve (didn't work), Vicodin (made me ill), and insomnia (blows). Whew!

I plan to spend New Year's eve at home, and toast the cat at midnight with some sham-pagne.

My doctor gave me celebrex. I am afraid to take it though since he said it is the equivalent of 16 aleve. That seems a little overkill for my taste.

Celebrex didn't do much for me. I had better results with "Mobica"[sp?] in its generic form, meloxicam.

I may be at home on NY as well. Maybe I will do a drive by champagning.

Silly substitute. Everybody knows you don't toast cats with champagne. You use the broiler.

i'm going to ask a stupid question--have you tried professional massage for your shoulder? i had sciatica this year--not so bad that i couldn't walk, but i had to stop running, and it hurt all the time. i went to the dr.. got xrays (showed nothing), had physical therapy for 2 months, but it didn't get better. I got a massage and had immediate relief that lasted until i got my next massage, 2 weeks later. it may not completely resolve the problem like it did for me, but it might help a little.

When I come back, can you and sooz and I please go to Lakshmi? I would like that.

Ditto. It has literally been years since I've been there.

Hey, that's my plan too.

Only I'll be toating my cat, not your's.

:)

Happy New Year

Or mabe I'll toast her.

Toating is really overrated.

"And agreeing about things!"

Happy new year.
