Well, been on the pills since friday, and there seems to be some effect, though I'm not sure how much of it is down to them, how much is the placebo effect, how much is due to getting more sleep, eating better and how much of it is because of just being able to talk about things more. Whatever, I'm still feeling a bit better and have a bit more energy about me, which can only be good. Spoke to my boss yesterday about my job, and ended up just having a bit of a blether in general, but ...
Monday begins with a hot shower followed by the usual knee and elbow and then shoulder exercises (3 lb. weights added). I'm sitting at the keyboard with a bag of peas on my shoulder and I'm icing my elbow (except, obviously, not while typing). I noted during knee exercises that the swelling is almost gone. Hurrah! This verifies what I suspected... fencing doesn't bother it as much as sitting for long periods of time and/or using weight equipment at the gym. Maybe I should ice ...

Warning Ill-tempered rant followed by mystical nonsense (For those of you who can read this--it is still a work in progress--I'm trying to figure out what I'm really trying to say in the tempo section.) There was a fire outside the fencing hall Friday night, and the hall was still filled with fumes yesterday, so I didn't get a lesson from Istvan. So instead of providing a lesson, I'm going to muse a bit about what I think about sabre. ...
I went to the local Turkey Shoot and it was a disaster as far as results are concerned. I really, really, wish I'd gone to the Louisville event instead, but then I had the problem of transportation and the Spousal Unit's anticipated arrival at the NEW, NEVER VISITED BEFORE airport. [I dropped him off at the old one and now I get to pick him up at the new one with no idea where anything is located.] Blah! There were 17 of us fencing at the new Bladepoint location. The new facility ...
