Going back to physio

Went to see my physician today to get another referral and so it’s back to physio next week.

Slowly plodding through the book

Have read 4 chapters so far and completed review questions for 3 of them. Not very impressive, I guess, but it’s what I can do right now.

Failing, very badly.

My health is not in the gutter, or the sewer, but it is in the toilet.

Very, very, very discouraging as my goals have pretty much fizzled out for the time being.



eat more soup (read all 21 entries…)
Hot and sour soup...

...was might nice with fresh mushrooms and grated carrot.

But often I cheat with soup and use canned, frozen, and dried stuff: this soup had canned bamboo shoots and I used a powdered mix for seasoning.

Using Ta-da and family "Wall of Fame"

1. Just completed a checklist (Ta-da Lists with Prism) for reading the chapters and completing the review questions.

2. Family “Wall of Fame” is to motivate my daughter to get good grades in 1st grade, but wife agreed to let me use it too with this goal so she knows Daddy is committed too.



Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful. (read all 73 entries…)
School starting, housework, goals

1. My daughter started 1st grade today
1a. Because she was at school, my wife and I were able to catch up on a little housework
2. Delicious hot and sour soup with fresh mushrooms
3. Back pain relief from an icy cold pool this evening
3a. My son had a great time during said trip to the pool
4. Using the new treadmill again at the exercise room in our apt. complex
5. Our family “Wall of Fame”, done up to motivate my daughter to get good grades, has also inspired me to complete my A+ Certification goal as far as studying the book. Cimmy agreed to help me and put my achievements up to also motivate our daughter.

Ta-da and the A+ Certification goal

I drew up a checklist including all the chapters I need to read and the review questions for each.

Still going well.

Joe’s Goals is still helping me meet those basic fitness goals.

Probably going about this the wrong way...

I have yet to put anything on a blank webpage. Right now, I am posting exercises to a blog at my main site, which is boring as hell.

I know a lot of Linux webauthors like gedit, but I think I’ll take a look at Screem and open a free webpage somewhere to start playing with that.

openSUSE LiveCD works...

...which was a shock, because I could never get an Ubuntu LiveCD working at all.

I decided to look at the KDE interface with openSUSE instead of GNOME, which I use with Ubuntu. Interesting. I could not get sound to work whatsoever, however. That’s not a good thing. Granted, I will need to install it to play a little more with it, but… so far, not a good sign.

Looking at openSUSE 11

Can’t seem to get the .iso burned, however. If possible, I’d really like to use a LiveCD first before totally wiping everything again. Or to get another hard drive.

Troubleshooting

For now, it’s pretty much more of the same- diagnose systems online.

I don't get out much.

I don’t think things have been going well.

Nothing online helps very much; many Spanish-speakers are incredibly lackadaisical about punctuation and many are using chatspeak abbreviations. Many do not understand when I say “that makes it difficult for me to understand” or are reluctant and resistant to change to help me in that regard.

I do not see our neighbors often enough to really practice, either.

Falling down

A persistent back injury is making it very difficult for me to reach this goal, and things have ground to a near halt.

Re: Cortisone injections, round #3

No consultation this time; it’s straight to the procedure, Aug 29th at 10:30 A.M. PST

Pain has sapped any motivation to exercise much.

Ubuntu -> Debian

Because Ubuntu is a Debian build, if at first things don’t succeed, I reference it as far as Debian.

Ta-da lists and HTML

I am using Ta-da Lists for checklists to meet this goal.

43 Things with Ta-da Lists and Joe's Goals

I have mentioned elsewhere how these sites provide “third-party” functionality to 43 Things until checklists, sub-goals, etc. are implemented.

It is good to see that others are thinking outside of the box, so to speak.

These sites have become very useful to me when I made them desktop web applications with Prism.

It does not end, but continues

Marking this as “done” for right now as I am tracking with the other goal.

Cortisone injections, round #3

And so I wait for another appointment to discuss this with the doc and/or the ANRP.
