I’m inconsolable at the moment, as it seems most of the third party apps on my iPhone 4 have stopped working or, at least, they’re not opening and I don’t know why. I mean come on …

I’m especially bummed because I can’t access my faithful app, Pocket Money, which I use to keep track of day to day expenditure. It’s so frustrating. It worked perfectly last weekend and now?

Any suggestions anyone?

Started watching the first season of Acapulco on Apple TV last night , well, binge watching actually. And, have to ask myself, why didn’t I start watching this one earlier?

It’s laugh out loud funny!

birthday afternoon tea at the Chateau Frintenac, Quebec City

I guess I should have realised last night that this morning was going to be difficult in that, after doing an hour at physio and then, coming home and cramming in several sets of exercises, that I was going to wake this morning like a stiff on the proverbial mortuary table.

It was like raising the dead … well, okay, maybe not that bad, but close enough.

Today, I’m going to be a lot more gentle on myself, and try not to cram in so many sets as if that will ‘cure’ me in an afternoon. I need to pace myself between now and next Tuesday. I don’t want to turn up for my next physio appt. worse off than where I started.

After all, I’m no spring chicken anymore but rather a spent hen past her egg laying days.

So for those of you following along, the first physio appointment went well. I was pulled, poked, prodded, measured and manipulated to the point my shoulder now actually moved and yes, while the muscles are complaining, it’s a good pain.

I now have a sheet listing a series of exercises I’m to complete through out the day, doing so many sets at each session. And have my next appointment on Tuesday to see how everything’s going. Plus I’m booked in for a massage session. Now I’m really looking forward to that, let me tell you.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go do my first posture and stretching exercises.

For those of you who have been wondering where I’ve been these last few days, I had another unscheduled ER visit on Thursday. And, not only have I been recovering from that, but I’ve also got a locked shoulder. I get to see the physio tomorrow for a consult about the locked shoulder. However, getting to see my family doctor about the unplanned for visit to the ER will have to wait till the middle of May, as he’s currently on holiday. Of course he is.

So here I am, typing this out one handed, wondering if the Guinness Book of Records has category for Medical Mysteries. No one seems to know what’s wrong with me, least of all me.

Where’s Dr. House when you need him?

FYI: For those of you who are following along. The micro.blog I created for my fiction called, The Story Hub, is now flying under a new banner, namely my own name. Check it out here: Alexandra Wolfe.

I’ll be posting more short stories now I’ve finally updated the url.

Awww … all over. It went darkish, but not completely dark. Then, that was it.

It came. We saw (sort of). It went.

That’s it here till 2044 when I will either be dead, or a living fossil.

And so … it has begun. The moon has moved into position and has begun it’s transit. An hour to go before full totality.

Just over an hour and a half to go till the eclipse starts it’s cycle here, in Quebec.
