Finally off to the doctor’s…

…I was going to set up an appointment for Tuesday, but then family members started getting sick. My wife’s home with a cold now, in fact: which, paradoxically, means that I can more easily go to my appointment because if the kids get sent home again she can walk over and go get them. It’s really, really convenient to have the school within easy walking distance; I’m going to miss that feature when the kids hit middle school.

So, anyway, hopefully they’ll pound me on the shoulder with a mallet or give me a shot of fixyourbackinol or whatever it is that TL8 medicine does for this sort of thing.  Or they’ll just tell me that it’s arthritis so sucks to you, Frisby. I’m quite keen to find out.
