For a moment I thought Hans meant to fry the crows.

Bahaha that might be good actually.

This morning, I was showered, had my teeth brushed, had clean clothes picked out (that matched, even, or at least what I think matches; who knows), was clean-shaven, deodorized, and everything else this morning. It's hard to overstate how unusual this is for me. I probably even look good! And there's no particular reason why either: I don't have a date or anything, or someone I'm trying to impress (besides "everyone", I guess), and while it's a busy day, it's not unusually so. if anything I should be (more of a) a mess today, because I had to stay up so late working. But instead, I have all of this stuff that I don't ordinarily have (not all at once, anyway).

It's strange. I almost put this in wtf, but I figured it might be more appropriate here (I'm never in this thread; I tend to think everyone on this forum is miserable, but its no wonder if I'm never where the happiness happens ).

The way you're phrasing it makes it sound like someone else doing all these things for you; showering you, shaving you, etcetera. So either it's an uncommon form of past tense, or you have an extremely strong and versatile servant and they deserve some praise.

[Haspen]

That's why he is so happy - he's got a servant to pamper him

I also had a pretty good day today. Got to be very friendly and social at work today (despite that my job consists of me being trapped in a room by myself), got to get a good workout at the gym punching the heavy bag until I was sweaty and worn out, and I decided to stop crying into my baby diaper and get back to playing online Mahjong (that I complained about in the slightly sad thread) and got some good games in. I ranked up to 9 kyuu as well; and google informs me that kyuu is just Japanese for 9, so I ranked up to 9-9. I'm sure that that's the lowest rank possible, but hey, I ranked up to it.

After a lengthy wait, I found out my kid's wrist fracture is basically the best kind of fracture and everything is going to be fine.

[Egan_BW]

The best kind? Does your kid have wrist-related superpowers now?

[Dunamisdeos]

It is a time fracture, and will allow him to slow time in his immediate vicinity when threatened. There is also the theoretical possibility of a catastrophic rupture in reality itself, but if that happens we won't really have to worry about it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's actually a "buckle" where the bone is damaged but not really broken. Heals quickly, only needs a splint.

[JoshuaFH]

I'm no expert on child neuroscience, but is it possible that having one hand immobile will give him a more practice with the other hand, and therefore a likelier chance of handedness in that hand? That's probably not how it works.

[Dunamisdeos]

That actually is a possibility, but I believe he is old enough that his dominant hand is likely set. However that's the broke one, so who knows.

The ever-reliable WebMD states it can take as little as two weeks for your brain to officially adapt.

Just.... from personal experience, don't caress your opponent while you have them pinned down. They don't like that.

I have weird stretchy joints that made martial arts instructors uncomfortable, because they could do holds on me that were supposed to be painful but i was like nope doesn't hurt and it worried them. But then after a while they were like ha ha ok Duna come over here so everyone can see how this works for realsies.

Today i went shopping and found insoles for my shoes that seem to help a little with the pain i have in the ball of my foot after work, and new sweat pants and tee shirts. There was also pullsed pork sandwiches for lunch from a local restaurant which was awesome.

Building muscle helps to improve stability and helps against being weaker generally because their joints don't lock in the strongest position. I think stretching is actually not recommended for people with hypermobility. Joint locks are probably definitely not a good idea.
