Some Olympic bits and other news.... 

With "Lost" being on right in the middle of NBC's prime time coverage, my attention wandered tonight. But I did at least find out how two athletes from my home state did.

Jeremy Bloom, who did the moguls, made a few small errors during his final run and was outdone by skiers with more amazing air stunts and more consistent skiing. He still turned in a respectable sixth place. His teammate, Toby Dawson, turned in a great performance on the last run and took the bronze. Way cool.

Lindsey Kildow, to the surprise of many, turned up on the slopes after a crash during training that had landed her in the hospital. And even though she was still in great pain, she completed the downhill and came in an impressive eighth place. The French woman who had crashed on the same day also skied, bandages and all. She came in 28th.

Oh, and that doc appointment? That's actually TOMORROW morning. Going to the ENT for a checkup since I finished my allergy shots last month. I need to stay up for a little while, though, because I didn't eat my last meal until 10pm.

I have managed to finish editing all of my 2005 pix: the ones from my weekend vacation in October and the ones from Christmas Eve. I made prints of the good ones plus the pix my sister-in-law sent me of my neice and their trip to Washington, DC. Good thing I have a gift certificate to a scrapbooking store, because I'm gonna need another album to hold all those photos. Now if I could just get caught up on the actual scrapbooking. I'm still working on fall 2002.

Oh, and guess what I got for Valentine's Day? Another iTunes gift card! Yayyyyyyy! That should keep me out of the music stores for quite awhile, except for the Johnny Cash boxed set I have my eye on. That can probably wait until my birthday, though.

That massage I had so much looked forward to awhile back had to be cancelled as the lady went on maternity leave. They finally have a replacement, so I'm going in for an hour on Tuesday. I'm pretty much one giant trigger point from my mid back up to the base of my skull thanks to that damned FCE. I'm still taking muscle relaxants every day, still in considerable pain during aquacise, whenever I try to stretch and still can't use the Gazelle.

The Ativan, which I'm taking to replace Klonopin for the periodic limb movement disorder, appears to have very little effect on me. I think I'm going to end up back in the primary care doc's office. But first I'm going to do a little internet research to see if there is something else I can try that is relatively safe.

Soooo tired.
