bits and pieces of stuff

I don't think the PT is helping the shoulder. All it's doing is making me skip breakfast and be late for work twice a week. I had PT this morning and then tweaked the damn thing again trying not to fall up the stairs getting to work.

The therapist I saw today wasn't my usual one, because I don't usually go on Tuesdays. He says I'm supposed to work up to 100 reps of each of my exercises, and added two new exercises. I stop having PT appointments after next week, and right now I'm at 45 reps of each exercise. I think he's under the impression I'm going to have PT appointments for another month at least, which I'm not. I'm done after next week.

However, the weekend was lovely. I went to Noank and spent most of two days hanging around, and learned some things, and inhaled a couple of books. One was called Scottsboro and was a fictionalized account of the trials of the Scottsboro boys. The story was told mostly from the perspective of a fictional female character who wasn't written for the period she was supposed to be living in.

The other book I inhaled was No Country for Old Men. I don't think I'd read it again since I didn't like it much as a novel, but I can see how they'd make a movie out of it (and now I want to see the movie).

I should have spent most of yesterday outdoors, but if I'd done that, I wouldn't have gotten the sheets washed, the rugs vacuumed or the fridge cleaned out. All of those things needed to be done, preferably last week.

I meant to do some writing this weekend, but left my notebook here on Friday and didn't get to it yesterday. Oh well.

Since I also didn't get around to going to the movies yesterday, that's on the list for this week sometime. The question is, Iron Man or Indiana Jones or both?
