did dishes filled out forms in the morning.

breakfast

banana
oj
kambucha

got to the office at about 8:45 for a 9:00 am appt. busy office. seems really well run. dr. garretson seemed like a good guy. he said that my left shoulder appears to be working on being a problem as well. he thinks right shoulder is a combination of things but boils down to outer muscles (deltoids) overwhelming smaller inner muscles and pulling the socket a little out and causing irrations to the tendons, bursa, etc. he gave me a cortisone shot and a prescription for physical therapy.

cortisone helped almost immediately. whole right arm feels better.

got out at around 10:00

breakfast

bacon, egg, cheese biscuit
sausage burrito
dr. pepper

good biscuit, bad burrito

left the office at about 7:15. suddenly felt tired and a bit feverish on the way to the metro. remembered to get off the metro at ballston.

dinner

japanese pan noodles with tofu
caesar salad (side)
iced tea

i usually have this with steak but i think i liked tofu better. i think they give you more tofu. if nothing else they give you more tofu.

i got on i-66 a little before 9:00 and got home by about 9:35. it was almost exactly 45 minutes. it usually takes me  longer than that to get home from vienna so it was a pleasant surprise.

karma is sick again.

elizabeth went to bed about 10:00. i did dishes and watch big bang and john stewart. bed about 11:30.
