This weekend, I went through the excellent Ansible Tutorial on Code Review Videos. I had gone through most of it in January, and this refresher helped me grok it more.

good lesson

Had a good lesson with 3 students this morning; they are working on their presentations, and progressing quite nicely! Right now we are just memorizing, but in the future I will show them how to speak 'off the cuff' about any topic.

nerve blister

You've probably hear of blood blisters. I have one on my thumb, a result of clipping some thick twigs with scissor-sized loppers a couple weeks ago. The skin of my thumb got caught between the handles as they thunked together and boom instant blood blister. Yay!

A couple days earlier I had done the same thing to my index finger. Scissor-sized loppers and oops blood blister on my finger!

Except there's a difference. Two weeks later, the one on my finger still hurts. The one on my thumb stopped hurting at least a week ago, and is just waiting for the skin to slough off.

The finger one has a slight lump under the skin and still hurts a little if I press on it. I'm calling it a nerve blister!

Just for fun, I'm at the clinic near our new house; I have some time available as my afternoon meeting was canceled and the clinic is right along the path between the station and our house.

I super doubt the doctor will suggest anything besides pain meds, which I will politely refuse... but I just wonder if there's anything to do with it besides wait. I wish I could talk to Dr Cutie!!

The recommended I go to a skin clinic, and gave me a map to the clinic. Synchronistic: I had just walked "randomly" down near the skin clinic, so I knew exactly where it was and how to get there.

Okay a weird thing happened the other day. A friend of a friend offered to let me use her crib for lessons, but she smokes so I don't really want to use the place. (I've been there before.) I told my friend my concern but asked friend not to tell her. Friend told her anyway and she got all pissed off and said nevermind, plus I hereby quit (lessons, not smoking).

Dang. I told friend not to say anything.
