Where I’ve Been
Well, it seems like I haven’t been spending much time on the interwebs these days. There’s several reasons for that. The foremost reason being: pain. A few months ago, I was involved in a project at work that had a really tight deadline and a bit of stress, too. I was at my computer, hunched over my keyboard, slamming out drawings as quickly as I could. Therefore, my body was pretty tense the whole time I was at work. Soon, because my keyboard and mouse were in a pretty bad position — as far as ergonomics is concerned — and because I was so tense all the time, my muscles started hurting really bad. My right forearm and shoulder and across my shoulderblades would ache ceaselessly. So, I started cutting back on my computer time, I got an adjustable keyboard tray at work, and I tried to be more relaxed as I worked. Every now and then, the pain starts coming back, and, as long as I’m careful, it usually subsides after a little bit. In the end, I haven’t been spending much time online when I’m away from work. So, I haven’t been posting much on this blog or my SolidWorks Conblogerate blog. I’m starting to feel better, though, so maybe I can get back to writing posts and stuff in my spare time.
In other news, the baby’s doing well. Faith went and had another ultrasound a couple weeks ago. You can see the baby’s arms and legs now. Oh, and please don’t ask if we know the sex yet, because we won’t find that out for another couple of months. It’s still really strange to think we’re going to have a baby, but it’s really exciting anyway.
I finally got a classical guitar, too. It sounds really nice. I can’t wait to start playing some more difficult songs, but I have to rein myself in and try to really learn the basic stuff first.
Anyway, that’s what’s up with me. I’ll try to be more interesting in the future.
