All the shoveling has left my right hand cramped a bit. The first day I couldn’t even write a sentence. Or perhaps my penmanship is deteriorating because I don’t write much.

The roads were clearing yesterday but the city plows came and created a nice thin sheet of snow that froze up overnight. They probably decided to get most of the snow off the street because school was open today. I went out today and shoveled the ice, so the road would be more passable even for silly cars like mine. Good thing, too, because my Gleevec came in!

I’m going to see if I can get an appointment to see Dr. Brian Druker of Gleevec fame, though my insurance won’t pay for it. Boy, do I need a job. Everyone tells me I need a “second opinion” so I suppose I might as well go to the top of the food chain.

So I have a new geek toy, an iButton that I got to measure the room temperature in the wintertime. It looks like a big button battery, and you can tell it when to start logging temperatures. I think it’s made to stick into packages, to see if the packages get too hot or too cold. Anyway, I never sleep well in the wintertime and I wonder if the temperature is fluctuating because it gets too hot and too cold. I know this is a symptom of leukemia, but I’ve had this problem for a long time.

Well, the temperature isn’t fluctuating, is it?

The night before was about the same.

Well, time for more experiments.
