The last week has been both good and bad. It was a good christmas with my sweetie-wife surprising me with a couple of gifts I did not expect her to pick-up for me. (HALO: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition & Ben-Hur 50th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray) I had good time with my sweetie-wife, friends and even squeezed in a decent movie on Christmas morning. (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. A good film but not a movie for you if you expect all your spy films to have lots of action, chases, and scantily clad babes.)

It’s been a bad week arthritis-wise. It started badly A week ago Monday and got progressively worse through the week. By the weekend my fingers hurt constantly and I could’t play the new video game I had received for Christmas. By Sunday night thanks to the weekly dosing of my meds, I was feeling better. However my fingers, stressed after a long hard day at work will not let me spend 90 minuets writing tonight. Which is a shame because I have finally figured out the plotting to my next short story, a story that is a commitment to my writer’s group project.
