Random 5 Friday 06/28/13

Here is this week's installment of R5F, from Casa Monkeywrangler.

1.  Winter IS coming.

2.  Monkeyboy is off at his first Residence Camp with Scouts.  It also occurred on his birthday, so of course they made him wear a birthday cake hat!
The Birthday Boy!
 3.  The Overtime Fairy has graced our household dynamic this week, with DH probably making it into doubletime by EOB Saturday.  Woot!  We have not had OT for a couple years now.

4.  I probably will not make my goal of 500k cycling this month, but I will be closer than last month.  Had I managed more mid-week rides, or even more Monkey-rides, I think I would have made it.

5.  I seem to have developed a spot of tendonitis in my left elbow/forearm.  It's been hanging around a couple months now I think, and I am annoyed by it.  I am going to try some natural anti-inflammatory agents (turmeric) to see if it helps, along with some stretches and pressure point stimulation and massage.

    Thanks for stopping by today...I do hate bats when they're INSIDE my house! :) They're fine if they stay outside, eating mosquitoes! :)

    Turmeric is good and also arnica gel. Oh and if its really bad bromelain (which comes from pineapple) supplements really help.
