cookie monster wants all cookies
Friday, October 19th, 2018 12:04 amThis is the first page I've seen whose cookie banner notice gives you the option to either accept or decline having cookies be set, instead of a useless message like "by continuing to use this site, you agree to the use of cookies":

I was so pleasantly surprised by that, that I wanted to post about it. Even though either way, these banners still seem quite useless. They've just become that annoying thing which no one probably even bothers to read before clicking to get rid of it.

Today was the first Autumn day cool enough for me to wear an undershirt and a light jacket. Walking into my house this evening, my reaction was "ah, it's nice and warm in here" (@76 degrees) rather than "whew, it's warm and stuffy in here. Should I open the windows or turn on the A/C?" (@82+ degrees the last few weeks).

The repaving of the road is complete.

2 weeks ago, I decided to try forcing my left hand into a fist. I hadn't been able to do so since early May - bending the fingers inward always resulted in pain, of the sort which tells me that continuing to do what I'm doing will cause physical damage. But as the hand hadn't gotten better on its own in all that time, I decided to just try anyway. Based on the blood tests and x-rays that were done, there are no signs of arthritis. So maybe it is carpal tunnel, or some other nerve issue. Ignoring the pain, I managed to bend the middle finger in all the way. Over the next few days, I managed to also bend the pointer finger in. Since then, I've been able to make a real fist again with my left hand. Though still not without pain and stiffness. It also still gets worse during the night for both hands.
I've been eating gluten free, uninterrupted as far as I know, for the last 2 months. It didn't seem to help the problem with my hands, although considering that I was finally able to make a fist, who can say? As to my digestive issues, the results have been inconclusive. It seems better than before, but there are still bad days. I'm thinking about slowly adding some wheat back into my diet to see what happens.
