The post title refers to two very recent separate issues for which I can only exclaim in utter resignation: "Oh not again?!"
First was another bout of gout. Like the last flare up that I remember, it started in the ankle (Huh? Ya, I know, weird!) and eventually migrated to the more traditional toe area but not before it caused my knee to become compromised due to my gait being all a-whack.
This great inconvenience caused me to use 3 days (non-consecutive) of sick time PTO. Harrumph! I hate using PTO as sick time when I really am sick. Better used for "sanity days".
After the past week and a half in pain and discomfort, I'm finally getting back to normal, albeit a bit of ache remaining in the osteoarthritic right knee.
The second "not again" is the fact that less than an hour ago I went ahead and bought yet another computer! A laptop to replace this Toshiba I'm using at work right now.
Let's face it, computers are one of my more serious addictions. I need a 12-step program for computer-holics. I could see it now...I'd get up to the podium in front of the group and say "0111010111010100".
That's "Hi I'm Michael, and I'm a computer-holic." in binary.
I know. I know. I need help.
