The New Year
[Grant Park Pylon (ca. 1920) Edward H. Bennett, architect /Image & Artwork: designslinger]
Its' a new year. And given the past few weeks, 2012 will have to encompass a new daily routine, along with renewed attention to the bad behavior that helps contribute to severe arm injuries. The ouch! is much improved, but things still aren't back to normal - so there may be a new normal.
Ouch or no ouch, we're coming back to regularly scheduled blogging - just with fewer days than last year. We'll be publishing three times a week from now on: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And although we're cutting back a bit from the pre-injury five day routine, we hope you will still find the pics and stories interesting and entertaining enough to keep coming back for more.
Also want to say thanks for your patience while we've taken a break - especially to all of you out there who subscribe - and we'll see everyone back here on Wednesday.
Happy New Year!
My sympathies. Hope it clears up soon. Perhaps the adaptive left hand behavior will be good stimulation for the mind. I have a young friend who is studying architecture. It seems bragging rights come with punishing oneself physically, including serious sleep deprivation. I can't help but wonder how such behavior affects creativity and productivity as a student. I'm also curious how professional architects, as a group, are doing physically. Are back and arm problems common? Was it worse in paper and pencil days? What can be done? No need to reply until you are able to type comfortably. Take care of yourself. When you resurface, it will be a pleasant surprise, well worth the wait.
Having sat a drawing board for years, I can tell you from personal experience that you have to be careful, and mindful of reptetive stress injuires. Sitting to a computer seems worse. Users beware!!
Yay! Glad to have you back, whatever the number of days.
Thanks! It's good to be back!
Happy New Year! Take care of that injury ... and we look forward to a grand 2012 from you ;)
2012 will be a year of repetitive stress awareness!!
So glad that you are feeling well enough to blog again. I've missed your posts. Best wishes to you for a happy and healthier new year.
