Two+ Weeks on a Squishy Laptop = Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Yep, it is true.  For the first time in 15 years, I am experiencing the joys of carpal tunnel syndrome.  I have since returned to my "natural" keyboard and hope that the pain subsides soon.  I need to look up the exercises that will help offset it.

Yesterday, I worked on the winery case and got my printer set up.  Alan helped with the printer issue.  As for the winery case, I spent some time looking up VRIO analysis and learned that if I hand over my credit card number, I can get lots of information.  No thanks.  In editing the document, I actually pulled "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" off my bookcase to look up the proper placement of an apostrophe.  Anyway, I got it to Sean last night.

This morning, I took Jennifer to gymnastics.  (Nicole had soccer in the summer and Jennifer didn't want to do it, so this is Jennifer's activity.)  I edited the file I had sent last night while sitting at the parents' picnic table and watching Jennifer.  When we got home, I reposted the document for Sean with my minor changes.  Then I took the girls to swimming lessons.  I read some of the Sakhalin case while they were diving and doing laps.  It's a good thing that I did.  (I did the  "indexing" that Doug taught us during our first week of Opening Session.)  After swimming, I made a batch of chocolate chip pancakes, went for a bike ride with the girls, and then headed downtown to join Sean and Dean.  Dean was having trouble getting started on the Sakhalin case.  None of the research we did led to any conclusions that would be in line with the questions for the case study.  Once I figured out what his problem was, I referenced my indexing to give him ideas.

Alan made a great pork roast dinner with baby potatoes, carrots and asparagus.  And gravy.  I was very happy to make it home for it.  Totally yummy!

And ever since, I have been in limbo waiting for someone to give me something to do.  Either read the winery case after Sean has made his edits or give Dean more ideas.  Oh well.  I whipped up some chocolate cupcakes and watched some TV with the kids.
