Maya ventured to the North country where she enjoyed skiing with friends despite her injured shoulder. MRI scans have since confirmed that she has a SLAP tear and torn rotator cuff. Her doctor has suggested an ultrasound-guided steroid injection at the tear to help her manage the discomfort. Unfortunately, such injuries do not heel with time and she will likely require surgery at some point in the future.

On the home front, Kyle and I completed the wiring for his basement renovation. All the lighting and all but 3 outlets worked as expected. It took a while to figure out that the drywallers had covered an outlet box leaving the following section of that circuit disconnected. We excavated the wall, found the box, and completed the installation of an outlet at that location. Presto, all remaining outlets became energized. On a less positive note, we discovered that the flooring installers had done a very poor job of leveling the concrete leaving behind several dips and high spots. With half the flooring already placed, it will be quite a lot more work to now remove it and address the hills and valleys.
