I donāt know about supposed to, but that would make sense. Have you tried any other stretching since?
Just make sure whatever stretches you do are symmetrical.

Iāve tried them a few times, to similar effect. It appears that theyāre exacerbating the issue at the moment. (Dammit!)
I have a doctorās appt later today (though itās one of the dodgier ones). So weāll see.

Hoping for friendly winds. Is the area evacuated?

Yes. One thing I can say about my career is I am always willing to try something new. Thatās how I ended up as a designer in the first place.
Yes. A few years ago I foolishly left NY to live a quieter life in a large, Mid-Western city with a reputation for having plentiful design jobs. The reality is much digferent. For the past couple of years Iāve been trying to return. Thatās why it costs so much to go on interviews.
Absoluuely.
Go to make a move to town thatās right for me.

Sounds like you are doing the right things and keeping an open mind. I hope you connect with a good gig soon.

I feel too stupid to live.
I searched around for my phone, which had been missing, for a month. I thought maybe itād been stolen, as I did put it in my glove compartment at one point, and when I entered my car after groceries shopping at the supermarket I could smell stale cigarette smoke (none of us smokes). So two days ago we bought a new phone for me.
Last night I went a little nutty wondering where my fountain pen was. Itās not my fave pen, nor most expensive, nor superlative anything. I have ten pens. So I offer today a reward to people to help find my phone. My kid runs to the car at my trifle suggestion, feels around, and findsā¦ the original phone. The spouse and I are sputtering, because weāve each felt THREE TIMES EACH a week in the obvious places (under the seat, glove compartments) at least inside the car for the fershlugginer phone.
Iāve felt four times for the fountain pen in my purse, which has three zip up compartments, and about three pencils and a ball-point. Iām OCD about writing implements, okay? And my spouse goes into my purse and pulls out the fountain pen.
āI felt around four times for that!ā
āDid you look, though?ā
āNo!ā
āWell, I did.ā
I still feel too stupid to live. Whatās it like to not feel like a useless, misunderstood, visually impaired idiot?

yeah. Though she left before the evacuation order (when all there was to complain about was distant smoke), so her cat Chloe is whereabouts unknown. Weāre hoping that the neighbor took her to a shelter.

Now you have a spare phone, so when something actually does happen to the other one (or even if it gets lost again), you have a spare to switch to with nary a glitch. You just gained preparedness and flexibility ahead of need, thatās all.
Did I mention that I once found a lost Palm Pilot in the bottom of a suit carrier hung behind the bedroom door years after ālosingā it?
(Alternate lesson: Your kidās searching abilities are worth the finderās fees 
)

I had one, but not intentionally. I lost my phone while at the gym on a Friday, and reported it stolen. Then, Monday morning, I heard my phone alarm ring. The phone had fallen into some sooper seekrit pocket of my gym bag that I didnāt know existed. By that time, I had reported the phone stolen and the replacement was on its way.

I used Googleās Find My Phone for my Android. It didnāt work and maybe the battery being dead had something to do with that. I didnāt miss the robocall scammers, but I noticed some calls from senior citizen relatives and I felt dismay over that.

Check Google Maps. It tracks your physical location with you phone

I am the other side of this - in our house I am known as the Finder of Things. I donāt know how I do it but if Mrs S loses something I will invariably find it for her.
