Got a cortisone shot on my right hand for the trigger finger. Apparently it takes two weeks to see any noticeable difference. I am hoping it really works after that coz i do not want to go down the surgery route. And if its a success and it improves my symptoms I will go back and do it for my left hand too!

These days I feel like I am living in the *The Namesake* life. My cousin whose wedding I missed sent us their wedding/reception video. I put it on TV for all of us to see and the kid couldn’t stop making snarky comments about the functions & rituals she was seeing on screen. At some pt I blew up and told her angrily that she is an Indian no matter what she thinks she is, and we as parents would appreciate it more if she tried to engage & understand those functions rather be a snark about it. To which of course my kid got upset and reacted angrily back that she was an American and nothing of this relates to her, and how it was all so stupid, and that she’d never be remotely Indian. Which of course made us even more angry and well it kept escalating to the point where she was asked to hit the sack for the night. Later at night we apologized to each other for our behavior and by morning all was forgotten. I couldn’t help thinking how *right* she was and yet also how *right* I fee I am. I am not ready to see my kid as something else, while my kid already feels she belongs somewhere else. Ugh.
One thing Apple has done well with Vision Pro pricing is people like me have no FOMO. Its so expensive that I don’t have any notion or thoughts of buying it anytime before it drops in price very very dramatically (I am talking sub 500-700 range). So yeah take all the time you want Apple and let the early adopters and rich people test it out for you before it becomes mainstream.
Well the “subscription” that we are paying for the heating/cooling/plumbing service is already coming in handy. Called the tech up and he’s gonna be here in next 60 minutes. Something tells me these guys are going to keep coming for a while.
Woke up to our electric furnace conked again. I am so tired of it.
Can’t wait for *Steve Jobs was working on Vision Pro before in his final days* hot takes soon. Coz you know, it has to be true.
My once a year blog post that I wrote one day early this time – [45](https://suyogdeshpande.net/2024/01/29/45/)
A nicely done rambler sat right outside the boundary of our community and went on sale few weeks ago at a price point that surprised us given its a rambler and today’s interest rates. That house sold for 310k above asking price. In today’s real estate market. Simply unreal.

I didnt know European Union cared that much about robo vacuums.
A weekend well spent in the company of good food, good friends and company.
