yay for drugs



Who is this filker? (hint: she has visited my place, was at Consonance)


Had a mellow weekend. Did lots of reading: finished Factoring Humanity by Robert Sawyer, read Clan Of The Cave Bear by Jean Auel, started Timeline by Michael Crichton and Valley of the Horses by Jean Auel. Saw Return of the King again (my 5th time) with Jeff, Ruth, Sara and Annie. Brunch with Ray and Parki and Jeff. Took a lot of walks; I passed my goal for the Idita Walk challenge last week, and now I'm seeing how far beyond the 1049 minute mark I can get in during the next couple of weeks.

It looks like I'm going to have a creative outlet after all (yay!), thanks to my friend Michelle Sagara West, who has asked if I would be willing to cowrite another short story with her. I said yes, of course. She offered to do all the typing during our brainstorming/planning sessions; by the time we actually start writing, I should have recovered enough from my elbow sprain to at least be okay with longer ViaVoice sessions.



Who is this filker?


The anti-inflammatories I started taking last week already seem to be having an effect; the pain has subsided enough that I can happily say things are starting to improve again. Yay for drugs! :-) Thanks for the advice and encouragement posted in Blatherchat and Livejournal; it is much appreciated.

Thanks also to Scott and Amanda and Zoe Snyder, Dave Clement and Tom Jeffers, Paul Kwinn and Beckett, and Alisa and Hailey Grace Garcia for the surprise phone call from Consonance in California last night! And for singing the Hockey Monkey Song at me. I missed you guys, too.

And congrats to Terence Chua, who is going to be the guest of honor at Consonance next year!
