Mrrrrrnin

7:00 is getting darker and darker. If it weren't for getting up to pee every three hours these days (it really has settled into 1am, 4am and 7am intervals at night, it's a bit scary) I'd still be dead asleep.

Had a sleepy/worky afternoon after Osaka, and then morlock took me out to dinner @ the bluebonnet, with a stop at the comic store. Testament to my returning appetite, as being still full from Osaka I still managed to toss down an entire turkey club sandwich. Gonna have to keep an eye on things today but so far no ill effects... and again, it's not like I'm craving anything too terribly unhealthy. Except maybe coffee. I didn't have any yesterday, and I was all right... I'm trying to make that an occasional treat rather than an everyday necessity, and actually having the vanilla soy milk around does help with that, as I crave heavy creamy and sweet in the morning. Apparently the coffee is optional there.

The evening was wrapped up with a book in morlock's armchair watching McCain flail during the debate. Who the hell is Joe the plumber? I'd be creeped out enough by McCain's direct addresses to him to move to Canada this morning. Actually it was funny, I wasn't paying attention so much to the debated questions as both candidates demeanors... I felt that Obama stayed relaxed and confident in his positions enough to make McCain nervous on a few occasions. McCain... just seemed squirrelly and stiff for most of it, blinked a lot, and I felt he resorted to taking potshots at Obama too much. And that he always had to one-up Obama at the end of every point, like he needed the last word. And at several points I was reminded of those annoying alltell wireless commercials, cause I felt that McCain wanted to end most of the talking points with "Oh yeah, well Senator Obama, you're still a ding-dong! Do you want a ding-dong for president??" To which point I would be all like "yeah about that, have you looked at your running mate lately?"

Today's plan/goals: Worky worky, and a lot of it. *sigh* Just need to gird the loins and push through it today, otherwise it's just not going to get done at all ever. blarg. Also want to tidy up a bit in my room, clean the downstairs bathroom, and tackle a few grody areas of the kitchen, as Amastan and Ale are definitely showing up this weekend. We'll see what time and energy allow for today, but I feel confident that I can manage all that and an episode of Murder She Wrote with C.

So off to it. Can't do a thing w/o breakfast after all...

(no subject)

I think I hit the correct blend of organization, coffee and music to kinda have a nice productive groove today so far. We'll see if I can successfully jump back into it after I make some lunch, but I'm optimistic.

I had something else to say here, but danged if I know what it was. Ah well. Food time!

Recovery notes

Done with antibiotics as of today! Two less pills to worry about, happy dance.

Swelling is progessing down my legs centimeter by annoying centimeter. My feet and ankles are still all puffy and don't bend all that well, but it's mostly ignorable... or more has to be if I wanna walk places. Totally getting one of them thar girly mani-pedis once I can see bone in my feet again.

Cough mostly gone, and it no longer hurts to yawn or take deep breaths anymore. That and I no longer get totally winded climbing stairs. That's dance worthy.

VOICE IS FINALLY RETURNING. Thank the fucking gods. I still can't project worth shit, but I at least sound fairly normal at speaking volume. And even better I've got at least my lower range back, so I can at least sing Macy Gray again, lol. Good place to start - she always sounds like that. But yeah... remind me to never underestimate how comforting it is to just be able to sing along to whatever I'm listening to. Hell, maybe I can actually play Rock Band 2 this weekend.

Appetite is good, and as far as I can tell, the digestive process is functioning nicely. Still perfectly content to not be eating crap food and going to do my best to keep that up.

Raw bit under my nose still looks fairly nasty, but is on the mend.

belly scar is... interesting. Not bad interesting because it's clearly healing well, just interesting in terms of there's this fascinating complex biological process happening where I can see it. Now that I've pretty much lost any sense of the woogies regarding it, I must say I've been fascinated by its progress, in all its weird peely granulated glory. Parts of it you can't even see the seam already, and other parts are gonna take a long while to knit up and join completely. Pretty cool, in a sorta gross kinda way - I kinda feel like that moment in the Addams Family movie where Uncle Fester, Pugsley and Wednesday are gleefully exclaiming over the big book about scabs.

Status: recovering well.

Annnd back to work. :D
