We seem to have gotten behind here. My apologies. Allow me to sum up.
On Saturday, February 21, I gave my presentation at the Waterville Public Library to a small, but enthusiastic room. Questions were asked and answered, books were signed. I had a good time.
I came home and collapsed, got up Sunday, did some work on the WIP, cleaned up the chaos in my "business office," and noticed that my back was hurting.
Aha! I said to myself. Self, this is a perfect time to test the pain-killing features of a thc gummy (1/4 strength). Possibly, I was not wrong; nonetheless, it wasn't my best thought ever. It turns out that thc, even in small amounts, gives me a Really Ugly high, which I could have put up with, if it had nailed the pain, which it didn't. Worse, it didn't even put me to sleep.
Followed Monday, with back pain and exhaustion, being treated with Motrin Duo, and today, Tuesday, when I though I had gotten ahead of it, and actually worked an hour on the WIP this morning before the pain came screaming back, so that's two lost days, and I? Am not amused.
I am feeling somewhat better this evening -- witness the fact that I am writing to you here.
I thought I had to go out tomorrow for a bone density test, and was weighing the wisdom of that, but it seems I misremembered, and the test is on Thursday afternoon, by which time, she said sternly, I hope to GHOD I'm back to what I like to call normal.
So, in terms of catch up -- y'all didn't miss much, and I'm actually glad you missed most of it. Here's a pic from my talk. Photo by Kiri Guyaz.
