I woke up thinking my knee had improved some, but went to the doctor this morning anyway. I now have more additions to my collection of braces and wraps, prescription-strength Naproxin, a refill of my migraine meds that should last until July-ish, and the knowledge that I should have the results of X-Rays tomorrow.

And ice like vinyl
On the streets
Cold as silver
White as sheets
Rain like strings
And changing things
Like leaves.
– Stephen Sondheim
It was a cold, wet day, with razor-sharp rain outside my windows most of the day. Zorro refused to go out until his bladder was so full he was practically floating, and then he came back in looking bedraggled [...]

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has much to say on the subject of flight.
There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day, the book suggests, and try it.
The first part is easy. [...]

I had an entire post written, then scrapped it because it was disgustingly whiny, and there’s enough whining on the web without me adding to it.
I was supposed to have a Day of Writeyness, but instead I had a Day of Sleepy Grouchiness. I feel like I can’t connect to any of the projects [...]
