Recovery from fall…much better.\u00a0 Some stitches out, others will be soon.\u00a0 Only one scab chunk left, but it’s starting to itch.<\/p>\n
Both R- and I have new machines that are up and running;\u00a0 new headphones that are more comfortable with better sound (so we can each enjoy our own favorite music, You Tube sites, etc.) without bothering the other.)\u00a0 (Yes, it’s luxury.)\u00a0\u00a0 The complete tech overhaul is well along; there’s still some more stuff (I still don’t have a new printer; the Faure Requiem is still stuck in old machine’s CD drive, the RAM upgrade wasn’t accepted by new machine, data recovery will, I hope, pull all the old photos off old machine’s disk, but we’ll see.\u00a0 But the improvement so far is MAJOR.<\/p>\n
I’m working on some new material related to Horngard I, still uncertain if it will fit in Horngard II or be pulled out into a separate story\/novella.\u00a0 Happy with the feel.\u00a0\u00a0 I didn’t lose consciousness, even momentarily, in the faceplant, but I hit hard enough to be stunned (still sore places on bones that met the sidewalk) and there were little blinks of “not there” time from the 4 hours in the hospital, which after the effect of the 2018 concussion had me worried.\u00a0 Not now.\u00a0 I’ve read some seriously technical material\u00a0 in two different journals and understood it fully and the writing itself tells me the brain’s healthy…or at least functional.\u00a0 2018-2022 showed me I can’t write coherent, hangs-together fiction if the brain is seriously upset.\u00a0 In fact, in 2018, I could barely write a coherent paragraph describing a current activity at first…so being able to write about merchants on a journey is reassuring.<\/p>\n
Now it’s feed time for the critters.\u00a0 We had an inch of rain we very much needed last night.<\/p>\n
