Long time no blog. I made so much useless noise that I didn't see a point in it anymore. Writing without a point is, well, a huge waste of time for everybody involved.
So, since my last real post about 2.5 months ago, I've moved to a new place in town. Costs are split three ways, which makes it rather afforadable. It's another duplex, but this duplex is a standalone house, not part of a complex. The gentleman we rent from is very straightforward and takes no bullshit. From all I can tell, he's a pretty good guy.
The only other major event was recently getting diagnosed with arthritis and possibly Ollier's Disease, which have come about because I don't have a car and have to walk to many places. Apparently, walking a few thousand miles over the last ten years will put a little wear on the joints. As for the Ollier's Disease, it's a condition of having several benign tumors around or near joints of long bones. The doctor found them on my ankles and right knee. At best, I'll be making periodic checks with an orthopedic specialist to make sure they don't do anything. At worst, one or more will turn malignant, requiring surgery to remove them. Chances of that are low but still significant. The disease is rare, but not particularly life threatening.
I don't regret not blogging for the last few months. I needed to stop making so much noise and be still. It's easier to contemplate and think that way. I'll update as often as I feel like again, rather than force myself into daily posts.
