HealthI made it through today without a full nap! I had to rest for a bit, bit no actual nap. That's a first since the kidney infection really hit late Saturday. The pain is pretty small now, mostly a tightness and low ache in my right back.

I've been reading Moby Dick and have been doing something with it that I've never done reading a book before: listen to it while reading it. I have audio play versions of almost every Shakespeare play, and will soon have them all, and have listened to those while looking at the text of the play but plays are meant to be performed not read so that ( Read more... )
