Well, I'm still alive, as the process of convalescence continues to evolve and morph in ways that are surprising and then not surprising at all. Currently the right cheek has swollen in a manner so as to help cover and shield the larger (stitched) socket left by the impacted tooth. While this is admittedly ingenious on my body's part, I'm left with a singular jowl that while better than a full-on fatface is still annoying. The empty socket above that one has started its own ache as well (empty top-left socket continuing to be completely fine), though it feels more like the jaw in general that's aching so I'm attributing it to a history of pronounced TMJ compounded by the swelling and starting to eat more solid foods again. But that's just my opinion, I'm not a doctor or anything.
The upshot of all this is that since the weekend I've been in what feels like a mental and physical stasis; there's not much I want to *do,* or feel like I can do without exacerbating things. I've been reading (American Gods again, to be followed by Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress) and keeping whatever obligations I have, but not much else. It's such a weird frame of mind, to be getting this antsy and completely unable/unwilling to rectify it, even with something as simple as music work. I just don't know if I have the undivided attention for it.
Maybe this change of scenery will help: I have another house-and-pet sitting gig coming up, as Bosslady and Mr. Bosslady head to California tomorrow morning for almost two weeks. Three cats this time, which I will take over two full-grown labs any day. Plus access to a HDTV/PS3 setup; if anyone has a copy of GTA IV they're not using, I'll keep it company for a while. Also excited to see how The Dark Knight looks on Blu-Ray since it's about time to watch that again anyhow.
Been thinking on what kind of hardware of my own is worth moving over, and I'm leaning towards keeping it simple. As in maybe just the Kurz and speakers for it, and the acoustic. Which is not to say breaking the PC tether will immediately lead to any kind increased productivity, but it might make for a welcomed different kind of productivity. Plus it's not like cats are going to care two shits if I run back home to fiddle with things more traditionally for an evening. Then again, if I get this Cubase install to finally work tonight I just might change my mind.
Back to work now; getting into the blessing and curse that is Q1 crunch time. This man has proofs to build.
