hamlettaMy health has been annoying this week, with several issues flaring up at once. Noting big, but trickier than, say, a cold, in that I can't just wait for it to go away but must actively do something about it. I'm self-medicating on one issue, because I've dealt with it before and recognise the symptoms. If it doesn't go away, I'll have to see a doctor, which is annoying because the whole thing started due to a doctor's intervention. [I know I'm making it sound mysterious--it's not, I'm mostly concerned you might be reading it while eating and want to spare you :D]
the second issue is my shoulder pain -- the specialist thinks it's rotator cuffs, so he had me MRI it, which I did today. It was my first MRI, and as such it was interesting purely from the technology perspective. I didn't expect it to be so noisy -- though I should have, if I spared it a thought. Another thing I didn't expect was that it would make me dizzy, which it did, and quite a lot, though luckily it was gone within minutes. One of the techs told me it was normal for some people, so, lucky me!
I wanted to grill the techs on the details about the blue-space-portal they put me into, but I was the last patient and they looked eager to go home (it was after 10 pm). So I mentioned briefly that I'm going to read up on how this works, and the tech told me it was just magic. So, you have it from a health official: I've been inside a magic vibrations portal today. Yay!
Writing has suffered a bit from the health issues (and some study assignments), BUT I drafted three short chapters (slightly over 7k words). This is good because now I have a chapter in each pov, and that really helps me see their part of the world. I have one character's plot worked out in enough detail but the other two are more nebulous -- and since they are the ones that intertwine the most, I really need to give it some thought. So I think that's what I'll be doing next (working out on the outline some more) going further with the wordcount. My rewards will have to wait!
