Quick update, Florida style
Mar. 18th, 2009 11:49 amSafely arrived in Orlando for the ICFA. Have already seen many wonderful people, with many more on their way. It's very warm here.
Before we left, I stayed up late several days to finish the job of rewriting the Book of Tales for the new edition of Tales of the Arabian Nights and delivered it to the publisher. There's still a fair amount of review of the components on my plate, but this was the big hurdle and I can see my free time returning to me.
My nose feels almost normal now. My last couple of follow-up visits have been almost painless, and both my breathing and my sense of smell are recovering. For about the first month after the surgery, I was so exhausted that even walking down a flight of stairs would leave me wiped out; a couple of days ago, I ran up three flights of stairs to catch a train and was barely even winded. I think I can resume exercising this week.
(Last year's ICFA was when I realized that my nose was actually causing me sleeping problems and lead me to finally start the process of getting my nose fixed.)
Oh, I finally used my relatively new Sansa Fuze to watch TV--I downloaded all the chunks of the Jon Stewart/Jim Cramer "Basic Cable Personality Clash Feud Skirmish '09" and watched them on the plane. I found it quite acceptable. It's weird, living in the 21st century.
That's pretty much it. Enjoy!
