bugshaw at 12:00am on 27/11/2009I've been quiet here - well, alternately quiet and noisy in real life. Monday I slept through with a cold, Tuesday I went to work grumbly, Wednesday I lost my voice, Thursday I regained enough of it to telephone the chap who was going to do Dragon Naturally Speaking training on Friday, and today I cough. Not too bad while I'm standing up, but it is nearly midnight...
Read Pain: The Science of Suffering, Patrick Wall, as recommended by the hospital rheumatologist/back person. He has an old-school style with some lovely characterful moments, though states things as facts without giving references. It covers pain, where it comes from, how people perceive and display it, and what is 'normal' in the hopes of helping people with chronic pain. I found it very interesting, with several points I'm still processing. It might turn out to have been very useful. I'm happy to lend it locally if anyone fancies a borrow.
Wrote to my sister a few weeks ago, when she briefly had a postal address. The card got returned yesterday, opened, with a "Addressee gone away" sticker on it. I feel kind of flat, though we've not spoken for some years and I was not getting my hopes up for a touching rapprochement.
* cough cough cough *
Did a Myers Briggs test. After years of being an INTJ Mastermind, I came out as an ENFJ Teacher. Time for a change? Not that the last three letters were far off 50%.
* cough *
Thinking of going to the cinema on Friday night (2012), but also thinking the audience might hate and kill me.
EDIT: Actually, starting to feel jolly rough again.
