Some weeks I have big updates, and other weeks I have small ones. Sometimes my updates are big because I have strong emotions that I need to release, and sometimes my updates are small because I have strong emotions that need to be hemmed in.

This week I have no strong emotions of either variety, and that has me feeling emotional in an unfamiliar way. It feels like I'm wearing a thick wool glove and grasping at my emotions, trying to describe the texture of them.

It sure does fucking suck to have a broken leg. I wish I could ambulate farther than a city block's length before needing a break. I wish I could ambulate with my own legs instead of metal crutches that bruise my hands and clang around when I drop them. I'll be better in a few months, but the next few months are going to continue to suck.

How's it going, Hubski?

I didn't hear about ilex or her chickens this week! How goes the conference prep? Are you already on the road?

applewood I'm still planning to watch Godzilla '54, but I've had less free time than I thought I would! It's still on the list. Have you done any crafting since last week?
