Not much happened over the weekend art wise, it usually all happens on the weeknights – that may change now though as I have just gotten World of Warcraft…. Mom is back from Japan, she has taken tons of photos for me that she thinks I might like to paint…. Sigh, sometimes don’t you wish you could just curl up in bed and make the world go away?

June 30th, Palais Theater…. there is a package that allows you to go backstage and meet him and everything!… it would cost 1 grand for Liam and I to both go under the platinum option, but it is so worth it.

I am tolerated to Feldene and Voltarin now but the Doc is trying me on something new, it is apparently gentler on the stomach but close to feldene. We shall see how it goes but I am hopeful, a little worried about how it interacts with alcohol but usually they enhance each other which is nice, that’s what feldene does…. While I was at the doctors I got a referral for a specialist as per the lawyers request, he is apparently a leading authority on back injuries and may even be able to help (with the pain, not the cases) I am deathly afraid of having surgery or quartizone injections recommended – it sounds so wrong to introduce foreign substances like that and surgery is just wrong.

I have decided to take on my long awaited, much put off task of sorting my enormous sheet music collection…. I am missing the SCA though, it is a good place to express creativity etc. I am working on a new version of the St Monicas website…. I am pissed that it has been so long since it was updated, I surrendered the website early last year and nothing has been done on it since – dont whinge if you arent going to do it yourself!!

I love Art History and painting (obviously) and the course I am looking at is designed to allow exploration of art techniques and skills, as well as art history…. I am mildly worried about the long term implications of starting something like this, I still hope that I will be able to get better and get back to work. But I can still take it at my own pace so if I want to continue when I am back at work I can and at least it will be something for me to do during my convalescence…
