mdlbearI actually managed to walk five days last week, finished my taxes yesterday, and got my keys back from UW's lost-and-found. On the other hand, I missed the eclipse, and have been feeling distinctly tired and out of sorts. I'm going to blame both oif those on the radiation treatments, which are nearly half over. On the gripping hand, I haven't been doing my exercises very regularly. I have the general feeling I'm decrepitating.
In family news, N and m are still traveling (you can follow their adventures, with a bit of a delay, on GoingSideways.blog),and j got accepted into Leiden University.
In links this week, Taking care is very touching, Fork Theory is an appropriate companion to spoon theory, and Electrifying Cellist Tina Guo Plays an Integral Role in ‘Dune’ and Other Scores by Hans Zimmer.
