Hello all. As some of you will have noticed, I've been rather quiet lately. Writer's block hit so hard that I couldn't even open my laptop, and have been communicating via smartphone for... well, months. And I couldn't even face trying to write a journal entry on smartphone.
However, mental energy wise things are getting better. Writer's block seems to be getting better (managed just over a thousand words today, thanks to the joys of Scrivener) and I am generally more cheerful. Which is odd, really, as my back is getting worse. It has been about ten days since I've been able to leave the house. No - I tell a lie. I managed to get down the hill to the village some time this week, and then seriously considered a taxi to get me home. Basically, some days I can't bend to put my shoes on, or dressed. However, the doctor has prescribed me some painkillers that are actually helping. I've been able to walk around the house (or shuffle really) today. I do need to get into town at some stage, since my glasses have changed, and I really need the new prescription. So... officially I am an old crock. Bifocals and everything. Though I am at least a reasonably happy old crock at the moment.
Need food though. Must send my son grocery shopping - there is nothing but noodles, rice and onions in the house.
