Jeez, my knee (like the joint) has been aching like crazy the last day or so… The good news is that the muscle's pretty much 100%, but the joint's no fun, probably because of the weather changes so I'm very uncomfortable and can't sleep. I'm not writing that to complain — what I'm complaining about is that one of my bank cards got cloned and penetration tests were run on the account ($331 and $663 withdrawal attempts somewhere in the USA), so I had to spend about 45 minutes at the bank standing and waiting for it to get sorted out. I really like the people at my bank and have known them for a long time so I kept up the smiles, but I wish it could have been resolved over the phone.
This is just a rough first doodle, but I think I'm actually going to paint this but huge, on that 72″x54″ canvas I got last week… Please excuse my crayola marker coloring. It's kind of silly but I think it'll be a really fun painting when it's all done (if I do it). I really like doing children's style drawings (both in the style of and style for) at this size.
It's also kind of based on that famous painting of the dogs playing poker.
Other than that I got two pieces of crappy news today but I was expecting both of them…
First of all — the [new] error that was making it so buddy list edits trashed your main description, and the subsequent problem of things being uneditable should be all fixed now… If you find more problems, let me know or post them in the tech support forum.
A few days ago I posted a “map” of what parts of my leg have surface sensation and which parts don't. I mapped it out again this morning to see if it's changed (it has). The area is also quite cold (the whole lower leg, not just the numb area) in comparison to the other leg. If you're interested in this sort of thing, Asurfael has started doing similar mapping out on her [doctor performed] implants.
While it has changed, I think that those changes are just a result of the subtleties of how it's swollen today and what nerves are getting pushed on.
Yeah…
Anyway, it's still sore, but a million times better. I find that as the day goes by I get more “pissed off” feeling, like I'm irritated at little stuff but I think I'm a pretty mellow guy so it doesn't really come out or anything. I waffle between whether it's better to stay clear headed and just consciously keep calm and happy, or whether it's better to be a bit muddled from painkillers.
