Knee Improvements
More improvements on the knee front. I'd have to say that it feels better than it has in at least six months, maybe a year, and I'm past the "cortisone honeymoon" period of 4-5 days, so this may be a real improvement. I'm crutches and cane free, and I plan to start back at Curves next week to strengthen the support muscles. Very, very carefully...

Even though I'm a little anxious with my gig at Physical Plant due to end Feb 6th, my depression seems to be lifting. It's been a good gig, and most recently I've had the chance to do some Access programming again, which gives me a happy little glow.

Pain reduction certainly is a factor, as is getting something resembling sufficient sleep and enormously reduced stress now that I'm not scrambling to meet the Living Force schedule. The reception for the modules I wrote has been very good, and I think that helps as well. I need validation from outside -- I haven't figured out how to find it within yet -- and so these little treasures help me a lot.

I'm chugging away writing my first Living Death module, and have ideas for a couple of Chill modules and an article on GMing style that I hope will be good enough for Pyramid.

We're hip-deep in snow here in mid-Michigan. I'd like to complain about the weather (it's been really, really cold, and we're expecting somewhere between 10 and 24 inches of snow by morning)... but this is Michigan, darn it. Where we have two seasons -- Winter and Under Construction. We've gotten off easy the past few years with mild winters, and though the snow and cold are inconvenient (especially with my car heater on the fritz), I really can't complain.
