quick updates on a monday morning

[seventhe]

• in 10 days I get the keys to my house. I am sort of in disbelief-land still.


• talked to the dr about my neck on Thursday. Turns out the news is better than I'd thought; the dr said that any kind of improvement is a good sign (I had been evaluating a 50%-75% improvement as "not 100% and therefore failure"; he said that 50%-75% is actually very promising), that he wants me to have a series of three shots with additional focused PT following the second shot, that whatever activity I can give it without pain will be good for it, and that he also wants me to stay on the painkillers until it is 100%.
  So the forward plan right now becomes using gentle exercise to remind my neck/shoulders/back what it's like to not be all fucked up, then to have another shot ~end of March/early Apr and a third ~end of Apr. He seems really hopeful that since it did respond to the first shot that subsequent ones will be even better. I'm trying to take hope from his optimism.


• I'm very happy to have been "cleared" to get back to working out, and am trying really hard to take it slow and gentle rather than just diving right in (and probably hurting myself again because my body is a jackass). I've been feeling very broken and lumpy lately - a very complex and complicated feeling, but generally not a good one - and I think this will help.


• meetings this week with the Japanese Overlords. I have my project review this morning; at the advice of a few of the managers I've added a slide pretty boldly and blatantly requesting the targets and direction we still lack in two main areas; I am not sure how this will go over. send help


• I've been playing FFIII. For now - until I make an official post - you can watch me here on tumblr. Basically this game:
  
  Yup.


• I still really want to write.


• DOINK! Final Fantasy Exchange 2013 is coming up. That's right, stay tuned for your yearly dose of "Sev has officially lost it". Timing this round: impeccable; sign-ups open the day I get the keys. clearly I am a professional


• what else do I even do anymore?

I played to the final dungeon and honestly could not explain the plot to you if you asked me. (Granted, it's been a few years, but still. It's been longer since I played Shining Force II, and I can still drunkenly hit the highlights of that one.) All I remember is the degeneration of my charmed bemusement.

"Oh. Okay." is the perfect tagline.
