Back up and kicking

[torquill]

I feel pretty normal today -- maybe as low on spoons as I am at the end of the average week, and at almost my usual physical strength. I'm sure my stamina isn't what it appears, but I'm not going to push it.

The precipitous recovery tells me everything I need to know about the current state of my health. Sadly, it also tells me that no matter how good it gets, I may never be able to handle even tiny amounts of short-chain ethers. As sensitivities get, it could be worse.

I'm dreading going back to lab, which is unfortunate given how much I love the subject matter. (It says a lot when I'm less apprehensive about a biochem midterm than simply showing up to lab.) I expected that, of course -- it's like getting suddenly punched in the face. I'm going to be twitchy for a while.

I've studied as much as I can for the midterm; I have a good grasp of the theory and calculations, I'm just lacking in practice. So long as I have enough time to work through it, I think I'll do all right. I hope.

I was studying at the Ag Effort co-op before dinner last night, and Dory asked how I was doing. When I told her I was drifting off and daydreaming rather than studying, she told me that I had, in fact, looked pretty happy at that moment. (Getting a bit of the glow now, yeah. Not complaining.) If I have a random goofy grin when you see me, it isn't for any particular reason.

I have "Satellite" in my head, which may be adding to my mood.

I'm feeling calm and centered again for the first time in ages. A little tingle of nerves here and there, but nothing compared to the last couple of months. It feels good.

Glad to know you're up and running, as it were. :)

I am looking forward to seeing you tonight -- if you use up spoons at a higher than normal rate, say so and I'll meet you up there.

My only concern is that I may have to catch up on Tuesday's experiments as well as doing today's, plus the lab quiz... I may not end up in Concord before 6. I know you were asking for an early evening so we could get stuff done, and I'll do my best.
