jaeclecticThe process of becoming well continues exceedingly slow. I will now refrain from talking in tedious detail about unpleasant physical mundanities.
Meanwhile, went to Cal Shakes with Jen last night, and saw an absolutely wonderful production of The Tempest. Really sweet, charming, very funny. If you like theatre, and if going to Orinda isn't impossible, you should go -- it runs through next weekend.
This evening I'll be having dinner with Johanna & Mike 1-of-3, then seeing Beach Blanket Babylon -- which I saw once before, before I actually lived here, I think, maybe 1997? no, maybe earlier. Anyway, plenty of time to have forgotten the details & appreciate the hats afresh. Should be a blast.
In my mind there is some odd contrast between seeing them again so soon, and not having spent much/any time with many/most of my close friends who live locally. Mind you, I know it is just chance & busy-ness & a logical side effect of my having been so sluggish. But the contrast is there in my mind nonetheless.
In general, I am in that mental state where I feel fine, not bursting with joy but certainly not unhappy -- yet at the same time I'm excruciatingly sensitive, all the emotional nerves resting on the outside of the skin. All the news of the world seems impossibly hard to take; my friends' troubles resonate painfully; random thoughts about the past or the future, or imagined conversations, or bits of pop music will start me weeping.
But at least the overwhelming sense of futility that was swamping me has subsided, along with the other cold symptoms.
