Jul 2, 2009 travel, work, writing

Even with my hospital stay earlier this month, I’ve managed to post a lot this month. Of course it helps when I can’t leave the apartment since the heat makes my symptoms worse.

But if you missed anything I posted this month, here’s a listing for your reading pleasure:

No photos published on Flickr this month – didn’t really take anything new except for some hospital pix of my lumbar puncture healing and such. Not really stuff to share. LOL

It has been a bit difficult writing this month. Whatever is impairing my nervous system and my motor skills also makes me feel like I have a wad of cotton in my head. I also seem to black out randomly while I’m sitting on the couch typing.

Thanks again to everyone who takes the time to read my writings and articles. I really do appreciate the support and feedback!
