My throat really hurts… I still have pain killers but I don’t have any more super syrup. The healing of the scars and scabs was surprisingly just as painful as the actual surgery… and lasts like 10 times as long.

I guess I’m healthy enough to go to work and all… I can talk and I can eat at a normal pace… but talking tires me out and eating is pretty painful. Swallowing my own saliva is still really painful too. I really don’t want to go back to work.

Eargh… well at least I can hope that this is the end of my painful throat ulcers. I’ve been blogging about them for almost as long as I’ve had this blog.

I’ve felt like I’ve been on some long, weird vacation for a long time — since early September anyway. First Angel came, then the surgery… so things have been topsy turvy for a long time. I guess now I will be officially be getting back to a normal life. I’m looking forward to some stability again I guess, but my time away from work has really made me excited and antsy about possibilities for the future; like working part time at a language school while painting part time… and really trying hard to get some work doing art.

I feel like I’m rambling again now. Tiredness plus pain mixed with many distractions. Maybe it’s bed time.

I did this piece for my brother for his upcoming organ recital. I guess he’s playing some famous “Halloweeny” pieces like Danse Macabre and Night on Bald Mountain on the organ. It sounds really cool, and I wish I hear it. But oh well. Maybe there will be a recording I can listen to? So this piece is supposed to go on the posters and such for the recital. He asked for a D&D-ish feel to it, so here is my ogress doing the “classic” organ playing pose.  Good luck, Erik!
