File Under: Narcotic-induced attention-deficit disorder-inspired ramblings.

[jackshoegazer]

It has been a few days since I returned home from Salt Lake. I am in general recover mode; cleaning wounds taking pain meds, and discovering how much of a pain it is to not be able to lift anything over ten pounds. Between the pain and the meds for it (Lortab - one of the many Vicodin-like hydrocodone/acetaminophen combos) I have little attention span and fall asleep regularly, like narcolepsy. Thus, I haven't done much but space out in front of the television and go for a few walks. I haven't even had the energy to be at the computer. I've edited one photo so far, as seen below.


The Longest Road (Somewhere in Wyoming, I Think.)

Jacquelyn left last night for the annual Ecological Society of America meeting, at which she's giving talks and receiving an award. Afterwards, she is headed off for a research trip so I won't see her until the 11th or 12th. It's sad that we only got a few days together between my surgery and her conference but they say that bit about absence and hearts so I'm betting on that.

Sleeping has been difficult without an infinitely-adjustable hospital bed to bend to my every whim.  Such as it is, I should try to get some sleep anyway.  Tomorrow is going to be a long day of swim lessons and post offices and seeing how much movement I can take before I cry and eat more narcotics.

I think I remember that road. It was pretty impressive.

If you end up needing anything that you can't take care of without splitting open while Jacquelyn's gone, let me know!

It's good to have you back! I'm glad everything went well, I hope your recovery is swift =) And the bit about absence and hearts? I wouldn't be in long-distance if I didn't believe just a tiny bit in it. <3

Wyoming was freaky. Now that you're back from it you should check out Annie Proulx's short stories, Close Range. The first one in particular is spooky and even spookier if you've been to Wyoming.

Let me know if you need anything - now that I'm a dissertator its all naps and kittens!

Wyoming is so strange, isn't it? It's almost exactly like Colorado except there are way fewer people.

It sucks to only see Jacquelyn for a bit, but I bet the homecoming will be reeeeeally nice. : ) Hope today goes well, I take it the boy is back in residence?
