Reinforcing with Titanium

hrjTomorrow I go into surgery to have my bones fastened together with titanium plates. After that comes the long boring recovery process, although with less concern about how the bones will come out. Not literally out, that is.
I've actually gone back to my morning coffee shop work sessions. My current workaround is to write up the journal article notes for my blog longhand and then dictate them using speech to text. I'm not very good at freehand dictating (like I'm doing right now) but long hand writing isn't affected and it works more at the speed at which my brain composes. Apple's speech to text does not entirely do well with the sort of specialized historic and theoretical vocabulary that the lesbian history project involves, but I'm muddling through.
We'll see how I do at my relatively dense schedule of events in the next two weeks once I come out of surgery. I have two parties, one online convention, and three book sales events coming up in the near future. (I've finally gotten hooked into how one connects with local Pride events for selling books. The question of making a profit is entirely separate.)
