Only mostly dead, however, which is still partly alive. I am still kicking, and wiggling, and twisting, and contorting.

In the last several months, I finally got a new puppy, Nymeria. It was very tough on me potty training her. Right when progress was made, she was spayed, and spent two weeks with the Cone of Shame on (also had dew claws removed), which has been a horror.

I am worn out beyond measure, yet the progress continues. I am closer to finding my center than ever.
Of course, I am also in grade A, first class, pain.

One bother has been the realization that I can't possibly go to the movies and see Star Wars.
I am not the hugest of Star Wars geeks, but I did grow up with the films, I did have all the toys, and I am a movie nut. Granted, I have not been to a theater since taking my kid to Toy Story 3, but still. This is Star Wars. I am an Abrams fan, loving what he did with Star Trek, and I WANT to see this new movie very much.
It's just, too much pain. No way I can handle the (drive + lines + hours in a movie seat) without being in fantastical pain for weeks afterwards.
I must wait for on-demand, sadly.

Among the positives is I may be working out how to explain the "center" to people in a way that may actually click with some. It is still rough, but hopefully it will be my next post, complete with some math (well, using vectors in an example, anyways).
