Hi there! Yes, I managed to get through the physical, and I think I'll be putting in for an appointment with an ENT doc after I actually, you know, get any small amount of wax out of my ears so that no doctor can brush me off about it.

and that you got over that writerly hump in your novel.

I managed to get over one hump, cross one bridge - and promptly discovered another bridge across a chasm on the top of another hill. Still, I'm forging ahead. Heh ....

*hugs back*
