I started working on songs and recording again, getting back into the healthy habit of plugging the laptop into the Tascam. I have a lot of half-baked tracks on my minitape recorder and I’ve been building some of them up. I may post some lyrics to one or two of them soon.
Aside from that, my knees got me worried lately because they feel swollen and they pop when I walk around, with the occasional faint, sharp pain. It seems to be a mix of the old hypochondria and pre-arthritic barometric pressure joint reactivity, but I’ve been taking a mixture of glucosamine, MSM, and chondroitin just to be on the safe side. For years I’ve had the same thing happening occasionally with my thumb. I bend it and it cracks. Gross. Our bodies are stupid.
My brother’s cat was meowing outside his back door last week with a huge hole in its back. I didn’t know what to do, so I just brought it to a vet and they stitched him up for $250. He better pay me back. Cats’ bodies are gross too. Even worse because they don’t seem to mind that their muscle is exposed, they just keep licking it.
