Of Health and Cats

It's hard to type with fingers crossed, but I feel safe in saying that today has been a better health day than yesterday was. My head didn't hurt much at all; it wasn't quite in all's-right-with-the-world territory, but certainly better than yesterday. My digestive system was still very out of whack, unfortunately, and the back of my neck to my shoulder blades seems to have turned to stone, but I'm very grateful for the head reprieve.

I also didn't update yesterday about Monday's mystery finger ailment. Whatever it is, it's not nearly as bad as it was. Where bumping it or bending the finger on Monday drew gasps of shocked pain, yesterday it was just slightly painful, and today I would call it only sensitive. I can see it looks slightly weird, if I look at it, but it's actually possible to forget about it for long stretches of time, which is a vast improvement.
