It's mostly been the same 'ol same 'ol though I did spend an extended Memorial Day weekend in Virginia at a state park. Lots of small wildlife; got beaned in the back of the head by a beetle that as about 5cm long who then fell into the back of my shirt and stayed there until I pulled it out.

Have started physical therapy for the shoulder and see an ortho about my back in a few weeks. Taking drugs to deal with the pain is not my idea of a solution and I'm hoping that with the PT I can drop the drugs.

Art? Yeah. Not much though. Mostly thinking about potential projects rather than actually doing anything about them. This weekend if there's both energy and time I'll see how far one can get sewing a shitagi (using a medium green, cotton fabric; no plans to embroider the finished garment). If that goes well then I may focus more on sewing/embroidery for awhile.

29 June 09 update: Finished the shitagi. Took about a day and a half. Forgot a few things about constructing these things since the last time I made a kimono (which was somewhere around a decade or so ago) but it's good enough. Now to make the obi. Or start another embroidery project. Or something.
