Still making my way through A Dance with Dragons - and today, I was reminded of why it is a) important to not skim chapters, even if they appear to be filler conversations over a meal with two rather non-substantial characters that you could care less about, because key plot points will be revealed, and b) the plus side to reading things on the Kindle (outside of not having to carry a ten pound tome around with me) is it highlights key plot points - so you'll be sure to not miss them.

Case in point:

( spoilers for ADWD or where we finally get the info on Jon Snow's true parentage. )

In other news...MRI scheduled on Sunday at 2pm. They asked if I was claustrophobic. I said a little but I'd been in the tube before. Oh so you've done this, they asked. Wait you said the tube? You've definitely done it. Although my mother and I keep arguing over it - she says I had a Cat-Scan, I say I've had an MRI. Personally I don't think it matters. They had all my info on file, so I'm in their system at any rate.

Also the epidermal/steroid shot appeared to work. No more sciatia, so far. Back still aches.
But better. I have hope.

Work is hurting my efforts to start writing creatively again. I'm too self-conscious.

It's colder now...the weather has shifted again. And rain is on the horizon. Lots of it.
Frequent downpours are predicted. Lovely. Hence the reason the MRI is scheduled for Sunday not Friday.
