@shoutcacophony Bartók I can get behind, to a point, but (as far as 20th century classical music goes) I'm more into Hindemith, early to mid Stravinsky, and Glass.

Was never a fan of the Schönberg/Webern bunch. (Is that called Vienna School or am I mixing it up with the *early* Classical stuff? Or a decorative arts movement?)

Besides my parents' Big Band and other Jazz stuff, I teethed primarily on Bach and Mannheim Steamroller. So it makes sense that I would lean towards Neoclassical work. 🙃

@shoutcacophony I can appreciate Ives' craft and innovation, but personally? Just not a fan.

And yes, for the record: I call those times when you're between rooms and getting two clashing audio inputs "a Charles Ives moment".

*goes back to realising the continuo part for this movement of zer sonata*

Also no, I'm not going to go to the coöp this evening: I'm wobbly, I have little incentive, and the melt is starting to freeze.

Better to leave that until tomorrow, when I might not be as wobbly, might have more incentive, and the walks have thawed out again.

Yeah, I think I have some lingering muscle weakness in my right leg?

This is not unexpected. Nerve impingement does that sometimes.

Pain is still way down, but I've got to take it slowly, lest it spike again.

Darn; it being a certain day, the coöp hot bar doesn't have the stuff I usually treat myself with on Saturdays.

Do I still want to go return my extra tarragon & pick up a couple sundries? 🤔

@alli In that case: worry no more. Auncle Qwyrdo's got your back ∑:ᴈ

Building a portfolio of maps, character sketches, and sort stories would... definitely be a good thing.

That said, this class is A) in the mornings, and B) on days already set aside for my ARMHS worker.

Hrrrmm... 🤔

@karolat Establishing a consultancy for science fiction & fantasy authors about science, languages, and other stuff.

And I need help from Voc Rehab because I'm Autistic and have MH issues that make the actual planning kind of challenging for me.

They have folks who can guide me on developing a business plan, applying for grants etc., tax implications, and a bunch of other stuff.

Oooh, dangerous class alert: a several week long one about worldbuilding.

Including cartography!

@karolat Not really applicable, in my case: I'm planning to be my own boss.

Oh! I thought I had more paperwork/homework for Voc Rehab than I actually do.

I'm still sort of in task mode, but I'm not sure where to direct that kind of energy.

Uhm, uhmm... research? I could look at local writing classes again...

Oh, right. I did recently up my dosage of naproxen.

Maybe I should start taking prilosec again...

Oh. Right.

I could try using my vape to deal with this minorish bout of nausea.

Glad I remembered that's one if its uses!

@Maenad IME, for insurance reasons, you usually have to start by talking to your primary doctor about a new symptom.

But if you're already in PT and have a good relationship with them, it couldn't hurt (no pun intended).

@Maenad That sort of thing could probably be addressed through (more and different) physical therapy.

No cat, it is *not* a good idea to attempt to ignite your belches to determine their chemical composition >_<;
