I just had nasal-septal reconstruction (straightening-out of my septum) and left-side FESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery) a week ago. I’d had a lingering sinus infection since before Thanksgiving and here it was almost Easter by the time I had the surgery. I’ve always been prone to sinus infections, and the dust and fumes in the air where I work combined with the scarring and created polyps, which is why I couldn’t get better. I’m out of work for 3 weeks recovering, and while it’s not the happiest recovery, I can already breathe so much better. I feel it was worth it. We’ll see how I feel a few months from now!

My income tax refund put me over my goal by about $600, so I can breathe a little easier now. I might treat myself to something with some of it, but the majority of it is going to become my security deposit on a new apartment this summer.

I haven’t written any articles and probably never will, but I have added a few things here and there to existing articles. So far I’ve added Claudine Longet as one of the artists who covered the Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows”, and added a note to the Now & Laters article about a mention of them in the Beastie Boys’ song “Get it Together”.
Tiny things, but they sure were fun.
