Today I don't feel too good. Sort of flat. I think the constant background pain is starting to wear me down again, I remember it doing this last year now that I think about it.

Leg hurts a bit more today, swelling continues to reduce very very very slowly. Overall, I don't think I'm much recovered from how I was on Monday. It's looking more and more like I'm going to be stuck on crutches again for quite a while. Contemplating that possibility leaves me close to tears... I want to protest that this setback is 'unfair' - like the world was ever fair or unfair... the world just is. Self-demonstrating, no less. Oh well.

On the bright side, my boss came over to say good things about the work I did while I was working from home - the stuff that was really bloody-minded - so I feel a bit better about the struggles I had with getting that to work right, and the apparently lack of productivity it caused.

Mind you, as a reward I've been given the task of installing some stats and monitoring software on a cluster of Win2k servers running IIS. Gee thanks. Next time I won't finish working on the current Perl task until the next Perl task comes up ;)
