So it appears that during the past week, I’ve been doing the calculations and record-keeping in my head rather than recording it on this blog.  In the meantime you’ve been forced to seek out other sources of tears-inducing boredom, and for this I apologize.  I’ll try to get back in the saddle here.  I am, after all, so very close to Level 3.  Various factors have interfered, but a hero doesn’t let factors get in the way, now, does he?  He saddles up.  He saddles up.

So it’s a little more than twenty-four hours later.  I never posted the above blog that I started, didn’t even get down to the meat of it.  Just passed out or something.  I’ve been sick more or less for the past month with a throat thing, and I’m going to call the doctor about it tomorrow morning.  First, though, I need to figure out who my doctor is.  Primary care my ass.  So, what did I do yesterday?
