Hmm, been awhile since I posted something, suppose I should bring everyone up to speed.

Things got horribly, horribly busy at work lately, so busy we had to hire in another 2 techs to just keep the work from crawling off the bench and killing all of us, so I had overtime for a few weeks in a row (and I ate that up like crazy).

About 3 weeks ago, I started feeling kind of under the weather, "just sinus', it's fall, yo!". there was this nagging pressure behind my temples, in my jaw under my ears, and I got a few more headaches than usual. nothing to serious. About a week after that, I had some "creative differences" with Zazzle for a bit, and because the world is run by evil lawyers who all need to be hit by a truck, some of my art was taken out of my gallery. by itself not a huge issue, but the way in which this was communicated had the effect of throwing my psyche into a meat grinder. I couldn't even look at any of my projects for 2 weeks.

A brief bit of inspiration via music and one of my absolute favorite online manga's pulled me out of my slump, and lead to me finishing up 3 projects in reletivly quick times ("muse" is in the store, but not on the site yet, and the other 2 wont be posted until their recipients OK everything).

Then I start feeling worse. I've got this nasty copper taste in my mouth all the time, I'm nauseated constantly, my stomach doing agonizing flip-flops onto a bed of nails. I can't eat, or even look at food, I even had to call off work for the first time in years. A trip to the doctor reveals a number of things.
1) probably as a result of the anti-biotic eye drops from my lasik surgery, combined with the constant dust and airborne irritants from work I developed a sinus infection, which was now raging, and had spread to my throat, and possibly my stomach.
2) The jaw pain, while partially caused by the tubes in my ears being blocked up, can be attributed to the infection causing my wisdom teeth to put pressure on the rest of my teeth, cause swelling, etc. etc... so now those need to be removed.

So now I'm on some great drugs, and I get to go see a man about having some of my teeth yanked from my skull.
