move

Time marches on, though many things remain the same. My hearing, for example. It has not improved one iota. Not only that; the specialist I saw is showing no further interest in the case, the steroids did bupkiss to help and the MRI has not even been scheduled yet despite assurances from the doc's secretary that I would not have to wait the obligatory six months for the test. I'm not freaking out about it, just observing the glacial pace of our health care delivery. If I were freaking out, I'd drive to Buffalo and get an MRI done on the spot. Incidentally, I also made an appointment to see a urologist and his first open date was in November. Nice, eh?

We're moving! The condo has been sold. My home and hearth for the past decade has to be vacated by mid-July. It's far more sensible to sell first, have the money in the bank, as it were, and only then look for a place to buy. The main problem is that if we don't find anything within the next six weeks, we'll be homeless for a while.

I'm playing the Orangeville Jazz Festival today and tomorrow. Should be a lot of fun (except for the driving, though even that has been made more bearable by the purchase of my 2000 RAV4) After the weekend, I'll try to get out of town for three days, I need to chill somewhere away from this desk. Montreal is a possibility. I was there last weekend - what a fantastic place. I love Montreal - by far the best city in Canada. Unlike Toronto, it actually has a feel, an atmosphere of its own. The only trouble is, I'm not sure I feel like driving that far....

Over and out. I'm sooooo tired
