The first two reviews of the screenplay are in, and though the readers are not in the film industry, they are smart and well-read and don't bullshit me. Their extremely positive reactions have buoyed me greatly.
Sometimes I think this is the best part. When you finish something you're proud of, and you have yet to hear anything negative about it. Trust me, those reactions wll come. But just at this moment, the illusion is that you've produced something that won't have to be substantially changed, so I try to appreciate it while it lasts.
The only shadow on my horizon is that my left foot is almost as bad as my right, and walking is becoming more and more uncomfortable. I have to keep the ibuprofen to a minimum, because I think it has something to do with the periodic diarrhea I've been suffering from, and of course anything stronger like vicodin is very risky for an addict, not to mention treats the symptom and not the cause. I'm really starting to think plantar fascitis is not the correct diagnosis, that it is neuropathy from being on HIV meds so long and it virtually untreatable. I may have to discuss taking a med vacation with my doctor..
Tomorrow I go to Albuquerque till Tuesday to visit my sister and to witness the Math book we wrote in action with the class she teaches. No worries if I don't blog for a couple of days.
