This is mostly a heartbeat article, to show signs of life, and provide a little update to others and my future self.
I've put a pause on playing bridge. I still love that game, but I was sinking too many hours into it. Instead I've been focused on the following: renovating/redecorating my apartment, starting a new business, studying Spanish, and saltmines work.
My hands are, as usual, feeling shitty. I'm working around it.. I probably should make more of an effort to keep fighting this terrible disease; I have just learned to accept the pain as part of life. It rarely bothers me on an emotional level anymore, but I must admit that the pain is slowly getting worse.
I've been to New York City twice recently; I had a great time both times. I particularly enjoyed myself at House of Yes's House of Love parties, I may have to post an entire article detailing my experiences there.
For now, I'm back in Guanacaste, and despite the tremendous amount of rain, it feels good to be home.
