State of me

After more than a week, I'm finally getting some of my hearing back in my left ear. It was kind of nerve-racking, mostly because it took me so long to be able to get to a doctor, I was afraid the infection did something permanent. So this is a huge relief.

Unlike poor Houston, we only had a few rainstorms from Tropical Storm Imelda, another relief. We had our broken concrete sidewalks and back patio replaced with stone pavers a couple of weeks ago, and added some drains out to the street, so hopefully we won't have to worry too much about water getting into the house from hard rain. Because it's just going to get worse.

On Thursday, Rebecca Roanhorse did a talk at TAMU as part of the Cushing Library Hal Hall Lecture Series, and she spoke on Diversity in SF/F Short Fiction. Cushing just closed their Diversity in SF/F exhibit this past Friday, which had opened in the Spring and been running all summer. Now I'm looking forward to the next exhibit. It's been really nice to have these SF/F events and exhibits in town, and not have to drive to another city to see anything cool. Even though my hearing was really bad on Thursday, I really enjoyed it.

And my car is finally fixed so I can actually catch up on all the errands I need to do.
