The holidays are over, even though they were only supposed to last a week and my initial plan was to rest, but it wasn’t to be. Mina had a crisis and I’ve been acting as her nurse day and night. I thought we were going to lose her, but that hasn’t been the case. By increasing her medication, she’s been recovering a little. At least being on vacation allowed me to keep an eye on her. She’s been on so much medication for a year now that it’s weakening her considerably. Even so, she hasn’t lost her appetite or her will to live. She’s teaching us a great lesson. Giving her the best possible quality of life remains the priority, and the truth is, despite the side effects of the medications that make her almost hyperactive, she’s been very well-behaved.
Anyway, I was able to go out during the day, despite the rain, and take walks, celebrate the Wiccan’s birthday, and enjoy my free time.
These past few days I also wanted to film the music video for what will be the title track of the new album, but between the rain and the fact that the dentist gave me a nasty cut on the right corner of my lip, it wasn’t possible. We’ll try again in about a week.
For now, the single of the house remix of «Make Me Free» is scheduled for this Friday, and although the distributor hasn’t confirmed it yet, a week later, I hope it will arrive on time. I haven’t received the demo of the next remix yet, but it doesn’t matter because for now I’m sticking to the plan and everything is going more or less as expected. These days I’m also working on proofreading my new novel, and although it’s getting harder and harder to concentrate and stay organized without getting distracted, I try to make my lucid, inspired moments productive. It’s something I should be used to, but it really is getting harder and harder. Ten years ago I would have finished proofreading it already, but I’m only a quarter of the way through.
Patience, Javier.
