On the 10th of December 2024 at about 4pm in the afternoon I had a sudden shivering attack. The room wasn't cold, but I was, so I took to bed and shivered on the electric blanket until I napped for a few hours.
Woke up groggy, and never got better. Feeling light headed and occasionally dizzy and half stoned all the time. Can't handle booze or dope at all any more. Doing the job feels like trying to program drunk, concentration shot and short term memory failing.
Various doctors have ordered batteries of tests and put me on drugs to reduce my blood pressure but nothing that's really helped.
They did an MRI last week. Apparently everything looks normal which is good I guess, but still leaves symptoms unexplained.
There are worse fates than feeling half drunk all the time I suppose.
Given no visible brain damage, about the best suggestion anyone has is to stay off booze and drugs (which is easy, since I can't handle them any more) and get back to meditation. If it's damage so small the MRI can't pick it up it'll get better slowly probably. 🤷
Anyway, they gave me the MRI data upon request, so I spent most of yesterday importing it into Blender and making some visualization.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present: My apparently completely normal brain in an MRI selfie.

I have taken to looking for Copilot AI in GitHub responses before filing issues. If it’s there, I don’t file. Feeling a bit validated here:

It’s roughly what we spent on our wedding (the 2nd for both of us), which was basically that in 1999. Less than a dozen F&F in attendance.
It’s not even much less than was spent on my first wedding in ’87, but that’s a lot of inflation ago. We got the space for free because we both worked at the site and the reception was just cake and coffee.

Now I’m on MIRAC’s mailing list, so hopefully I don’t miss the next one.
Also, though…it is just deeply heartening to randomly encounter a protest: not a thing that I already knew about, but a thing that just •showed up• in my neighborhood. It makes me feel like the circle of resistance is much bigger than my own little circle. And it is.
That’s the feeling I want us to create: “Wow, these protests are everywhere.”
