So next week, I'm helping my friends get ready for their wedding (including moving stuff), and the week after that I'm looking at houses. Also, next week, I am speaking at both the wedding and reception, and singing at the former.

This, of course, explains why I have picked up a cold that has caused me to lose most of my voice, and why a week and a half ago an old knee injury got bad enough to cause me to consult a doctor, who told me that I probably have a torn meniscus, and may require surgery. In the meantime, walking or standing for more than a few minutes at a time is somewhat awkward and painful, and sitting down doesn't help much either.

*sigh* Couldn't these things have waited a couple of months?
