Two wushu lessons down, my hip really doesn't like me. Nor does my tremor. Let's not even ask my sense of balance. My worst enemy, however, is as ever my charming self, who really seems to delight in messing up the crappy easy movement I'd been practising all week as soon as something unexpected and disastrous happens, like someone else being in the room. Epic fail.

On the upside, my weight is fluctuating downwards again. I'm not doing anything different, I don't think. Maybe this amount of variance is normal.

Finally got blood tests done on Tuesday morning and, with any luck, will soon be told that something not-too-serious, easily-fixable and not-imaginary is wrong with me. Somethings suggested so far (not by medical personnel) include B12 deficiency.

The range of diseases that can cause tremors, muscle weakness and confusion includes some real nasties. If it was a choice between pansy bloodlessness on the one hand and something horrible and demyelinating or metastatising on the other, I know what I'd be hoping for. However, let's not panic just yet. Maybe it's only, er, an inner ear infection combined with spontaneous subcutaneous ice formation? Or better yet, psychosomatic and curable by teaching myself to think about butterflies or PHP.

Drupal user group meeting tonight. I'm going to ask them if what I want to do can be done with it.

From what I understand of the documentation, the most difficult thing may be that I want users with switchable sub-users [edit: expanded in next entry]

Also some features associated with collaborative authorship (such as co-written sections – ideally with the option to attribute per paragraph) and lots of other things I haven't thought of yet.

Current music: Angra, Wishing Well, in head. It's all Ayreonnish.
