I've been feeling isolated lately. I've been laid up with first a bad back injury, then a strange painful queasiness that's made me prefer to stay asleep to avoid it (when the pain doesn't wake me up). And with my work so slow to kick into gear despite my working on it alone (so I'm basically home alone on the computer doing design research), I basically see no one. Even when I try to schedule with friends, things seem to constantly fall through. Or they just don't call back.
