Hello!

I thought I'd write a journal quick. The plan was ("plan" in serious quotes - not regular quotes, serious ones) to ramp up production over Christmas and stay social cause I was feeling good and creative and life was going well. However, before Christmas I got sick with a miserable non,-COVID cold, and then before New Year's I got sick with another, different miserable non-COVID cold. And now I'm going through some other weird thing that I don't even know right now. You know when your body gets down and you just pick up everything? That's kind of where I'm living at the moment.

I'm going to do some reading of some stories for a while - I have enough focus to do that, at least. I have a good little stockpile built up right now. Once I'm 100% again I have several things I'm working on and will start kicking out smaller works and a few bigger ones. But I gotta get 100% again.

And that's the other thing. I'm used to mental illness. That's lovely stuff. It's predictable and controllable and treatable and overcomable. It's the physical illness that's the hard stuff. It's nothing serious or grave, but it's enough body load that it makes the little things hard. Like the difference between enjoying a TV show and just looking forward and counting down the minutes while a TV show goes on in front of you.

Anyways, enough is enough for this rant. Hope everyone had a lovely holidays! And if you're like me and you didn't, let's party when the better times arrive, shall we? Thank you and, well, life sucks sometimes so please be kind to one another.
