Take care of Yous.
P.S. To find most of these songs (plus some others, and in a totally random order) try this list, though I hear people not Stateside have issues??

But everybody else is doing it!
As you may or may not know, I have bouts of extreme depression and anxiety. Many authors do, I think. I'm not implying that you have to have a mental illness to be a writer (though there are The Jokes), but I do personally believe there might be a correlation between creatively-brained people and mental illness.
At any rate, I've got it, a mental illness issue.Those come with medication issues. You know how people are always talking about, "getting the right meds cocktail,? That's a real thing, a concerning thing, and it's a toughie. Mine has been, and it's not even fully fixed, yet.
As an author, this means I usually feel one of four thing
Tap, Tap, Tippity Tap
I tap things . . . objects. When I set them down, or place them on another surface, especially when it's work-related. I've been doing it since forever ago, when I worked at one of the--then--last surviving Movie Gallery places. It's my boss, Courtney's, fault, because she did it first, and I glommed onto the habit when she first trained me to enter returned movies into the computer, or re-shelve them. She tapped, I tapped, we both tapped. Maybe to make sure the case was closed properly, or to make sure the case was all the way back on the shelf; whatever reason. It's completely unconscious.
Now I tap things as I organize them. If I'm separa
It's Been so Long . . . .
I don't remember how to write a submission. I have some new ideas, for something entirely different from my lovely Dionadir and Joss's story, but for Now, I have to re-learn how to even show them to you, aside from an overly long journal post.
Can I just say, mental illness is a bitch? Finding the right cocktail to help rather than cause more problems, now THAT'S a challenge. It was a looooooong challenge.
Please raise your hand if you're still with me.
Thank you, and, as always, take care.
Amethyst
You have no idea.
The child who was before pretty much toddler adorable excellence has sort of skyrocketed into Ridiculously Beautiful and Photogenic. I think I'll take a bit of time to show you, forthwith.
Get excited.

I do not think this Journal showed up in my message center. :\
I got your email, and I promise I'll reply to both this and that tomorrow when my eyes aren't being weighed down by a severe need to sleep. A lot's been going on and I think my thoughts will probably unwind into just funny little incoherent patterns of words if I try to write them all down right now. But I promise I'll reply soon
