State of the Me

Because I haven't actually been terribly communicative of late.

I am muddling through. Basically sort of took a week off and mostly tried to avoid feeling guilty about not really accomplishing much. Spent much of it being not quite sick, which has been maddening, but my appetite seems to have come back so it may be improving. Spent other parts of it sort of tied up in emotional tangles that it has been gently pointed out to me should not be hurting me, and that's been its own kind of interesting. Been doing a fair amount of essaying babble elsewhere. Continuing to continue.

Coming a bit out of shell now. Enforced some tidiness on the house, did a bunch of laundry, and with [livejournal.com profile] whispercricket and [livejournal.com profile] teinedreugan's assistance, made ice cream, thereby verifying that the ice cream maker works just fine. Working on patterns and establishing self properly, which eats vast amounts of processor time.

[livejournal.com profile] queenofhalves: got the Daimon Lover book you recommended to me a year and a half ago at last.

ETA: 1036 words. Chapter 3.25 written. Convinced snakie to take his mousie even though he's blue.

"Should not be hurting you" sounds as though it could be either profoundly unhelpful, or a way of shaking yourself loose from someone else's entanglements. (There are people whose tangles are likely to hurt me for reasons that I consider plausible, and others that I have found myself trying to detach myself from. Watching from a distance doesn't always work; sometimes I have to walk away, close that browser window, ask not to be told the latest bit of the gossip.)
