Interesting how the speakers in the US protests right now are surrounded by hundreds of people WITHOUT a glass barrier. Our "presidents" would never be brave enough to do that.

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging: 1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal. 2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

Question for my readers. Are you all sticking with using Kindle Unlimited or are you moving away from Amazon? Please be safe out there.

I'm sorry I'm so quiet. I wish I could hang out like I used to. I miss it. 🤒

Looks like I'll only be shopping local from now on... why do people need to be such assholes?

I've been editing an old series to maybe release this year. It's very slow going, but it gives me something to do between flare-ups. I plan to consolidate pen names as I don't have the energy to manage them at the same time. I hope you guys don't mind having cozy romance and pnr together. 💕 you.

Wishing you all a happy and safe holiday season. I'll see you all in the New Year.

Short update, EEG came back normal. No seizures were caught during the test. Which is good (to a point) as it can't answer what's going on with me outside of that window. So now I'm off my meds to see if it stops the hallucinations and such from happening.

Woke up at 5 this morning with a story idea I had to write down. Thing is, it would involve three women as my couple/thrupple, and I'm not sure if I want to deal with all of those moving parts. Too many mental gymnastics for me, I think. Still a neat idea, though.

Short health update: I might be having seizures when I sleep. I'm currently talking future steps with my docs to see if it's seizure related or a side effect from my meds. Thing is, I don't have pain. It's just a weird shape/hallucination and some near fainting episodes. *shrugs*

Hello to all the new follows! Sorry I'm not too active as of late. Personal health has me just taking things one day at a time. I just picked up a new coloring book, so I think I'll focus on that. Please look after your mental health.

I am so sorry. That's all I have the energy to say. J and i did our part in PA. I didn't realize how infected my state was.

Still here, just cheering you all on from the sidelines. Health is down, but there isn't much I can do but wait and keep my therapy appointments. I hope you all are well. Happy spooky season.

Was just told to stop taking the med I started last week due to high heartrate spikes. I'll see what my doc says when I see her next week. Maybe something will work better.

I wrote today. It wasn't much, but I added a few details to something I started last fall. I'm exhausted now, of course, and in pain (eyes have a hard time focusing), so I probably overdid it. But I'm still trying. I miss writing so much.

Day 2 on new meds. It's been weird so far. It makes me tired but gives me false energy, I'm hungry but not, I have chills, dizzy, lightheaded, feeling even more out of it... BUT (and this is a big but) it isn't nearly as terrible as the last med I tried. It's too soon to be hopeful, but... yeah

Just giving another update. I've started taking some new depression meds today. Hoping maybe they can help, or prove to my docs that something else is going on. I am so sorry for not writing/publishing. All of the med stuff uses the little energy I have. Hope you're well.

This week is 'Kissing in the rain' week for Jae's sapphic book bingo. Alpha's Choice is just one of the cozy, amazing titles you can pick up, so be sure to check them all out. jae-fiction.com/kiss-in-the-...

Had a sleep study & mslt done. Told I have insomnia at night and hypersomnia during the day (like narcolepsy but different). However, because I have lifelong depression, it's probably just that... It couldn't possibly have anything to do with fibro pain or my cfs. Right... I hate specialists.

Health update: finished iron infusions today, numbers are going up but still feel like shit. Brain mri from before was white matter disease (getting old) and we'll recheck in a year for possible MS. Checked cardio, heart is good. Saw pulmonology today. Sleep study pending.

Happy pride to all of the wonderful peoples out there. Sorry I'm late and haven't been around. Lots going on. I'll update soon.

Health update: -borderline low ferritin. Start iron infusions next week. - brain MRI shows two lesions that are nonspecific. Waiting to hear back from neuro on what the cause (according to her) might be (migraines, Lyme, MS etc).

Health update: So far, we know I have CFS, binocular vision dysfunction, and fibro. I'll be getting a brain mri this week to rule other things out. See a hematologist tomorrow due to low blood levels. Hope you all are well.

Health update: the fatigue from my CFS is getting worse. I've also started having neuro symptoms such as burning and pain in my arms and legs, so in addition to waiting on a 2nd opinion from another rheumatologist, I'm now waiting to see neuro as well. I miss writing and you guys so much.

That's the second earthquake I ever remember feeling. Apparently it was a 4.8 and about a mile away from Tewksbury NJ. Hope everyone is safe.

Months ago, I told J I want to go to the zoo for my birthday. I thought I had autistic burnout and that I would improve with rest. My birthday is this weekend. We'll maybe take a short walk, then that's it. I can't read. I can barely write or play games. Rest is all I can do.

Something that'll be of interest to many readers: romantasy by trans fem authors! All except Calyx Charm are lesbian.

My rheumatologist confirmed my doctor's diagnosis. I have CFS. I don't know what to do right now. I'm so crushed.

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates. I hope it's a great one.

I was able to get in with a rheumatologist next week re: my CFS or possibly a different autoimmune disease. Needles to say, I'm nervous and a bit scared. Anyone have any reassuring stories they can share?

Went to the doc on Thursday. Just got a call at home with a possible CFS diagnosis. Can't get in to see a specialist until June. Sorry for the long break/wait between stories, everyone. Hope you all are well.

Still alive, still taking a break as I try to figure out this chronic fatigue. I have a doctor's appointment later this week, so hopefully she'll take it seriously. Hoping you all are well. Stay warm and be kind to each other.

Man, I haven't hyper focused like that in a long time. Shame it was on tax prep instead of a new story idea (the well is dry ATM) but at least I have everything in order. Less stress on my plate. How is your week going?
