slight update
If you've been wondering what I've been doing -- I've been participating in brain injury chats, feeling not quite so alone, reading about what happened to me, and generally feeling better. I'm happy to provide a list of these resources I'm involved in, if anyone wants.
Two nights ago I went to the Austin Poetry Slam in its new venue, where I felt like a total alien and came home quickly -- after discovering I locked the keys in the Jeep. That was fun climbing through the back and retrieving them. I'm just glad I had the presence of mind to remember I could do that!
Anyway, I did some interesting & good writing at the slam -- if a bit depressed -- and I'll see if I can turn that into a real entry soon.
Oh, and the day is off to a great start -- I've been up two hours and already had two crying jags. Slept like crap last night. rhianwyn's Restless Leg Syndrome kept me up longer than I wanted, her alarm woke me up (which usually doesn't happen), phone kept ringing, etc. Plus which I kept waking myself up out of dreams for some reason. So -- if things don't get any better after I do what I gotta, then I might take a nap.
