Been thinking about how my health issues played into my screwing up, and what I can do about that, because one big issue is that I should not have been posting at all, and probably not reading either, while my brain was as fuzzy as it's been these last days ( Read more... )

thurs & fri, when I was here more & also doing otherstuff. Then I crashed. Still crashed. That is all.
