...which is an autoimmune disorder that causes hypothyroidism, which basically explains all my health issues lately. At the very least, I'm on the recovery trail - I've had the official diagnosis since December, and even had a biopsy (which involved them sticking a needle into my neck, which was interesting to say the least since I was numbed but

I've started writing a script for Anything But Quiet on the Western Front. A real script.
This story is actually happening now. It's been in my head since I was a junior in high school. I'm not fully sure how this happened, but this is being written and will therefore soon be drawn.
I can't believe that I'm actually writing these things I thought I'd

My brother was home for the weekend from college because he needed to de-stress. When you're studying engineering, that's occasionally necessary. It was really, really nice to have him home for a bit. I miss him already.
Hurricane Sandy is now closing in on my part of the country. Although I won't be taking the brunt of her force, I know plenty of

I have spent the better part of today actually working on Anything But Quiet On The Western Front.
I have no idea whatsoever as to why or what prompted this, but I'm fairly excited that I'm figuring things out and moving forward with that. I'm still fully planning for Londinium to be released first, of course, but I'm going to do a timeline from

I really don't know what's gotten into me, because I

Worked on my redraft of Londinium today. Charlie and Robert are becoming friends in said redraft. This is an unexpected development, but it's a strangely cute friendship so far.
Today in therapy I had a nice, long talk with my therapist about how far I've come in terms of accepting myself. I've finally started seeing myself as pretty when I look in the mirror and I've started to take care of myself physically as well (namely because I don't like being sick, but also so I look presentable at work and in my daily life).

Life's been pretty busy lately, to be honest. It's rare that I get a moment to sit down (except on Mondays because Mondays are Top Gear days and nobody is allowed to interrupt me on Mondays). I've gotten some stuff done, though, which is exciting!
I went for my first job training session today...and I really, really liked it. I'm super-excited about finally having some sort of work, and it's even better considering I'm happy with it! (I'll be a tour guide here part-time.)
I'm also completely healthy again, which is a huge relief. I was so mad about being sick for two or three days just
