Some of you may have noticed that since my last 'short' hiatus, I didn't return. There were reasons for this. The most obvious one being the sucking black pit of despair known as depression. Since my trip to the doctors last week I have been diagnosed with severe depression. I put off going a long time, thinking my desire to play would return. It didn't.
And that brings me to this. Last week my desire to play did return, I had a momentary lull in my depressive state and was around far more than usual. Except two days ago I started taking medication and am currently stuck in a (not depressed) whirling hurricane of side-effects while my body adjusts to the drugs. According to the doctor this could take up to five days. And it's pretty hard for me to do anything constructive in the meant-time. Even sitting at the computer too long makes my head ache and I get dizzy. Then next week, Lauren is coming over to visit and so I won't be around much then.
So this is pretty much an apology, for being absent so long. A notice, that I will hopefully be back to full strength in two weeks. And an announcement that I will only be playing slowtimed threads until then and actually probably pretty slowly. A big sorry to Weaves who tagged me on the lake post and I've been dreadfully slow/flakey. And a HUGE thank you, to everyone for being so patient and supportive.

In the meantime, do what you have to for you.
I know we haven't threaded together in... well ages, but I'd be happy to do so again at any time in the future. :)

Wait, can I have my cake and eat it?

Actually, just--I would say, as a random person on the internet--it's the getting on/getting off part of brain chemistry tinkering that's physically the roughest. I wish a smooth adjustment and few side effects.

Well hopefully all will go well as it's sort of like the end of my line of options at this point.
