@bpcyclist: I look forward to reading your book!

@MarcusAurelius: Glad your tacos turned out and sorry you had to hear such a stupid comment. Nice to hear from you tho!

I'm doing okay. Getting out to the mall to people-watch and spending long Winter evenings with my dog watching TV. I've started a new book by my favorite author and it's achingly beautiful. Having trouble showering again but i bought a nice purple Winter hat so there's that. Figure i'll try to go to Scrabble regularly and study and play online as doing something i'm good at will boost my confidence. Tried a Master Class in creative writing with Joyce Carol Oates and my work read like the fillers in Reader's Digest! Oh well. Some shame stings, berating myself for outrageous things i said or did while hypo-manic which is not great but it's tolerable. Have abandoned Overeaters Anonymous (OA) because it was just making me feel bad about myself and i already have enough of that. Winter is here.
