Finally fell asleep at about 3 in the morning and was able to sleep until 10, or so, so, that is good. Almost done editing book and so, pulled out my novel, which is finished, but has not been looked at in months, due to illness. Got a fair amount done on the edit of that and am mostly pleased with it. it was a lot of work to write that book. It's about a guy with an ill-defined, undiagnosed mental illness that causes visions, all of which come true, most of them, potentially disastrous. It is based on my own life experience. He develops some cool superpowers and becomes an unconventional sort of superhero. It is called Serotonin Man.

Writing is very good for me and for my illness. So, it is very good that I have enough ability to do that work.


On the other hand, I need to get out and exercise, but I am too paranoid and afraid to leave my apartment. Embarrassing, but true. Just can't leave because these people will enter my apartment and go through my stuff. I just can't have that. But I really, really need to exercise and besides, it is gorgeous today and all the flowers are blooming. I know I would feel better if I could just do it, but my paranoia has me paralyzed again, hunkered down for days like some kind of creation of Hunter S. Thompson.


So, I might try to get the courage. Maybe, if the neighbor/spy people are quiet and not bothering me too much, I might be able to remain fairly under control and do it. I will try, it's all I can do.

Love and peace and hugs to all!!!!!!!!!!
