[3rd rock]

Some good news. There's been a development in my case with my employer, and I may be returning to work as soon as Monday the 16th. That specific date may be unlikely, but at least it gives me a concrete date to look forward to, instead of just having to look into an indefinite future. Besides that, I'm working on my writing and trying to go for walks, although the rainy winters around here make walks substantially less pleasant than in the summer. I'm working on my writing, although progress is inconsistent.

People who've never had it can never really understand in a personal, visceral way how it feels like. It's an insidious disease that destroys lives but you can never 'get it' from just reading about it or even listening to someone talk about their experiences with it.
