SADish

[talktooloose]

Life is definitely good these days, but January is more challenging than usual. I want to sleep all the time, aches and pains are more accute and Snake and I lose our temper with each other more easily.

We had a big fight before he went to work last Friday and we both spun into depression for a few hours. When he came home that afternoon he said, "I was thinking of not coming home at all!"

"Where would you have gone?" I asked.

He thought about it for a minute. "I dunno. Your parents' house?"

("I've left that bastard of a son of yours! What's for dinner?")

I laughed at the running off to the in-laws but hope things are better now. I'm sorry but I had an unexpectedly busier weekend than I thought I would and didn't get to beta work or writing my own stuff at all. If it's still in need of beta, I'll try to do your chapter today or tomorrow.

Thanks, yes it would be helpful. I can't get to the chapter myself until Wednesday, but would love to have a beta by then if you can swing it.

Yes, we're fine, thanks. We can be very quarrelsome. It's always been that way, though we're good at cutting through manipulative bullshit and coming to positive resolutions. We're both temperamental types, but I guess we must love each other, because we keep coming back for more!

I started Ch. 30 yesterday and also did a new mapping-out doc of the rest of the book. Thirty-five chapters sounds right, I think. Home stretch!

To argue is to care.

And care loudly.

SAD's something I'm trying to deal with, too; I'm sorry that you're going through it.

I think giving myself a little bit of a break and permission to sleep during the day is good. However, I'm feeling the physical stress of not exercising enough, so I have to go for more power walks even when my brain says "rest, rest".

It's a balance.

I think that society puts pressure on us to perform at the same level all year around. This is not necessarily reasonable.

Hope you feel better soon!
