aaah

I had what really felt like a terribly down two weeks, that I kept trying to ascribe to PMS. As I'm still right just before my period but feel better than I have in weeks, I think I'll say that however chemical it may have been, it wasn't that sort of chemical. Which alarms me a little.

But I sort of just keep going "aaaaah" because I feel all normal and happy again.

All certainly is not right with the world, but the pressure feels like it's let up, with the book out of my hands, the toe reduced to a dull ache I'm probably going to have to live with for a couple of months, my mom doing well and atending a party last night that made me feel like I could function in the world (parties tend to make me feel entirely the opposite).

I realize I am also going to approach writing, even fiction writing, on an assignment basis because of all that journalism training.

I also realize that no matter how much I know every dance thing ever that Gossip Girl keeps wanting I'm not P&G enough probably to work that show.

Meanwhile, while I still don't have Philcon details for anyone:
