I am so exhausted yet I am supposed to be finishing a writing exercise due in little over two hours and I am so tired I can't think of what to write. Ugh!
I a working on chugging an energy drink but it's just not helping. I am just not waking up. I'm also a little chilled where I'm at so it's possible my body is trying to hibernate.... Yes, I tend to shut down when I'm cold. Weird, right?
Well I don't know what to do right this moment. I may go try to get my circulation moving and get some sugary snack in a feeble attempt to boost my energy. But that's about all I can think of.
What do you do when you're in my situation?

#Out
I have been unable to post for awhile now, and fair warning right now that I am going to be unable to post anything else for the time being. My health is on a nice spin-out (if that's even a phrase), and it's not looking to hopeful thus I'm more than likely going to be out of commission for a few.
Don't worry people, I am fine; I'm not dying— I certainly don't need any new organs or the like. I've 'just' been dealing with rotating painful migraines and fibrofog about every 3 hours; basically when I'm not in pain I'm unable think (or read, or write). And I don't have many clarity-filled moments except when I first wake up from sleeping or a nap, or after I finish eating...that's about it. Somehow my professor's are impressed that I've managed to stay on top of my work. But that's about all I can do, and even then I feel like I'm 100 yards behind all the other students, doing my work buried underground, breathing dirt, and blind.
Still, I've got to say I'd much rather be like this than how I was over the course of the last 3 months when one of my many doc's and I tried a new drug (new to me, not to the rest of the world). It was supposed to be in my system for 3 months and wear off on its own. I admit it worked alright on the account of I didn't have a single migraine or a fibrofog episode for that entire time...but there was the down fall of a 3 month bout of apathy and depression, which might have been seen on my sporadically tracked blog. I cared about nothing. I loved nothing. At least since the drug has worn off (as of the beginning of January) I care that I'm in pain. At least I am able to love the people around me even if I can't verbalize it. (Fibrofog renders me unable to communicate.)
Well, that's my update. I generally don't like to write about my health issues—I admit I like keeping them in the dark. But simultaneously there's something freeing about writing about this, about just being 'out' with it.
P.s.: I'm getting a weird sense of deja vu...did I write about something like this before?

Finally! A New Post & A New Quote
I have been "off my game" so to speak from a three month-long medication dosage that caused horrible apathy and depression, until rather recently when it at last wore off. As a result I have finally added a new quote of the month (December's missing 'piece' will be available under the usual quote spot). In addition I feel I should apologize for making this month's quote so atrociously huge. I have no way of shrinking this unless I completely want to do it over as I create these looks myself, and I don't have any interest. Hopefully you all can deal with the abrasive largeness of this month's quote. Honestly, it has already started to grow on me...almost.
With that said: I don't have any helpful tips for ya'll just yet considering I'm finally now getting back in the swing of things. Hopefully I haven't lost any of you readers in this very long process, or will lose any of you while I work on getting other 'blog stuff' up and running again. For those of you sticking around I thank you deeply and sincerely for your patience.
Now it's personal update time:
I'm going to start a bullet/2018 goals journal that will (hopefully) help me stay on track regarding my 2018 birthday/shared New Year's resolutions. I also got THE perfect traveler's mug (becuase I surprisingly don't have one!)
It's a combo of all my favorite things! Photography, editing, and spring (very floral). I'm super happy with it, even if it's not exactly centered directly towards writing. But I'm not going to look at it like that. Want your own #EditingDay gear? Follow the #'s for the Amazon links below ! And yes, some of it actually IS geared SPECIFICALLY towards writing and not just for photography buffs. Since I happen to be both.... But like I said, find your own style today!
#AmazonEditingDayGear
I don't have much more to say. And I have to begin brainstorming for a short story I have to write by Wednesday for my workshop/writing class...and read the material for that day too...yeah, I need to get on that, so I'm signing off.
P.s.: It feels really, REALLY great to write on my blog again! 💖💻
(And on my new laptop too, lol).
Bye, now!

Happy New Year!!
Well it's now 2018...that doesn't seem possible. A lot of new changes have taken part in my life... I don't wish to get overly personal here, but my am I happy!
As it is the New Year one massive cliche that's out there is Resolutions. Unlike basically everyone out there I don't create these for the new year holiday but on every birthday, then share them with others on the new year. I have my reasons for this but I don't wish to get sidetracked now by explaining what these are. So as per my personal tradition here are my goals and resolutions:
1. Stay serious about creating a space for Brigid; she's a goddess of Ireland pre-Catholicism with an interesting web of religious from shamanism, paganism, Christianity, Catholisicm, etc. And I want to combine these together
2. Look for job/internship/volunteer position. I need money and want money; tired of being unable to contribute in my household other than being a student. However I also want to contribute to the world (via volunteering), and my future career (by getting an internship). I don't see myself being able to do all three. Hell, I'll realistically be able to only do one of these things
3. Edit 10-15 pages every other day of Shattered Lives. (Super goal is 20 pages)
4. Write 10-15 pages every other day of Changing Kathryn. (Super goal is 20 pages)
5. Limit book research to 30-35 minutes
--TBC--
So those are some of my resolutions/goals to start. I'm still working on some, and have a few other, more personal goals I don't feel I should post here. But this is a good start. Share any of your less-personal or writing/reading goals if you have any!
