I'm glad you're back to normal. I did wonder about the book you were reading.. did you rewrite the ending?

Pat

Thank you Pat, I needed that compliment from a cute little chickie.  I've bottled up the meanness again, but I certainly felt hopeless when I wrote it.  The good point was that I did write it.  I'm feeling a lot better today, and have foresworn Tylenol; I didn't know it built up in the liver!  btw, do you see the glimmer of a mystery book plot in the post?

Concussion? Could be. Meanness coming out? Doubtful.

Take it easy with that Tylenol, tho'.  It builds up in the liver and can be dangerous.  And the others are right. Your writing is completely cogent and logical and I can almost feel your "what's the point?" despair.

Reminds me of Tweety Bird in that old cartoon, got a glimpse of himself in a shimmering pond, and went around saying "oh, boy, am I ugly," -- jumping between two pieces of bread, trying to get the cat to eat him... And like Tweety who cheered up completely when another little yellow chickie said "You're so cute," you felt better when Ell gave you the word...

It was?  I thought it was awful as I wrote it, Justi, but I'll accept the compliment gratefully.  Thank you.

TAPS
Thank you TAPS.  I am beginning to look around me with interest and optimism again, but my fingers are still dyslexic.  I hated where I was and I have no wish to go back.

Concussion or not it has had no adverse effect on your writing. This is so good. Hope you're feeling better soon.

I am so glad that you are making a return to the land of the living and that Ell is there still waiting for you.
