Having a brain that needs medication to stay right makes for daily balancing acts. You really have to work to keep everything in place. Adding to this misery is the diabetes, which also requires daily attention, but refuses to do what I need it to do. Yesterday the meds failed me and I had a pretty good attack of anxiety. Numb limbs, racy heartbeat, despair, rapid mood swings, and all that. (Explains the rudeness of the post below... believe me, I restrained myself from putting up some real unfortunate stuff.)
I'm better today, and thankful that in the terrifying range of chemical imbalance, my case isn't really that bad.
But I'm slammed at school. Lucky for you, I will not be reviewing one book a week. The class formats are a bit different. You may look forward (or not) to longer papers every three or four weeks. There is more reading this time. Much more. All my extra reading assignments are early in the semester so I'm a bit overwhelmed right now and that certainly contributed to yesterday's freak out. Other things, too.
On a different note, my brother and his family are in Kenya, preparing for Namibia. He posted some photographs from the Nairobi suburb they're temporarily staying in. That's the family in the photo on top.
