I have been pretty quiet about additional news since my post at the start of May, but I finally have enough definitive information to provide an update. If you are interested, you can find the update here.

May 19, 2020 - Just a Quick Note

I wanted to thank all of you for your love and support during this trying time. Words cannot express how much it means to me to have such a phenomenal community in my corner, as it were, during all of this. Treatments continue to go well, and while the side-effects are ... not fun ... I am managing well, and the prognosis is very, very good.

Insomnia is, sadly, very much a thing right now. It is partly due to nausea as the final bit of the chemo slowly drains from my system. (The radiation continues through the end of the month before a surgery decision sometime next month.) It is also due to the fibro sleep issues, and the RA, and so on and so on.

I have been trying to find creative ways to do something with the sleepless times, instead of just flopping and flailing about trying to convince both body and brain that it is sleep time. This m*rning, that productive time turned into a bit of a clean-up of one of my first-ever short stories -- a tale about a young barbarian shamaness of Norrath. Now that it is cleaned up a little, I give you Spiritdance.
