A good day

[crowdog66]

Three days ago, my psychiatrist upped the dosage of the antipsychotic I'm taking as an adjunct to my antidepressants, from .5 mg daily to 1 mg. It might actually be working.

Today I had energy. I went to the dry cleaners, ate out, did a bit of long-overdue Christmas present shopping, sent off a money order for that statue I just purchased on eBay. Went to the grocery store and walked two blocks home afterwards while planning for the full moon ritual I'll be hosting in April. I'm feeling things -- and for the first time in a long time, it doesn't hurt to feel.

I've got some phone calls to catch up on, and a Hardy Boys cover AND a 6-page preview that NBM just dropped in my lap with an insanely tight deadline (remember what I said about them not being able to find their assholes with a flashlight and a map?), but on the whole I'm doing pretty well.

Gacked from rugimaru... but why does the scorpion look like a shrimp? 0_o?

Oh. By the way. I quoted a very short excerpt of your, er, "Strange Attractors" fic, recently, in a locked post.

Story title quoted. Location quoted. Author credited by name, LJ handle AND heaps and heaps of praise.

From ME, about a "Neo"/"Smith" fic. Will wonders never cease.


Just making sure that's still okay with you[we'd reciprocally quoted before], and maybe letting you know a quiet little piece of praise that won't mean anything to anyone reading this but you:

It was the paragraph beginning with, "She's getting away, Mr. Anderson":

and ending with "...it could be no other way."

Why?

Because in the midst of a personal crisis, you said what I wanted to say to... someone a friend of mine, far better than I ever could.


I thought you might want to know.
You probably know what that means to me.

I... wow. I am utterly amazed that you saw fit to offer praise for my work. Glad you liked it, but stunned and humbled almost to silence nonetheless. :-)

And I'm pleased that I was able to help you in some small way. Sometimes channelling those universal vibes is good for something. ^_^

BTW... *gentle poke* my other LJ handle wasn't subscribed to f_z, last time I looked. You'd mentioned that you'd get it hooked in, so... *another, even gentler poke, and a smile*
