Awake again, and staring down the twin barrels of Girl Genius. Last night I curled up with my head in George's lap and let him talk me through the worst of my panic. Three pages a week. Don't look at it as an overwhelming avalanche of painting, but in small simple increments. I can do this.
Today I'll do flats and true colors (as much as I can) on the next set of three pages. I've got about a two-week lead on them at this point, so I can breathe somewhat easy.
The question of whether or not to go back to Ipsos is a different story. I'm seeing my psych doc on May 16th for another evaluation. Am I ready to go back to Ipsos? Possibly: the Remeron/Effexor/Risperdol combo seems to have elevated and stabilized my mood to the point where every second of wakefulness is a lot less like breathing ground glass than it used to be. Can I go back to Ipsos? Right now, with Girl Genius to the right of me and Hardy Boys coming up on my left side, I just can't afford 21 hours carved out of my freelance work week (which is the minimum commitment Ipsos demands). At the same time, Ipsos = security and a set income per month, which the freelance life does not promise.
Thank you all for listening as I chew over problems that are perfectly ordinary. And thank you all for your kind words of support in the past, as well as your patience.

**NL wanders over**
Oy... **Gugs her pal** I'm glad things are better for you medically. GG... eep! I could never work that much! I'm glad you and George have the endurance!
