Holy shit! It's mid-March!

I've got a good degree of issues. Let's discuss.

I've always sort of catered to my un-diagnosed but overly apparent ADD. For those of you that have seen me in any sort of situation that requires an overt amount of concentration with a minimal amount of action, well, it's a crapshoot at best. My eyes glaze over. My over-active mind wanders. And the probability of imminent distraction is real and foreboding.

The other mental illness which seems "made up" but I tend to ascribe to would be Seasonal Affective Disorder. In which lack of daylight means a loss of sanity and a lack of clarity (or a heavy load of it) from the period of mid-January to right about now. I lose interest in most everything in this period of time except for eating and sleeping, then daylight comes back and I swing back into my typically smiling mode of attacking the world at large. The same ones of you who have noticed my ADD have dealt with me in this time of year and if I were you guys, I'd tell me that southern California should be in my future if I ever want anyone to love me back.

Within 48 hours of the clocks moving backward, the heaviness has lifted and I'm once again in production mode.

Back to the working thing. Compounded with my psychoses and the rather dreary winter that Colorado rained down on my parade was a rotation within my job that had me sitting in front of a screen for the great majority of daylight hours. This in turn made the idea of coming home and sitting in front of any screen feel like the worst indignity and a chore of epic proportions.

That said, I've totally slacked on my writing via computer. Here. Other places. In my personal life.

But I'm back, friends. And I'm excited to push forward into the longer and warmer days of 2010. And maybe next yr I'll go on meds and save us all the hassle.
