Hi!

I am on the tail end of what was apparently an extremely extended case of salmonella poisoning. Fun. I had just enough cope to make it through work every day and then go home and get slept on by a cat, so I basically missed the entire month of November.

The timing of it has also given me a conditioned nausea response to mention of certain current events (altho tbf that might not be entirely the salmonella's fault) so I went mostly internet cold turkey and will probably be less around on social media for awhile yet, at least until my digestive tract and I trust each other enough to start taking risks. Right now I am just aspiring to be able to make the yuletide deadline.

I have been catching up on my fiction reading, though, so if you want proof that I'm alive I am updating Goodreads.

I had been trying to cut back on my buying of paperback novels since I don't read them as much as I did when I was younger, but then I got sick and got through two dozen of the TR pile in a month, so I guess I have to keep buying them just in case. Tragic.

That's what used book sales are for! And I bet you'd have no trouble finding people who wanted them if you didn't want to keep them. (Not that I'd know the latter from experience ... I have trouble letting go of any books ever.)

Right now alas I also have mild pavlovian nausea to anything related to any kind of food, moving around, and also waking up, so I figure I should work through those before I start trying with anything where the nausea is still justified.
