Current reading: The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness

Current reading. It dropped on my Kindle at midnight, though I was asleep soon after. Now three chapters through, and enjoying it. It's book 5 in Deborah Harkness's "A Discovery of Witches" series of books. I also have a signed copy coming from Toppings. I'm not going to rush reading it, and will savour it.

More sedation

So phenomenally sedated at the moment - this has been going on for many weeks in the latest bout, but recurring for many years, if not decades. It's like I've taken a strong tranquilliser. And as if there's a curtain shutting down in my brain. I finally struggle up for dinner, very sleepy, then back to bed after. Thank goodness I don't have much to do! I do have a game to finish off for IFComp in the next few weeks. But that is final polishing. I started coding early for very good reason ... But yup, could do without this.

And yes, we know why this happens to me, with my progressive neurological disease and also recurring post Covid vaccine neuro flares. Throwing more treatment at it doesn't seem to help. It's just where I am, and it's getting worse. But hey, lucky to be here after 30 years of this. Just don't want to sleep all the time ...
