This is the first day I’ve taught a class since shifting to the higher dosages of the medications.
I’ve been having a disconcerting side effect: forgetting words halfway through sentences, I stand like a dope and stumble until I get them back.
And sometimes, I don’t get them back.
I managed to get through this session with minimal disruption because I put together a version of the session that included a lot of small group activities, so I wasn’t talking non-stop.
I made it through ok, I guess…the evaluations look no different than they usually do, at any rate.
But this had better get better soon, or else I don’t know what I’ll do.

And, you, dear sir, will be ok too.
February 18th, 2004 at 11:17 pm
I read this kind sir. I read both your journals and your gotpoetry articles. I know when you are sleeping, and I know when you’re awake. I know if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake…
Isaac
P.S. Thanks for your supportive words, I will be ok.

Hey. Faithful reader here, but you knew that. Been in a world of my own a bit lately, with many demanding things sitting on my shoulders.
But I love you very much. Don’t ever think otherwise. Damn it.

@$#%! I must’ve missed the memo.

Maybe we ARE banded together in silence, but we just don’t know it because no one’s talking…

Re: Another silent lurker
Thanks, Karrie — and good luck to your husband there; my wife’s also a business owner, and that whole solo-entrepreneur thing is always scary, regardless of discipline…

Another silent lurker
I read faithfully, but seldom comment. I should do so more often. Hang in there and best of luck to you, Tony.

Lurkers of the world unite!
Or we could just keep skulking in the shadows. We’re good at that. Also, we’re not so much at the banding-together-in-solidarity-of-being-quiet. There are communication problems.

Thank you for reaffirming my suckiness. I feel validated.
February 18th, 2004 at 9:15 pm
exactly my point! 😉
February 18th, 2004 at 9:05 pm
Maybe “reacting” is what I mean…
Come to think of it, I don’t comment all that often either. I suck.
February 18th, 2004 at 8:55 pm
it’s true.
February 18th, 2004 at 8:46 pm
I find that a lot less people comment than read.
February 18th, 2004 at 7:59 pm
thanks…
You know, I swear sometimes you’re the only person reading this.

Sounds rough, hang in there. You always do.
