Out of commission

Due to the monstrosities in my life that are called recurring sinus problems, the return of epilepsy, and the sudden onset of chronic nonstop headaches, (which is something I've never dealt with before) I have been laid up for much of the last month, particularly during Thanksgiving. During the stretch, I have felt no desire to write, no inspiration, and no energy at all. It’s been a struggle just a walk through my day. I try to apply the sensibilities of a lyric from the band Hawks and Doves, “Stop looking for a way out, try looking for a way through” so with the help and love and strength from Frani and her family, some inspirational empathy from Aidan, and the assistance of my neurologist, ENT, and my shrink, forward I shall go.

 This string of concurrent illnesses basically caused me to cut the Samhain project short, completely miss out on the gobble project, and has me basically delaying the Santa project. I hope to at least partially remedy this for anyone who gives a shit, over the next week by writing up some pieces. 

I’ll engage with Some things I've already watched, fond memories, classic holiday works of the past, and how about a change of pace with some Christmas espionage? 

 I hope to reinvigorate my blog here a little bit for those who care, and have read it, and return it back to where it was before I was beset with these belligerent health issues . I hope you join me and I hope I can at least bring back some of that holiday warmth that I gave myself, and possibly you readers in the past, with some quality entries in this blog during the current season. 

What’s left of it anyway.
