Rocking Along

Those of you who know me have long ago figured out that I'm having a hard time bouncing back from the art retreat - and I touched on it superficially in the Artsy Asylum blog.

Before I address the fatigue issue I want to explain why the new Backstory blog has shown up.

The simple answer is that there was already so much going on in the Artsy Asylum it seemed the logical thing to take the conversation off of there and not complicate an already "busy" appearance.

So I hit on the "backstory" idea which seemed apt given that the illnesses we deal with are generally invisible and thus in the background and some of our issues involve backs.

On fatigue, a question I've asked from is how do I have the energy to keep blogs if I'm so wiped out so often. And how is it that I can make additions to the card collection at Zazzle (where these images come from).

Some of it is because I work primarily cross-legged in my room, perched against pillows and with my handy PDA and laptop. This makes it possible to work for fifteen or twenty minutes and then zone out for a half hour before I tackle some other part of whatever I'm supposed to be doing.

More secrets to come.
