Bio
PLEASE read at least the top half of my userinfo/profile before adding me or commenting on my journal.

© All rights are hereby reserved on anything found within this journal be it in my entries or in the comments.

This journal is for me to write and/or link what I want to write/read. If you find it interesting that is all well and good.

I knit, take photographs, read, write and play World of Warcraft (WoW) dependent on my health on any particular day. I have multiple sclerosis, PCOS and also depression. Much of the time, though, I am pretty much fine.

My journal is often totally public and revealing. Feel free to read but please do not use it as a venue for flame-wars and arguments - take those elsewhere.

There is more information about me below the contact details link.

Contact details (friends-only).

– I am married to [info]neilf.
– I have two cats, Pixel and Smudge, who keep me sane and alive. ;-)
– I have M.S. (Multiple Sclerosis).
– I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
– I may have ADD - I display many of the characteristics.
– I have other 'baggage' as well...
– I am signed off unfit to work indefinitely because of the M.S.
I am dairy and wheat intolerant. I have problems eating chilli as well as large quantities of citrus fruit, tomatoes and onions.

The English to American Dictionary

Second stanza quoted from "Traveling Dream" by Marge Piercy because it sums up my life:
 Secretly the clock is bolting
forward ten minutes at a click
instead of one. Each time
I look away, it jumps.

A week ago feels like a minute ago and something my alarm reminded me to do an hour ago feels like one second ago. Maybe this explains why I forget everything - it is more that I know I still have ages until a deadline that has already passed me by.
