Waaah!

My Spethan fic? Stalling. And not because of Ethan, no. I seem to have lost my ability to write Spike. *bangs head on desk*
Outside, the sun is shining. Spring is in the air. I'm in a good mood, but clumsy and lethargic. My blood pressure is so low, it's almost non-existent. I'm guessing it's round about 60/80. I have a doctor's appointment for next week. It's time I got my Thyroid examined again. Several years back a slight insufficiency wasn diagnosed, one that the doctors decided needn't be treated.
Will not eat tons of chocolate. Will take a nap now.

He's sulking because you've neglected him for so long.

I'm right with you on the lethary. Mine's not thyroid, though, it's lungs. I'm avoiding going to the medic to have them checked. Last time I did that, I came away with a diagnosis of hypertension. Doctors are to be avoided - they diagnose things. ;)

Hey - maybe we should book into a health farm together and work at getting back into Spike-writing mode in comfort.

Yeah, I think you're right about that. I feel like I'm slowly drifting away from the Buffyverse and from its characters, as well as away from fandom...

I just hope that by tomorrow morning I will be able to take a fresh look at my story and that I'll get Spike to just talk his way through the scene...

*sigh*

Have a nice weekend.

That sounds like a very healthy thing to be doing, actually. It's almost a year since we lost the Verse. My 3 month absences in France make it much easier for me. I go through all the withdrawal symptoms away from the Net. I've become somewhat of a James fan since Halloween Con (much to my great surprise) and was looking forward to seeing him in different roles. However, with the recent talk about the possibility of a Spike movie, I'm still hanging in there for the character. Some part of me is hoping for a little something Spikey to look forward to when I return to UK in the Autumn.

Good luck with the medic. Hope there is a quick fix for you. Are you sure the lethargy isn't part of the depression? Give St John's Wort a try. it works for me.

I am taking magnesium and St. John's Wort every day. *sigh*

My writing is tied to fandom, so without a certain fandom generated enthusiasm I find it hard to write. *sigh*

Sorry to hear your Spike muse has buggered off, and you feel crap. I've got a bit of an underactive thyroid problem too. Mine can't be treated as my inflamed bladder won't let me take any med's, so I'm a bit stuffed really. I'm just hoping it doesn't get much worse or I'm royally buggered.

If you have got worse on that front it'll be an easy fix for you though. Just take the meds and you'll be right as rein!

*nod* it would be nice if I could blame some of my lethargy on my thyroid. I would love an easy fix in the shape of meds.

Have a good weekend. *hug*
