I have been on an unannounced and unplanned hiatus (as in definition 2a above) from my blog, project and artwork in general for sometime now.

I have suffered from chronic migraine since I was a child. I go through cycles where they are better or worse. I am currently in a cycle where they are much worse. I realized during this cycle that I no longer remember what it was like to be completely free of them or the fear that one was just around the corner.

I’m working with my Doctor, several actually, to adjust my medication and treatment options to try to get things back under control. But in the meantime I’m working at diminished capacity. I’ve adjusted to this over the years – otherwise my life would have had to stop. It’s like when your old desktop would go into safe mode, you shut down some systems to keep core activities functioning. But there are some things that are just not doable in this state: artwork and prolonged time on-line among them.

So for now I am concentrating my energies on getting well, day to day life and obligations, and preparing for the move. I will expand out from there as things improve.
