I just wanted to apologize for not responding to some people who've IM'd me or sent emails to me over the last few weeks. I can't spend much of any time online to answer people so I was hoping I could just send this one message and hopefully most of y'all will see it. As a couple of you know, I've been struggling with health problems for some time and have been getting sicker and sicker over the last few months. At the moment I'm being treated for 3rd stage Lymes Disease and am just too sick to function, even in a half-assed way. The neurological impairment - no memory, lack of concentration and ability to focus, trouble comprehending what I'm reading, reversing words, letters, numbers.... - make it a extemely difficult to think, write emails, etc. I last about 4 or 5 minutes on here at a time and that's about it. PLEASE don't be pissed at me if I haven't responded to something or it seems like I'm ignoring things - I'm not. It's been nagging at me and I've been upset about wanting to communicate and not having the energy to. How I EVER managed to spend 24 hours at that Fest is beyond me. (Actually, it was drugs -- pure and simple. LOL) Anyway, the huge doses of antibiotics I'm having to take now are making me much worse (it's some kind of die-off response) and I'm totally useless. Hopefully it won't be too long before all this starts to turn around for me 'cause my life is a total nightmare and I'm miserable. Please forgive my inattention to stuff.
Just a couple of things:
Thanks Annie, for the nice IM you sent me a couple of weeks ago or whenever it was.
You too Cassandra -- I also was really disappointed I missed you at the Fest.
Also wish I'd been able to meet Castlebee and a few others.
I've really enjoyed the Fest pictures people have been posting - Castlebee's website (love it), Midnite's Lyndhurst pictures, Heather's Grayson artwork and posts in general (Heather, you kill me), and everything else.
Also, someone asked me to send them Selby pictures I took and I couldn't find the memory card I'd used at the Fest for the past couple of weeks, and just found it yesterday. NOW, I can't remember who asked, so if you're out there, email me again.
So this post isn't a total waste and completely OT, here's a picture I took of you-know-who at the Fest shortly before I left. (Hey....if I'm standing next to David Selby and just don't give a crap and want to go home, you KNOW I'm sick) LOL
PS Love you Steve
