Fuzziness and the Novel

Things in life lately have been going real well. My regimen of Lexapro is interesting to say the least. For one, I conitnually feel different. I wonder if the feeling will become permanent? In some ways, I'm worried that by feeling so differently that I'm losing some aspects of my personality. I haven't been depressed, but I find myself pretty lethargic and my thoughts don't come as quick anymore. If anything, it could put a damper on creative energies that I used to have come so easily.

The feeling is much different than the feelings of going on estrogen the first time. Estrogen never felt different, it's just that the effects of it were different. I've loved everything that estrogen has helped with over the years. Since going on the injectible form, the changes were much more pronounced.

Lately, I've been working hard on my book's outline. The story has to be mostly re-written, but it's going to be so much for the better. There are a lot of twists and turns that should make the novel quite memorable. I've also done a large revamp of the history and language of my place which will be essential to making the world "come alive". It was really neat to come up with events that might happen to a medieval society over 700 or so years and create various rulers and what happened during their reign--from plagues to floods, to desertification and mining issues, to various games and pasttimes people would have. It's really exciting building this.

Life!

Things have been rpetty well for the past few weeks. The medication I have been taken is very interesting. For one, it has calmed me some and givesme this peculiar fuzzy feeling. It's difficult to describe, but it feels kinda neat....I guess it's a very mild, happy buzz type of feeling.

Otherwise, work has been a flurry of activity. We got a new library system in which has been very challenging to get to work properly. It seems like there are lots of fires to put out ever day in getting things fixed. Hopefully things will calm down, but for now, things are pretty edgy!

Last week we had a horrible storm which took our power out for 14 hours! It was rather crazy. It happened at around 10:30 in the evening and our power was out until noon the next day. Thankfully, our fridge has a nice seal on it so nothing spoiled. It was so surreal and beautiful going to sleep hearing nothing but the rain and everything in the house was so quiet.

My book has mutated into a new and more exciting route. I'm having a bit of difficulty restarting it, but when it comes to, it will be a much more exciting version that the one I had planned.
