Jennifer says "Thankyou" to everyone...

May we continue to be the Yang to your Yin.

Hey, how are you doing, anyway? We haven't heard any news from you since last month (aside from the comics...)
Hope you're okay.

Hope you're okay.

I am still dealing with my decision to try to get off of Klonopin; I am hanging in there. I am now down to half a pill twice per day, which is an achievement, I think. I am a bit clearer in the head, but my memory has not returned as powerfully as I had hoped. My emotions are less flat, which is both good and bad; the good is in feeling more alive, the bad is that strong emotion can be overwhelming. I am not suffering panic unduly.

I am suffering endless aches and pains and cramps, though, from all of this; withdrawal, even very, very gradual, sucks bigtime.

My only other big problem is that this is my hayfever time. The tree spooge in spring just tortures me, and all ports are running with goo from it, especially my eyes. Everything itches. It wears me out.

I've got my stomach valve problems in retreat, thanks to Prilosec calming my stomach acids, so no more closed off stomach. Yay!

So, I feel exhausted, achy, and itchy. But other than that, I am doing pretty good, overall.

I'm pretty happy, really.

My only real griefs, at this moment, are all existential issues, and therefore just the usual cosmic whining endemic to being human. Unusually strong, though, which makes me suspect it to be a side effect of getting off the pills. Or maybe that is me, unmedicated. I hope not.

Jennifer, I'm heartened to hear that overall, you're feeling happy. That's key. The dings and dents of life can't always be avoided, but being able to face them with equanimity is truly a blessing.

If I had a magic wand, I'd be tempted to wish away your existential angst ... but I'd hesitate. How much of your fertile creativity is bound up with that suffering?

Obviously you haven't read her twitter notes at Jennyverse.com.
Small info's, - yes she's alive.

And remember Jennifer's comic made with Spore?
Just today I recieved a mail from "Smith Micro", a tool to create comics with these Spore critters, did they see Jenny's comic?
Well fact is, she did it all by herself, without a special "sporecomictool".
"Der Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl" german proverb, means, waiting for the next comic,

Oh, I'd forgotten about that! I did see Jennifer's Twitter feed on the front page, but I don't usually go to that page - it's usually the comics or the forum.
Seems like everyone I know is tweeting these days... but me.

I am happy that you are happy, Jennifer!
I hope "all the other stuff" works itself out.
