Hello, dear friends, I'm back. I needed to take a bit of a break from my tedius routines which had me in a rather vicious cycle of getting stuck and prickly and fuzzy and spiky. Before my diagnosis, I didn't know what any of that was about, or how to deal with it. Now I know it means that I need a service check for the distance I've traveled. I needed to refill my windshield fluid, I needed to check the tire pressure. Change the oil, align my wheels, that kind of thing. So I took some time to clear my head and get some perspective. I spent time by myself with myself, wandering around in costume interacting with other mortals, catching up with friends and revealing secrets to strangers. It was quite funny -- haha and peculiar -- to see the various reactions, open mouths, poker faces, wide eyes. You? Really?! You seem so... NoRmAl?

If only you knew the places I've been...
