Hey all, I hope you're well.
I'm still kicking, though my writing has stopped.
This makes me so sad, and I feel incredibly guilty. However, there isn't much I can do to change my health at this time.
Just know I am thinking of you guys and miss this community a ton.
All the best.
Callie
Happy Pride to all of the lovely folks out there.
I see you and appreciate each and every one of you.
Hey all, checking in with a small update.
I'm still trying to write, but my productivity is so low (a few paragraphs a week) that I cannot realistically give any sort of timeline.
I am so sorry. I'll still try when I can, but as before, I need to focus on my health.
I hope you all are well.
Interesting how the speakers in the US protests right now are surrounded by hundreds of people WITHOUT a glass barrier.
Our "presidents" would never be brave enough to do that.
An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.
Question for my readers. Are you all sticking with using Kindle Unlimited or are you moving away from Amazon?
Please be safe out there.
I'm sorry I'm so quiet. I wish I could hang out like I used to. I miss it. 🤒
I think so. I'm either moving everything under C. A. or under Callie, but I'll post here and send out a newsletter if/when it happens.
Likely not until the middle or end of 2025 depending on my energy and health.
Looks like I'll only be shopping local from now on... why do people need to be such assholes?
I've been editing an old series to maybe release this year. It's very slow going, but it gives me something to do between flare-ups.
I plan to consolidate pen names as I don't have the energy to manage them at the same time.
I hope you guys don't mind having cozy romance and pnr together.
💕 you.
Wishing you all a happy and safe holiday season.
I'll see you all in the New Year.
Short update, EEG came back normal. No seizures were caught during the test.
Which is good (to a point) as it can't answer what's going on with me outside of that window.
So now I'm off my meds to see if it stops the hallucinations and such from happening.
Human Tetris. I'm terrible at the base game, so I wouldn't expect any progress here :)

Woke up at 5 this morning with a story idea I had to write down.
Thing is, it would involve three women as my couple/thrupple, and I'm not sure if I want to deal with all of those moving parts.
Too many mental gymnastics for me, I think. Still a neat idea, though.
Short health update:
I might be having seizures when I sleep. I'm currently talking future steps with my docs to see if it's seizure related or a side effect from my meds.
Thing is, I don't have pain. It's just a weird shape/hallucination and some near fainting episodes. *shrugs*
Hello to all the new follows!
Sorry I'm not too active as of late. Personal health has me just taking things one day at a time.
I just picked up a new coloring book, so I think I'll focus on that.
Please look after your mental health.
I am so sorry.
That's all I have the energy to say.
J and i did our part in PA. I didn't realize how infected my state was.
Still here, just cheering you all on from the sidelines.
Health is down, but there isn't much I can do but wait and keep my therapy appointments.
I hope you all are well.
Happy spooky season.
Was just told to stop taking the med I started last week due to high heartrate spikes. I'll see what my doc says when I see her next week.
Maybe something will work better.
So far it hasn't been too bad. It gives me false energy, though. So when I go past my energy envelope, I screw myself over by a lot.
It's going to need some practice, for sure.
I wrote today. It wasn't much, but I added a few details to something I started last fall.
I'm exhausted now, of course, and in pain (eyes have a hard time focusing), so I probably overdid it.
But I'm still trying. I miss writing so much.
Day 2 on new meds. It's been weird so far. It makes me tired but gives me false energy, I'm hungry but not, I have chills, dizzy, lightheaded, feeling even more out of it...
BUT (and this is a big but) it isn't nearly as terrible as the last med I tried.
It's too soon to be hopeful, but... yeah
Just giving another update. I've started taking some new depression meds today. Hoping maybe they can help, or prove to my docs that something else is going on.
I am so sorry for not writing/publishing. All of the med stuff uses the little energy I have.
Hope you're well.
Fortunately, the iron infusions I had in may and june seemed to have helped with that. All other numbers have come up but the wbc, but because my neutrophils or whatever are good, she says it's fine and my cells are probably somewhere besides in my blood. *shrugs*
My PCP, thankfully, has my back. It's just so infuriating when a test says one thing and then a doc is like *shrugs*
I also have chronic low white blood count (for well over a year now) that even my hematologist has ignored due to my other numbers being back up after iron infusions.
This week is 'Kissing in the rain' week for Jae's sapphic book bingo.
Alpha's Choice is just one of the cozy, amazing titles you can pick up, so be sure to check them all out.

Had a sleep study & mslt done. Told I have insomnia at night and hypersomnia during the day (like narcolepsy but different).
However, because I have lifelong depression, it's probably just that...
It couldn't possibly have anything to do with fibro pain or my cfs. Right...
I hate specialists.
Health update:
finished iron infusions today, numbers are going up but still feel like shit.
Brain mri from before was white matter disease (getting old) and we'll recheck in a year for possible MS.
Checked cardio, heart is good.
Saw pulmonology today. Sleep study pending.
