i’ve been…

June 2nd, 2004

Drawing of a pile of books…meaning to do this for a while.  Photos and drawings of books on bloggers’  bookshelves and bedside tables seemed to start appearing all over the place after an entry on A Life In Wales  back in April.  Mine seem to sum things up for me at the moment.  A bit of Julia Cameron to help me to get back to making some art.  Something about exercise for people with ME/CFS to maybe help me get a little fitter.  Some Sue Grafton to lull me off to sleep (or for when I can’t).

I’ve been taking the sertraline for a little over a month now.  I haven’t been drawing, painting or blogging.  I have been doing more physically I think.  I’ve been reading more - often a sign to me that I’m feeling more content.  I’m not sure if all this means anything has really changed fundamentally.  I do have up times from time to time, maybe this is one of those, maybe not.  I suppose time will tell…

I do want to get back to making some sort of art.  Back to some small drawings if I can.  Probably not painting just now.

    The Cameron book interests me….. walking has always been my comfort and inspiration… hard to do though when living with ME/CFS. I know there exists the school of thought that gradual exercise is good for ME, but i’ve always been one to overdo it and the setbacks were enormous. Silly me. Now, i am trying to go very slowly. Diificult when my goal was to walk the 800 km of the El Camino across northern Spain. How are you doing with the new medication?

    Going slowly sounds like a very good idea - something I THOUGHT I’d learnt too. As much as I tried not to, starting this new medication has made me *hope* for better health and as soon as I started to notice an upsurge in energy I was off again doing more than was wise. Now I’m hoping I haven’t knocked myself back into another setback. Ho hum…
