Greetings SG-Land, I hope everyone has been doing well lately. I want to apologize for my lackluster responses & presence in the community in general - I've been dealing with another minor health issue these past couple weeks. In addition to the whole Bipolar-II thing I already wrote about, I've got some physical problems that demand a lot of my attention - to put it briefly, I've got a bad stomach. No need to go into any gory details right now, but suffice to say, it frequently causes me more than a little bit of trouble...
Anyway, I've been having a bad reaction to a new medication and it's sent my blood pressure all to hell. Blood pressure has never really been an issue for me before, so as - let's say "interesting" - as it is to experience new sensations, I really do prefer when my chest doesn't feel like it's being wrenched in the slimy coils of a boa constrictor, and when my lungs & throat don't feel like they're swelling shut and collapsing into choking nothingness. But I (finally) got to see a doctor earlier today and hopefully with some pharmaceutical tweaking, it won't be much concern in the not-too-distant future. So, fingers crossed & all that...
I'll be trying to catch up with everybody who interacted with me here - sorry again if I haven't gotten back to you sooner - as well as getting up to date with everybody's new sets & other posts. I've tried to keep at least one casual eye on all the new sets that have been posted and I just gotta say: DAMN! 😍 You ladies & your fantastic photographers & all of the SG crew are just absolutely fucken killing it lately. Seriously, it's been a gaddamn privilege to see what you all have created & I'm still counting my blessings that I get to be here on the site to see it all come to life. I've literally had to step away from my computer here to catch my breath & get some air back into my system on several different occasions over these past few weeks. Hopefully in future posts I can highlight some favorite sets or give a shout-out to some of the fine people here who have been particularly kind to me - and there are quite a few of you, don't think I haven't noticed & you can bet your beautiful asses I won't be forgetting it! For now, I hope you know who you are and will accept my most sincere & heartfelt gratitude once again. You may notice I never ever get tired of saying "Thank You!" where I feel it's due, even past the point where I become annoying, so I'll try not to let that happen here.
I had some other things I wanted to comment on, but that will have to wait 'til later, because I'm tired and have some more medical junk to sort through. Yeah, that sort of thing really never ends around here... Until next time, please take care of yourselves & take care of each other. Best wishes to you all.
Oops, I almost forgot, stupid me - Charlie says "Hi!" to everyone as well:
