My ADD meds have been out of stock for two days and I am super-annoyed at Walgreens, for the record, and increasingly unable to cope with being organized about anything, so until I get the meds (they promise) tomorrow, if I am very short-tempered with you and/or completely useless at thinking clearly about anything, that’s […]
Oh! I meant to say, I’ve managed to actually put a writer newsletter together, for the first time in I don’t know how long, or rather, Stephanie Bailey and Emmanuel Henderson have managed to pin me down long enough to put one together for me.
