Hi, guys,

We're going on a hiatus while I get some perscription stuff sorted out.

Details: Also known as the stuff that fills up the post

The long and the short of it is that I take a migraine suppressant. The majority of those are anti-seizure meds being used off label (they've been around long enough that some of the side effects have got the empiracal data to back using them for things that they weren't specifically FDA approved, but no one's willing to spend the money to jump through the hoops to get the new uses approved).

Migraines, I'm told, are a diagnosis of last resort - which sounds dire, but really means that "brains are too complicated, we don't know why this stuff is happening". Anytime you start messing with brain chemistry, weird things happen, and then there's our body's adaptation to the things we do to fix that stuff. So, occasionally Rx's that have been working no longer work the way they were.

While my doc and I are figuring out my new happy place with the Rx stuff, my focus has shot to the crapper. Instead of keeping this story limping along with sub-par writing, I'm going to just pause the posting and come back when my brain isn't so damn skippy.

Update July 2020

(1) Rx stuff is ongoing

(2) My capacity to focus has been fading in and out

(3) I've lost my notes about where I wanted to take this particular story arc

(3a) I'm hoping they're still somewhere on my computer, but I just can't remember which of the sea of the files they might be in

So, yeah. You, my readers, are not forgotten, but this story won't be back anytime soon.
