pameladeanTerri Windling is running a series of posts on her gorgeous and thought-provoking blog, The Drawing Board; it's called "On Your Desk" and contains photos of the desks of artists, editors, writers, and other creative people. I dithered a lot about sending her anything; then I dithered about asking David to take some pictures for me; then I recalled that I had refused to let ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kylecassidy into my office for his lovely "Where I Write" project, so that he had to make do with a model. Finally, without even cleaning up the stacks of empty prescription bottles or shifting a single object, I grabbed my new camera, took some snapshots, and sent them off. They are here, for the curious, in all their disorderly glory. As an incentive, I'll mention that the other person whose desk is featured in this entry, Anna Brahms, does amazing work with dolls and puppets, so there is delight as well as dole in store.
I am hoping to be posting more regularly, and reading more regularly too. My blood pressure has decided to stall out at "borderline," which is not urgent but does need some resolution. I'm maxed out on four drugs. They offered me a fifth, but I'm seriously not enthusiastic. I can already feel the four I'm taking, pressing down on me and sapping my energy. I am being allowed to essay "lifestyle changes" to make the numbers creep down a bit. I'm not personally too worried, because my readings at home are lower than at the clinic; but I'd like to get them lower yet so the clinic readings will allow of reducing the medication so I can have some energy back. In the meantime, I'm plodding along, trying to wrangle an obstreperous short story and not sink further into the chaos that ensued while I was revising my book.
Thinking kindly of you all,
Pamela
