The Briefest Of Updates
Written by Sean on Wednesday, December 23, 2009
It is Christmas in a couple of days. I have been an absentee webmaster these last few weeks, and I apologise for it. There isn’t much new going on in my life, and on top of it, this time of year is tricky at best.
The only real good thing is that it’s Summer in this part of the world, so I have warmth and sun to shore up my spirits. And let me tell you, it’s not only nice, but necessary!
BIID is strong, strong as ever. It is leaving me in a really bad space. But it’s almost funny, because that bad space is my usual space. So my "normal" would be hell to some other people. Am I getting used to live in hell? I hope not.
Lots of nightmares again. I had a short spell without them. It was nice while it lasted.
I have so many things to do, things that *should* enthuse me. But I have no enthusiasm for them. Perhaps it’s depression, although it doesn’t feel like the usual depressive feelings. Well, no more depressed than my baseline anyway. So why can’t I get passed this and get things done?
Ahh, well, next week is another year. Perhaps it will be the year I get to test the hypothesis that becoming a para will "uncork" me and let me become trully productive, contented and happy.

For Christmas I shall uncork a bottle and drink to you getting uncorked. Have you tried laxatives?
Sean,
2010 will be a good year for you.
In the meantime please send some warmth to your old homeland. What on earth am I doing here????
Peter - Not depressed just mad!
Oh. I forgot, you have a Bonjour from Tom who’s also discovering winter in Quebec.

“Uncork” is a very good word for the state of mind we hope to get into after surgery.
But there are small things we can do to uncork here and there a tiny little bit every day.
I wish you and everybody here to uncork themselves again and again.
You know how sometimes you mis-read things when you look at them fast?
I mis-read this as “The Benefit of Cupcakes.”
Shows you my mind is in the bakery yet again…
Lane should write a post on “The Benefit of Cupcakes.” We haven’t heard a peep out of him since his cupcake trauma. Finding the positive aspects of cupcakes would be a good therapeutic exercise.

Hi Sean,
What part of the world are you in? I\’m in Australia and we are also enjoying a summer Christmas.
I am fortunate to have been able to use my chair quite a bit this summer which has been great for me.
