Seriously I don't want to leave the house. Why?

I don't even know how to describe my mood even more, even if you gave me a chart. I've just been making tea and doing tasks all day. So productive I guess? But mentally tired. Also I feel dazed. And halfway cheery but also irritable. Like it's beautiful out, but I want to continue to be a basement dweller *has room on 2nd floor of house*

@alice Yeah I have a function I'm supposed to go to today but since I'm still sick anyway I wonder if it may not be best to stay home.

Got a call from a different psychiatrist. Yup, the rx can induce mania. Fortunately, I start tapering off tomorrow. This has been a weird and somewhat scary experience .

At first I was annoyed that LeGuin was sharing a display with Sue Grafton at my local library, but my brother put it well. "Be thankful George R.R. Martin didn't croak today." I feel like LeGuin would be a -little- overshadowed.

@distelfliege Oh, good!

@distelfliege I have RSI. PT speculates it's from frequent ivs and not from me using my hands a lot. I know this is me on my high horse but do what makes you happy. I barely did any crocheting last year and my health didn't improve anyway. So I think (not a dr) if you do it reasonably you should knit. Being miserable and still in pain doesn't help you know?

I got invited to go to a club that meets today. Have to cancel therapy to go. Need to go to the club to discuss taking over a duty. Have no interest in the club otherwise. Club adviser seems psyched though and he's a great professor so I don't want to let him down. Is there a cowering under my desk emoji? Or under a hoodie?

@Fairphone This looks beautiful.

Wait... what... it's as if I've reserved 9 books! *has no self-control*

Maybe one more book.

That might have been closer to 16 books...

And -no-, I did -not- get everything I wanted.

@alice I think it's neat. My favorite was the spooky flowers.

Ok I've reserved 6 books I think I've gone a bit far here. Thanks for the help!

As such, recommendations for U K LeGuin books? I have two books I would like to finish first (may not), and if demand goes up (it will) I won't be able to renew these. So I have to keep it light. I just read the first three Hainish books. They were different. I read Left Hand years ago. Don't recall it well sadly. What about Lathe of Heaven? I read Earthsea about two years back. #books #recommendations #reading

I'm running to the library site to reserve some Ursula K LeGuin works before they put up a display for her or people steal them from me. 😭

Nooooooooo
