Sep. 3rd, 2008 11:34 amIt's impossible to accept that I cannot always do what I want to do because I'm too ill. I can't write, manage my in-tray, get to work, or look after Jon's emotional needs. It's an effort even to keep myself clean and fed. Yet I still feel that I'm malingering, that if I just tried harder - I can't even focus enough to read or post bric a brac. All I do is nap or watch rubbish TV. It's not always like this but it is right now and the only way I can handle the desperation and frustration and guilt and self-loathing is Valium and whinging on LJ.
Sleep assessment followup on Monday. It had better be packed with good news.

Sep. 3rd, 2008 12:36 pmSo I thought I'd cheer myself up by watching The Making of Me avec la Barrowman. There's lots of lols, but I defy you to watch the bit with Pete, who was subjected to the whole Clockwork Orange bit in an effort to torture teh ghey out of him, and not want to have a little cry. JB is appalled to learn that homosexuality was only decriminalised in Scotland in 1980. He wonders if, had he grown up there instead of Illinois (the first US state to drop its sodomy laws, in 1961), he might have been one of the many gay kids who take their own lives.
To balance that a bit, here are some cute dogs.
ETA: That reminds me -
murasaki_1966 pointed me to a New Scientist news item: Bisexuality passed on by 'hyper-heterosexuals'. "How can there be 'gay genes' given that gay sex doesn't lead to procreation? The answer is remarkably simple: the same gene that causes men to like men also causes women to like men, and as a result to have more children." Interesting... now do the same experiment with lesbians!
