Yes, I’m alive

Hi all. Yes, I am still here. Sorry for the absence and very sorry for not writing this sooner. Part of my absence was due to another project that was taking a lot of my time. Also, I was trying to get prepared for a convention this weekend. Unfortunately, due to the weather and feeling a bit blah, I won't be attending said convention. Another part is that is that due to allergies and just feeling "blech" I haven't been doing much work. I think I have SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Anyway, there WILL be a comic up on Monday. Working on it now.
If it’s SAD then, from what I’ve heard and read, bright light (in the form of a light box) might be able to help.
Just see to yourself, Jamie, and get yourself feeling better. We’ll be fine until you’re ready.
I hate “SAD”.
Not just the disorder itself, which is real, and can be devastating to some people, but the name it was given.
I mean, really? You (and by “you”, I mean whoever came up with it, not you personally, Jamie,) just *HAD* to come up with a cutesy acronym for a depressive disorder? Why not call it “Untimely Natural Hatred of Apathetic Personal Perceptions Yammering” syndrome???
(Alright, I spent half an hour trying to come up with that, and just can’t find a good set of words, sorry.)
Ed, if you can remember the acronym and know what it refers to then the person/commitee that came up with it has done his/her/their job. The two things organisations want their names to are: to be recognised and for that recognition to be accurate.
