I’m fed up with Mental Health.  Perhaps mostly with psychiatrists.
I’m also fed up with most professionals out there.  There is *one*
place that I feel comfortable going for professional  and even that I
can’t feel that comfortable about going to at times.

That place, The Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences, both the
outpatient clinic, and the student clinic.  I can be freaking out
there and really all they want to figure out is what (to me “natural”)
diagnosis they can provide, and through that how they can treat me.
They don’t tell me “not to worry because there is nothing to worry
about”, unless they can see that as a legitimate therapeutic
intervention.  They don’t question if I’m telling the truth, only ask
more specific questions to get to what they are looking for in terms
of a diagnosis.  They would never contact someone else without telling
me that they are, and why they are doing it.  In other words, they
treat me like a real human being and totally respect me.

I am at the point that I’m honestly looking at going off all my
medications, and doing so very carefully, and slowly, just because the
only thing I *really* see helping me is the Chinese medicine.  And I
honestly think the “western” medicine is countering the Chinese
medicine quite significantly.  I know some people think Chinese
medicine is “bunk”, but I think I have to listen to what works for me,
and that is Chinese Medicine.  The one possibility that has worked in
the past is “low dose” lithium.  Unfortunately there is only one place
in the area that I know where to get it from.

I am also thinking of moving.  Not because I honestly see a better
place for me to get what I need, but because of the fact that other
than the two places that really seem supportive of me as a human,
everything seems to be taking me down.  Wait, there seems to be one
other place that mostly works out that way for me.  That is school.

Anyway, I think I’ll leave this update at this for now.  I’ll catch up
with you later.  Looking forward to hearing what people say.

I have been busy with a bunch of different things.  Mostly not doing a lot in terms of work here.  For a brief period I was doing “one creative project a day”.  Then a week or two ago I decided that I’d work on the Armispian Systems Site, and thought I’d get it up and working in fairly short order.

The summer has been really difficult getting things done.  To much time, not enough too do.  It’s meant that I’ve left things to be done “later” which hasn’t worked well at all.

I have created a Art Fire Studio which I think is totally amazing to be able to do. There is not much there now, but I’m really impressed with what the people at Art Fire are doing, and think this is a great place to start with finding out more about online sales.

I have also created a Deviant Art account which has a few more things on it, as I just want to be able to present some of my artwork there. You’ll see stuff that is “ready to print” up there, and while I’d appreciate it if you bought it from me, go ahead and print for yourself.

So that’s a bit of what I’ve been up to. I hope that this sees you well, and that you’ll check things out in time, and maybe even buy things from me.

Anything I’m selling on ArtFire, or DeviantArt I will be able to sell things to you in person. Soon I’d like to have enough to have a bit of a collection of things I’ll be selling.

We have completed the projects for the school year.  There are a couple of sites that we will be working on over the holidays whether we’ll get them up and running is another matter entirely.  Somehow not sure if we’ll put as much time in these as we have put in the last two projects.  There is a lot of work to do on both of these projects.  One we have to pretty much start “at the begining” with, despite having a site up and running already.

These sites are the Tricia Rasku By Hand site and the Gender Outlaws Site.  Hopefully these will come together or at least mostly there over the holidays.  It is almost a month that I’ll be away from School, so should be able to get something done over the holidays.

Yesterday and Today we have been working on what will be our Christmas gift to a number of people.  It started with a bit of graphic design in the form of a gradient mesh moon (not quite the look I had in mind, but it’s workable), and the certificate that that goes on.  If you’re not already on my Christmas list, then you can be added any time up to Christmas.  So far I think I have 14 people on the list, I’m hoping that I do catch everyone who is interested in getting something from me.  And if you want is not what you want, then let me know that you want to give/sell/donate it elsewhere and I’ll make note of that, and they can contact me when the time comes that they want to use it.

What else?  Not a lot.  Got 2 of my classes final marks together 100% in one class, the other class my lowest mark is 88%.  Not sure what my final mark will be for the term, but probably not much higher than 88%, maybe low-mid 90s.
