Apologies to my regular readers for not only failing to post, but not even responding to comments. I would normally respond, even if I were simply ill, but it seems over the last two days I had one of the worst episodes of porphyria I ever experienced. (Or so I assume, I suppose it could have been something else, but I doubt it.) It started off as a strange pain, it shifted around my gums from place to place -- I must have brushed my teeth a dozen times trying to dislodge a mysterious "something" that wasn't really there -- then involved my face, hands and feet. After a few hours of that, things just got worse. I will spare you the gory details, but I spent most of my time going from nausea to unconsciousness and back. Still feeling a bit groggy and unbalanced, but not nauseated, and have stayed awake over two hours without even a little unconsciousness, so doing fine now.
So, now that I am functioning again, I will try to reply to all comments, and post my half finished essays, in the next few hours.
