About Me
- Name: Sagepaper
- Location: United States
An only child and service-brat, I was born in Panama. We lived on Indian Reservations when I was two to four-and-a-half -- crucial years for social development. Culturally, I am a mixed-up White Eyes from Mescalero. I began college at fifteen, enjoying a luxurious seven years of rigorous liberal arts education. Since graduating with a B.A. in Psychology, I have avidly read non-fiction, adding enormously to my formal education. Disabled by Tourette's Syndrome and other conditions, I live in Atlanta's suburbia. My father and husband are both physicians, and share a consulting business. (I am very proud of what they do, but I mention their occupations because people cannot seem to move to another small-talk topic if I simply say I am disabled. They must be told an occupation, and will start asking about family members to get one.)

Why I Did Not Post for a While
I had a very bad allergic reaction to dust disturbed by husband's relocation of much of our library. Nothing was working, so I started a course of steroids. That fixed my allergies up, but I took a dramatic and inexplicable nose-dive in my depression. I was at one point afraid I might require inpatient care. Fortunately, that wasn't needed.
Almost as quickly as I had gone down, I bounced back. Unfortunately, I ended up with a little more serious respiratory trouble at the end of the course of steroids. It looks like I will be quitting smoking again. Wish me luck. Maybe, just maybe, I can actually do it this time.
(Cover your mouth when you snicker!)
We've battled the depression monster in our daughter for years. Damn brain chemicals!! It's so hard to watch your loved one lose their zest for life.
I'm happy to see you back!!
