I haven’t updated this page in a long time. I came back to do so because unfortunately Dr. Gloria Willcox passed away, and all of the messages I get are about contacting her. I’ve had a lot going on in my personal life.
I relocated 1,500 miles away for work, and in the middle of it my father passed away, due to complications brought on by Covid. He actually got it three times over the span of three months. He beat it each time, but had a relatively rare symptom that removed his appetite and made him nauseous when he ate. He refused to participate in his own medical care (because he thought he knew better than the doctors), so he literally wasted away. We’re going through probate now, which isn’t fun. Another relative also passed away, just two days before he did.
Glancing at my last posts here, I guess I should note that Facebook refused to give me access to the page I’d created for Recovery Book Press. Twelve-step programs teach us that maintaining anonymity can help us put our recoveries first, so when I created that Facebook page I did so using anonymous information that doesn’t match my own.
Facebook has a financial incentive to ensure that there are no anonymous accounts. They make money by selling your personal data, so they want to make sure they can accurately identify who you are. They refused to restore access because they’re claiming they can’t prove that I’m the owner, so that page will be permanently lost. I could create a new page and tie it to my personal Facebook account, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to violate that barrier yet, even though I kind of have by sharing about the Horror Makes Us Happy project I’m doing with my friend Chris.
That’s been going well, but it’s A LOT of work. That’s a whole topic unto itself, which I don’t feel like getting into right now, so I’ll end this update here.
