Review: A Kiss for Midwinter

A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

15 April 2023

Along with thermal dysregulation, I have emotional dysregulation. The ear worm, the most recent news story, the weather, a bit of undercooked potato: anything, really can give me a mood so I have a host of counterproductive. "Solsbury Hill" is one of the most happy tunes I've ever heard, cute animal photos are a popular, thus ubiquitous, anti-anxiety resource, and I reread books that are guaranteed positive mood inducers. Milan's work is reliably comforting and this series is particularly good for reminding me that this, too, shall pass.

At the moment I am struggling with the shortage of ADHD meds. The effort to hunt down a pharmacy which might have a supply is rather a lot for someone tending toward inattention. And the anxiety of not knowing when a supply of a drug I need to perform activities of daily life might be available, let alone whether it will continue to be available, is overwhelming.

Stupid bodies, always needing things. It's terribly annoying.
