An addendum...

I need to be sure not to lose track of something in all this, and that's the element of over-working that has nothing to do with any idea or formative process, but is just the Geeky/ADHD/Whatever way I'm wired. When my brain gets into a project, be it Red Hat, Second Shift, some random code project or writing a journal entry (*ahem*), it goes into overdrive, all the scattershot hyperactivity becomes focused and, while I don't know what it does on a chemical level, it feels *good*. So good that I have a hard time stopping even when it doesn't feel good any more. That may be the hardest part to deal with moving forward. It can be a powerful tool and I don't want to lose it.
