You know, most of my icons start out just as "oooh, I like this cap, what can I do with it?" or "omfg I HATE icontests, why am I doing another one!?" and it usually isn't until the final stages of the icon that I realize what I'm trying to say with it. Sometimes I miss that part completely and I still like those icons, but I usually don't keep them in my userpics for all that long because they don't resonate emotionally with me, or whatever.

And I don't have my appointment until later this week. But aside from the tiredness and stupidly short attention span, I've been feeling much better. So that's something, at least.
