I waited to add anything here so I am getting in under the wire. Not much has changed in my life in what feels like years, but is probably not true. I was able to go to Hawaii twice in about 8 months, allowing me to count it as a 2010 trip and a 2011 trip. That was the coolest thing that happened to me. I also spent most of October in Colorado with my Dad and brother so that was pretty emotional and special.
My mom has been symptom free from Breast Cancer for...I'm a terrible daughter for not knowing off the top of my head...but I've tried to forget as much of that as possible. It has to be at least two or three years now. eta: I remember to buy her gifts with the pink ribbon emblem because she wears that with such pride.
I feel so badly for the Buffistas that are having a rough go of it and it seems like the back end of 2011 has really kicked our asses. But we are still flying and that makes us mighty. Or something like that.
I mostly post in Supernatural (I love Dean OMGOMGOMG) and watch way too much tv so you'll see me in some of those threads. Less in Natter or Bitches because I can't keep up.
And now I feel like Dorothy at the end of Wizard of Oz because it wasn't a dream. It was a place. And you and you and you...and you were there.I love Buffistas so very much. There's no place like home.
Good night, Buffistas. I love each and every one of you.
I'm just over the wire. Hullo. I hardly lurk at all, but when I do, it's usually in one of the tv threads. I check Beep Me and Press at least every few weeks.
I'm still incredibly grateful to be able to early retire last year, and be comfortable financially, own my own home, even go on vacations. I backpacked from Arcata to the Oregon border along the Calif. coast this past summer, followed by three weeks of car camping in Oregon. The most fun was the Kinetic Sculpture Event in Corvallis. (Check it out!)
My mother will be 96 in 3 weeks. She's hanging in there and has most of her marbles. Her hearing and eyesight have gotten much worse and everything is just harder to do when you are that old.
One of my sisters is a really awful person and that doesn't seem to change, sadly. The other can be terrible but we work it out. The brother is doing well.
I love taking college science classes. I'm enjoying and doing well in Environmental Geology this semester.
I'm having a minor surgery tomorrow and am up having my last cranberry juice. G'night Buffistas!
UNCONTROLLABLE URGE TO SPAM THE DELURKING THREAD. Both it and I are up past our bedtimes!
Lurkers, don't wait til next year, post randomly in all the threads!
OH HAI DELURKERS!!!
umm, you can come out. I won't asscap and exclamation point at you anymore. I'll try to only do it about actual subjects.
I feel like I should make at least a token presence in the delurking thread, especially because I'm mostly only found these days in Natter and Boxed Set, so it might be easy to miss me.
Howdy again, Buffistae. I got to see a few of you at this year's F2F, for which I'm grateful.
I'm still in exile in LA. Looking for Bay Area housing I can afford on my gubmint disability check, i.e. about $400 for rent. The right thing hasn't turned up yet so I'm still renting from relatives. I'm trying to take free and cheap courses to brush up old skills and learn new ones in the hope of vocational rehabilitation.
In the meantime I keep gardening, cycling, reading and self-analyzing just as much as I ever did.
Hi delurkers! All is well in New Orleans, need more Buffistas to visit, though.
