PMM! I love you my darling and wish we were somewhere we could pass ink samples back and forth!!! (bowm chicka bowm bowm)
Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail.
I think about amych on the original AO3 post too, because I remember you saying we needed tags, and thinking, "Pssh, what would I use tags for?" Little did I know.
That may turn out to be my greatest contribution to the internet.
Deleted. Uncomfortable sharing so much. It's just not me.
So, late once again... I come read a couple of posts now and again until I run across something distressing, and then I wander off again for a while, but I miss you guys, so I thought I'd at least let you all know I'm alive and well(ish). Since I was last active, we moved to Arkansas and we love it, though it took the kids a while. Everyone here is startlingly nice, and it weirded them out at first.
Greg had a car accident and broke his femur. He was out of work so long he lost his job. I started doing proofing part time for my sister and her boss, who are court reporters. When we moved here, we cashed in Greg's retirement and bought a house outright, so we're safe and have a lot less expense than we otherwise would.
Kara's a senior this year. Aidan is a sophomore. I found a therapist I love, finally, and am making interesting changes. Approval for SSI for me is pending, thankfully, since I'm a lot less capable than ever before, and Greg is starting to do some freelance business writing. We're making ends meet (with the occasional crazy scramble), having fun with the kids, and playing Township now and again, but that's about it. We've gotten a lot more boring (I know, right?) but we're doing okay.
Deena! It's good to hear from you! I have been wondering what you were up to these days. I'm glad to hear Arkansas is working out.
Deena! We miss seeing you so much. Good to hear of the life changes. I selfishly hope this means you will have more time to visit here.
Deena Deena Deena!
Deena! Glad to hear things are going vaguely OK at least, though hubs' femur break sounds AWFUL!
Deena! I can't believe Kara is a senior, except I do, when I remember how big my own kids are now. I hope Greg is healing well.
It's so good to see your pixels.
