Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Hey All, I wanted to check in, though given my levels of lurky/barely-there posting of late, my almost-total absence the past month or so might not have been noted. Anyway, the last month and a half has been a high-stress mostly crapfest. On top of traveling (nowhere fun, unfortunately), and family drama, my mom has had some health difficulties and been in and out of the hospital for the past month. My only local family is my brother who is just this side of No Help At All, so I've been running myself ragged with work, running her house and bills and whatnot (and my own), and visiting her at the hospital pretty much daily. But she's been home for a few days now and seems to be doing very well and I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. I've wanted to post here approximately a million times, but felt like I needed to do a full brain dump (see above) and just didn't have the spoons. But I've been reading lurkily at work and sending ~ma as needed. And I've been feeling remotely supported by you guys, even though you had no idea at the time.
Anyway, tl;dr, I felt like I needed/wanted to do a formal re-start to posting and trying to be more active around here. So here I am.
(Also, Not to steal Steph's Thunder as Official Birthday Attention-Wanting Gal, but MY birthday is also coming up [Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!] and I DO love to come in here for good wishes!)

Welcome home, Epic!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm glad your mom is on the mend, Epic. Sorry that things have been such a crap-fest. Also, Happy pre-Birthday!

askye, Happy Belated Birthday! I really thought I had said it yesterday, but then suddenly realized I needed to check. Ah well, you deserve a multi-day festival to celebrate, anyway.

Epic, I'm sorry things have been so difficult lately, but it is good to have you back!

Good to see your pixels, Epic.

One more step achieved in the quest to clean and reorganize all the things before August. I have cleaned out and reorganized 2/3 of my closet, and replaced all the hangers with nonslip velvet hangers. I ran out of hangers so, I'll finish the other third when my order of more hangers arrives. One dresser completely cleaned out and reorganized. Two bags of crappy hangers going back to the dry cleaners, and three bags of stuff to donate to charity. There are a few things left in the closet that I want to sell, but they're summer things and my consignment shop isn't accepting summer things anymore. So, I'll hang onto those until Spring.

Epic reminds me that I have been Lurky McLurkerson for a long while.
Good thoughts, coming your way and washing over your mom, Epic.
Big hug to Andi, for checking in regularly. Mwah!
Things have been pretty craptastic around here too.
The house hunt continues and continually boggles my mind. Seriously. The stuff I've seen.
Also. Menopause is turning out not to be for sissies. I've spent shocking money getting told that no one can help me. Given my history with the medical industry these last 5 years, I'm really, truly feeling that I'm screwed.
One of my faux-cousins died two days ago after being one of the longest living AIDS patients in history. He was only 66. Still, he had 30+ good years.
A wonderful contract I was jubilant about seems to have evaporated.
It's ugly hot and humid.
On the upside, Cagney is well. I've seen good movies. I'm pretty close to being a vegan and it's going okay.
So, no need for hairpats, but I've been so focused on my sucky health, and sucky house search I felt it didn't make sense to post.
I have been sending ~ma and thinking good thoughts for everyone.
