Aaaand we're back! (Redux)
10 years ago
As some of you might have suspected--given my recent upload--I'm back! Back to the land of a semi-stable internet connection. I don't desire to bore anyone with too many specifics, but I will say that everything is okay on that front. Grandmother is as well as she can be under her circumstances. Some unpleasantness went down while I was gone, as one would expect, but this isn't about to become a forum of me complaining about the many very unfortunate problems with my extended family's health.
My own health, however, I will complain about all I like. Almost the moment I reentered my home an infection to shake the very foundations of the world took root in my sinuses, which then proceeded to move down into my chest, so I've spent the better part of the last few days oozing all sorts of unpleasantness from my face and feeling rather miserable about the pettiness of fate. At least the fevers have subsided. Now I just feel tired and headachy all the time. Blugh...
But! Even that is ultimately irrelevant to my immediate needs and desires. Shit, as always, needs to get done. I'm back, for the most part, and I can get back to replying to all the messages that I've neglected. Admittedly, that will get done slowly, because I can barely focus enough to remain medicated let alone type more than... well... this, but it will be done within the fullness of time.
In close thank you guys and gals and others, for giving a little bit more purpose to with what I choose to fill my some of my free time. I'd be here, and I'd still write, but it wouldn't be the same without you lovely peeps. Literally. Selene and Luna wouldn't exist for one, and the story would be vastly different.
Anyway. Thanks.

As for the sinuses, two words: Mucinex D (the kind you have to show ID for). It's the stuff of miracles. Or just guaifenesin. Never been too clear on the difference.
Regarding the family situation...that sucks more. I know from painful experience. I do hope that things go as smoothly as possible for you in that respect as possible, and that they come to and end that's as painless (emotionally and physically) as possible for you and your family. It's not a fun experience, when things go this way, and I'll hope for you that things go as well as they possibly can.
But...what about you, in specific? I'm rather painfully familiar with the stress of a family member not being at their best, but you've said prior that you yourself were pushing through some tough times (on-top of the recent events). Has your situation improved? Or is looking to improve?
And thank you.
Stay excellent!
