In brief...

[red_queen]

Haven't written for quite some time, and have been feeling so guilty about it (yes, Jewish, female, breathing -- so of course I feel guilty!) that I haven't even been reading my Friends page. And then 2.5 weeks ago, I moved upstairs

>continued helping to hydrate (sub-q fluids) a recalcitrant tabby

You too? I'm currently hydrating a friend's recalcitrant calico.

>I'm not tidy. And I have way, waaaay, waaaaay too much stuff.

Me too on that, as well.

PING

Hi. Just pinging. It's been so long since I've talked to you that I didn't know about your mother. I'm so sorry.

[red_queen]

Sigh. Thanks. I miss her an awful lot. And it's hard to be without parents -- one loses a lot of one's history and family history. I still have family, but not a lot of it, and my mom was the "glue" to my hometown and to my extended family.

The last five years have been... complicated, to say the least. And really hard. Good things have happened, too, and i'm trying not to make a lifework out of how bad the bad parts have been, but let's just say my therapist has job security. Feel free to read back in my older entries...

And apologies for not replying to your email, btw. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what to say and how to say it when I'm not happy with myself and my life.

what rapper team?

i need more folk dance music in my life -- i don't have any anymore :(

[janetmiles]

I am glad to hear from you.

[chanaleh]

Hey! I was just thinking of you the other night. Glad to hear you're hanging on.

Wanna sell jewelry with me at Arisia '06? :-)

[red_queen]

YES. Definitely. We should schmooze on this. I may not actually *go* to Arisia, tho'... it's not my favorite con. In that case, I'd want you to take a commission either in percentage of sales (in addition to splitting base costs) or in earrings ;-}.

[chanaleh]

Well, duh, sweetcakes, that's why you should come and help sit the dealer table, because you won't feel like you're missing out on The Con!
