Hi y'all...

[twilighter]

:)  Anyone still out there?  Just checking in.  I've been back in Florida for a couple of years.  Just made a post over at my rarely updated food journal, if anyone is interested in the slow, weird progression that is Kathy's appetite.  Username:  goddamnfood.

In the last few years, I've become middle-aged.  Oh, and I have a radio show again, Saturday nights

Twi! OMFG! You're alive, what the heck is going on?? I'm in the middle of setting up a crazy online business, losing weight and being an aunty. That is about the 3 big changes in my life. I'm not in love (unless you count crazy unrequited love) and am still living in small town Australia.

Have missed you!

Hiii!

Hello doll, I knew I'd hear from you. You're fantastic. :D How skinny are you getting? I bet you look super.

Crazy unrequited love counts, even as it cuts, as always, as always. *hugs*

Do you still teach? And how is your family? I was just telling my nephew today about how we sent each other care packages of sweets. *hugs hugs*

Re: Hiii!

I no longer teach, it was too freaking hard. I'm setting up my own business at the moment. More details will be coming forth when it's closer to launch date.

My family are fine, that's the short answer. The real answer is my family is a huge fucked up mess including brain injury in my brother, near crippling arthritis in my mother, a nephew that can't be looked after by my brother and his fiance - blah blah blah, it's just messy and would take more than one cup of coffee to talk it through.

I've lost 15kgs (about 30 pound apparently *shrugs*) I haven't finished, but I will get there! I spent a lot of time not moving and just watching TV it's time to change that.

We should totally do another care package! Keep our spirits up in this time of crazy global stupidness! Take care.

Well, I can't wait to hear more about your business. Let me know when you're ready to reveal all.

I recall your brother had suffered an injury. On the job, I think? I hope he and your mom find relief soon. Me, (don't panic; this will be taken care of, I'm sure of it)I've been diagnosed with fibroid tumors. Not so out of the ordinary for a woman my age, especially when my mom and others in the family had them too. I may be getting some thoroughly modern medical treatment soon, the "modern" being what I've been holding out for.

I'm all for another care package, although I'd hate to slow down your incredible fitness progress! You've lost a lot. You must feel wonderful. :D

Heyyyyyyy! Good to hear from you! :D Nothing too exciting going on with me but I'm posting constantly anyway...

TMBQ :P

Hiya. Nice profile pic. :) How in the world are you and what are you doing in Seattle? Do you still foster dogs? I'm becoming a crazy picking-up-critters-on-the-highway lady. You saw the Cars, huh? Sounds unforgettable. Why did they ever go away? Tell me what's going on. :D

Re: TMBQ :P

[slfcllednowhere]

I am all over the place as far as how I'm doing--I got diagnosed as Bipolar II so yeh, THAT HAPPENS. I'm not working right now cos of it and I'm trying to get on Social Security. But I do really really love living in Seattle. I've been here for almost 3 years now and I think it's perfect for me. I'm sadly not fostering cos I'm in a very small apartment but I do have a kitty who is really fantastic. So I'm mostly just spending the time writing and working on various projects and obsessing about TMBG...

Re: TMBQ :P

[twilighter]

Bipolar II, does that mean leaning mostly toward the depressed side? I hope you get your SS. If they stubbornly deny you, it might be the kind of thing where you can pay a small fee to a lawyer to get him to write the right scary letter. Worth checking into maybe?

Kitties are the greatest, imho. I've been spending some time on www.thesquirrelboard.com, where some great people go out of their way to help injured, sick, orphaned and pet squirrels. Probably any other squirrel they might run into, as well. Right-wing psycho squirrels, ninja squirrels with a heart of gold, single mom squirrels who feel they should be able to have a career too, etc.

What kind of projects are you working on? Hey, do you know if I should be able to get a bookbinding awl at Michael's or Hobby Lobby? If not those, then where? Got any ideas?
