hello lj! i've written a few posts for you but then deleted them because i didn't like them. or in friday's case, deleted it after crying for a bit and then taking a nap and feeling much better about life. (long story short: my family is fine, but my mom was too busy all week to bother telling me that they had electricity again after telling me not to call on tuesday because they didn't want to waste their batteries and might be without power for two weeks. i was 99% sure everything was okay, but i'm a worrier and i have internet access and spent the week looking at far too many awful pictures of the jersey shore. about half of my family was still without power as of friday, but i'm kind of mad at my mom for not calling me and then not apologizing when i told her that was a dick move, so i haven't called this weekend and i don't know if power is back for everyone. they're supposed to get a snowstorm this week though, so i hope it's back soon.)
other than that, things are pretty much normal. lady!boss is still gone, but my coworkers are still sometimes dicks. i've read some good books, but i'm behind on my reading goal. i did read a lot of fic and write a lot of words though, so it balances out i think. (i'm pretty sure i've published more words this summer than in the entire rest of my career in fandom. which, granted, is not saying much. but still!)
we visited boston again (which was amazing, i love all of my jerk friends so much) and i am definitely moving there next fall. i keep going back and forth between getting my own place (which i can afford, although things will be tight) and living with a roommate (which will probably be better for me all around, unless i live with an asshole), but i've still got a little time before i need to make any final decisions. i've even priced out some moving companies and notified my employer! woo, grown-up moving plans! this is going to be so different than that time i was throwing all of my possessions in my car the morning of my move and then driving to florida with no clue what i was doing!
not that i really know what i'm doing now. but at least i'm aware of how dumb i am this time.
