I'm still here somewhere...
Hello, dear long lost journal. How awful of me to have been gone so long.
What have I been doing...working, working, and more working. Shuttling the kids here, there, and everywhere. Every moment is spoken for during most days it seems. I don't mind too much, especially during the winter, but once spring arrives, all bets are off. My mother is getting to where she's not able to get out much. She has such bad arthritis in her legs and hips that some days are very painful for her. I try to check on her as much as possible, even if it's only briefly some days. I have other family who live right next door to her and on the same street so they see her more than I do but I still feel guilty I'm not there more.
Work has been going well the past few months. Not that the pay is any better, it's definitely not, but I enjoy it a lot more. I feel like I'm doing something useful for other people as well as earning a paycheck.
Let's see...I'm still a Star Wars fangirl. Even more so now that I've been watching The Clone Wars every week. I still read every Star Wars book that comes along. I still like Supernatural, even though the writers have pretty much screwed up the brotherly relationship between Dean and Sam and twisted Sam into a different and almost unlikeable character. I also watch several new shows when I get a chance, if I don't sleep through them which I do an embarassingly lot of the time, Life on Mars, The Mentalist, Eleventh Hour, My Own Worst Enemy (already canceled!), and Fringe. Old favorites too when I can figure out what night they're on, Life, CSI, Smallville, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Prison Break, and Without a Trace. I've heard Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone have already been canceled.
I still read but it takes me days to finish a book now, a chapter or two a day is a great accomplishment. I haven't written any fanfiction, haven't even worked on the ideas and stories I started on 2 years ago. That kind of saddens me.
