I am SO SICK. I think I'm getting better, but it's been a week now (or longer). Damned asthma. Damned lungs. I have bronchitis and it doesn't want to let me sleep or function very well. I hate that this seems to be the worst bout ever. I've never had this much trouble just getting through the days. One reason I hate it is because it's like a signal

My daughter K brought home the Brownies announcement from school a couple of years ago. She really wanted to do it, do something apart from her older sister, something that was just hers. The Brownies started off holding meetings at the school (now it's at a church). I'd read up on the Girl Scouts - they said you didn't HAVE to sell cookies. Obviously I'm naive. K wanted to sell some cookies, and everybody else did it. There are patches for selling them, I think. And it gives them money for troop activities (just not enough percentage-wise, if you ask me

I love the Wincest stories. Certain authors I really like, but just like always in fandom, some of my favorites are gen and some are slash.

About buying the Wincest - I believe Sam and Dean need and love each other very much in canon, so for me personally I can make the leap in fanfiction. Wincest is pretty daring, I guess, though after you read it for awhile it feels like a lot of other slash, only the angst is amped because of the guilt and because it drives the two of them even further outside of accepted societal norms.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling crappy. It's no fun.

And the getting older thing is weird. I always thought I'd be cool with being 40 and I actually really am. I'm happier now than I've ever been, but there's also this undertow, some days, mostly about how I'm supposed to be thinking of myself and the dissonance is hard sometimes.

I hope there's no lung rottage. And also: HELLO! I missed you!

hey you, it's good to hear from you:) If you missed me, come chat at me anytime! You're so blasted BUSY. Well, we both are, truth be told - just different things.

Ah, I'm just feeling bummed because physically the asthma and all the respiratory vulnerabilities makes me feel, well, vulnerable. And I wonder if I'm getting so crappy sick because I am older, but possibly I'm just feeling sorry for myself.

I never really thought about turning 40 and what it means to me. Didn't think about it except for that twinge when I first hit it... basically I get tired a lot, but then I did that anyway! It's harder to lose weight for me now, so that makes me irritable. What happened to the days I could slough it off like it was nothing? Ack!

I'm glad ONE of us is good with getting older (eyes you jealously). WAH.

Next week will be better, right?

Probably that dissonance of your is good. Why let it bother you that you don't think how you think you should be thinking? You think? hee.

Wow you could have written some of that stuff about me.

{{Hugs}}} Hope you feel better soon. So many people I know both on list and in RL have had severe colds and lung problems, I'm starting to wonder if there's something really new going around.

[kassidy62]

thanks for the hug - I really need 'em right about now:)
My doctor said he's seeing a lot of this - this THING, whatever it is. Lots of coughing. Nothing's made it stop so far.
Hope you're doing well.
