So, I finally jump properly into LJ, and find so many lovely people, and meet up with some old friends as well. And just as I’m starting to feel at home among such a delightful crowd, all **** breaks loose. I try to keep my RL out of this journal but thanks to those who've been so encouraging offline when I really just wanted to crawl under my

Oh my no, as far as illness I actually only had an extremely bad cold - so bad that I thought for a day or two of going to the hospital, if only I weren't so allergic to hospitals. That was rough but after nearly three weeks I've nearly conquered it. But just before that, I got hit with a very angsty RL work-related situation that had me on an emotional roller coaster for over a month now. And just this week, what looked like a Very Scary Thing seems to be turning into a Quite Good Thing, and it's amazing how much better I feel. I'm still almost as busy as I was, but I'm getting more done and not getting home feeling drained and miserable.

So I'm trying to ease back into LJ (though I'm hopelessly behind) and have a bit of a better outlook, now that the scary part seems to be over. And I had wanted originally to do a good deal of poring over your pictures and things, and it was about the time of your last post on my LJ that my RL black hole opened up. So, slowly, I'll get there - and I didn't forget about your replies, I'm just drowning so far! Thanks for your patience!
