Hello, hello!
I've been gafiating from online fandom due to real-life pressures...work in the form of a reorg and a new manager (yay!) and a bit of a different role (nice change); personal stuff in the form of lots of focus on the house and yard: we have had some repairs done, gotten a new cedar fence put in, had concrete from the front removed so we can get the drains inspected, scheduled garage door opener replacements for both side of the double garage, and had tree guys out to deal with the tree in the front yard--twice. :/ (We had it trimmed to lighten the heavier branches before fall/winter, but a couple mos. after, we still lost a huge branch that had to be cleared away.
I don't think I ever said anything here, but when I was on vacation in June, I got so sick! It took almost two months and three rounds of antibiotics to clear up the bronchitis and sinus crud. I even got pink eye during the worst of it. :P So, after that I was dragging for a few weeks. That sort of killed the summer tbh.
It wasn't all suffering, though. My second mother and I went on a nice whale watching trip in the San Juans last weekend (we saw many, many orcas from the J & L pods), and I've been to a few Sounders games this season.
I hope you've been doing fine. I'll try to catch up on all of you sometime soon, but for the next while, I'll be focused on the last two weeks of my turn to drive the Avengers crack van.
