dusts everything off
I seriously did not mean to leave it this long without posting. Suffice to say since most of Spartacus fandom is on either tumblr/twitter/AO3 I've been over there for a bit. And also drowning myself in all the wonder that is The Losers fic.
Also working on and researching for a few fics, which is why fic writing has been pretty MIA lately. I wish I could say that would pick up, but I have at least one big bang and one psuedo-big-bang in the future. Alas, not doing War Big Bang again this year. With the other fic stuff there's just no room on my personal fandom dance card.
In other news:
Carrie's doing well. We've switched her ENT. New doc doesn't think she needs surgery so that's good news.
Mom however probably does b/c basically she's having issues with her whole back/knee/everything. She pretty much can't go anywhere without her cane these days. So, yeah, don't think I'll be leaving home or CLT anytime soon when I basically have to do most of the house work and the grocery shopping b/c mom just can't anymore. Pretty much high school all over again for me, wherein I'm taking care of Mom and Carrie, but hey, it seems to be the oft-repeated lot in my life.
(Though if one more well-meaning person says, "Oh, Shannon, don't forget to live your own life!" I will scream. There is no one else who will take care of Mom or Carrie. My mom's family couldn't care less and my brother's always working, so it's me by default and choice. I know what I'm willing to regret in my life. Look, stuff gets left undone when I'm away from the house for 4 days. I won't be able to move away for 4 years again.)
I'm getting back into reading fiction books. It's been awhile since I've been in the mood. And by awhile I mean almost two years. I need to catch up on Nightrunner (I'm two books behind) and Dark-Hunter (I'm a few books behind in the main series and a the last two in the Nick series.) Also, really, really need to catch up on The Dresden Files. Hopefully that will be next month. Or August.
