Hey! I'm so sorry, I never got round to replying to your message at Christmas. I kept meaning to.
I'm going to try and do a catch up post soon - how have you been?
Its good you're writing again. B/A stories? I've been struggling for years to write, without success, but about a month ago I started again, original stuff. No B/A or fandom, I'm afraid.
I'm currently publishing a story on AO3 that I initially started a decade ago! (I guess the moral is never give up). Also, a bunch of other things, mostly B/A over the last two years, all still under a2zmom. Check is out if you're in the mood. The long story can be found here:
I'm good overall. Sadly lost my husband 2 1/2 years ago so that was tough. My boys are great. The oldest finally married his girlfriend after 12 years of togetherness. My youngest is happily dating a lawyer and living his dream as he now is an art director at the NY Times.
It's good to keep busy, and I know you're good at that!
Most of your news you'd already told me, though I didn't know that Z was dating a lawyer, and I bet the NY Times keeps him busy. Does he get to do any art himself?
Are you okay? You lost your husband suddenly as I recall, and I believe you were doing some stuff to the house? Did it include a boiler replacement? Memory of a gnat these days...!
His death was very sudden and unexpected. He just didn't wake up.
I do keep busy. My boys are great. I should be seeing Zak on Wednesday (depends whether The Times lets him take off. He has a lot of responsibility now.) Aaron and his lovely wife Mary Cate I'll be seeing over Memorial Day weekend. Aarom, MC, her mom and I went to New Orleans a couple of months ago which was a blast.
New furnace, new hot water heater, all new bedroom funiture (I had to get a new bed for obvious reason and it kind of snowballed. But I really love it. Zak helped me decorate, he has an amazing eye for it)
Zak' s lawyer is currently doing labor law and eventually hopes to do civil rights litigation. He is very proud of her.
Zak is an art director so he hires illustrators based on how he thinks they would enhance a feature article and then much like an editor works with a writer, he works with the artist to improve it. And, he does that actual layout. He doesn't do too muc art himself at this point, but he's always preferred to be behind the scenes. He's the

Hello! How are you sweetie? What's up with you?
In the last year or so, I've started writing again and have been posting to AO3. No cookie dough stories though.
