Happy New Year!

[byslantedlight]

I'm already a bit behind and a bit challenged, but let's see if I can yet again try and post a bit more often to lj (because when I do it means I get to talk to lj-friends, and they hopefully talk to me back! *g*). It's not been the most auspicious start to the year, I have to say. I tried to call my mum to say happy new year, only she must have

Oh no! I'm sorry you lost the computer file of your story. Fortunate that you printed part of it out.

I am doing better than I was at the beginning of last month. I'm also waiting to hear whether I will get to move back to Montana in March. (That is, whether there will be an opening for me in public housing.) If so, it will be much sooner than expected, and lead to a bit of a time crunch, but I think I will be able to manage it with help.

I still might not finish the story, as I managed to have a second semi-disaster today. Well, not quite a disaster, but an owie that does not help with typing at all!

Cross fingers for your housing in Montana - sounds like there are happier things there for you, which is always good!

Happy New Year to you as well!

[byslantedlight]

Thank you! Crossing all fingers for all of us! *g*

t's so frustrating when one has to reconstruct fic that was already written! I hope it turns out even better.

My plans for 2022 are to not do taxes and try to get an apartment on my Social Security. Keep losing weight and lower my blood sugar and the number of my medications.

And keep writing fic.

I have a feeling it's not going to turn out at all - I should really have written more of it over the year too... although then I suppose I would have just lost more of it too... *headdesk* We'll see!

I'm also cringing from that "t" word, which I need to pay before the end of the month. I don't know why that always makes me nervous, but it does!

Good luck with the apartment - and also the weight and blood sugar, which I'm totally with you on, and the meds! Here's to a healthier year for us all!

And yeay fic!

I think causing nerves in taxpayers is one of the goals of taaxes, Why else would tax law be so complicated? But I hope your taxpaying is as stress-free as possible. Definately yay fic1

I wish I had some new adjectives to hand but suffice to say those really are gorgeous pictures and I love them! Thank you.

[byslantedlight]

Well your old adjectives make me perfectly happy, so - thank you! *g*

Oh I feel for you, that aaaaaaargh! is so justified, but I'm glad you printed it out! My experience is that if I have to rewrite something from scratch is is never ever as good the second time around :(

[byslantedlight]

I have the same experience with the rewriting! And I definitely remember writing more of it too, which I clearly did after printing this section, so there's definitely going to be an element of that... :( But it could be worse, obviously!

I know a couple of people who wrote in the earlier days of computers/word processors (at that time, we hadn't all learned the importance of constance backing up) and sometimes lost everything on a floppy disk...
