Yes, but I'm not exactly feeling my worth as a person of late (I am leaving my thoughts on that firmly locked down).
AO3 is certainly a stable place. I'd been using it sporadically and expected to transfer my stuff as all the other places have either disappeared or are awful/not secure, but got caught on the hop. We shall see how well I do!
Pfft, "commonplace/whiny". Have you seen the stuff I post? I think when we're able to be self-aware, we are in a position of making progress. For my part, I'd rather catalogue my existence authentically than curate yet another social persona.
I realised some time back that anything I wanted to post was becoming a rant about how hard done by I was feeling. and how no one seemed to notice problems they were causing me when it was becoming increasingly difficu;t for me to look after myself. I don't want that to become my epitaph.
There's a Facebook group calling "Whinging" set up specifically for that sort of thing, and you probably know quite a few of the people in it. Want an invite?
Tempting, but that might be a slippery slope. Some of it goes beyond whinging, stuff that might be hurtful/embarrassing to individuals that I'm telling them to their faces but it isn't sinking in or is due in part to their own problems. I just need to shake them up a bit out of the ruts they have fallen into. My condition has moved rapidly downhill, and I need people to recognise that I sometimes need vastly different help one day to the next, while maintaining certan core elements; a certain amount of flexibility and communication is needed, not assumptions based on what I needed one day last month.
I am always glad to see you posting, no matter what it is that you have to say. I seldom use DW so I'm glad you "copied and pasted" to LJ.
How is B getting along? Tell me about your children. I imagine Catherine is finished with university, and I think Phoebe and James are finished or close to finishing.
I look forward to reading some of your stories when you get them on AO3. It's a stable archive and lots of people seem to be archiving their stories there because it is so dependable.
Okay, nearly forgot to get back to this *facepalm*[tucked under the cut]B is, in fact, not so good. Although he is limping along his condition is both painful and draining as there is no longer any bone left at the top of the femur. He got to the top of the queue for his hip replacement, but he had a small lower leg ulcer so it was cancelled. He has, however, been regraded as 'urgent' - which means we have to watch and wait. He has more recently been put on a drug to help with neuropathy in his feet, which had a really bad side effect and h-*e has stopped taking them and needs to sort it out with his GP. I might post more in a more private entry

Thank you for letting me know how everyone is doing. I pray that B can get back on the schedule for the hip replacement. I can't begin to imagine how painful this must be. Some of these newer drugs for neuropathies have very bad side effects, and I hope he will be able to find another

In another topic, AO3 is a great archive. It's a good thing for you to migrate your work over there.
