Long time no...post
Nov. 3rd, 2021 02:17 pmWell, it's definitely been a long time. I kind of got out of the habit of posting much anyway after that lousy experience with fanlore people combing through my old LJ posts and putting things up and labeling them "essays," anyway, but even within that framework, I haven't been able to find the energy to write anything up. It's just been...a time. So many things have gone wrong and life has been such a clusterfuck that it's sapped what little will to live I have had.
( First, the computer died )
( Then the car )
There's also a couple of significant things going on with my house I have to get help for, if I can. It's just...a lot. I did find someone to help me with my yard upkeep, which has gone completely out of control because arthritis is just eating me alive. She's really cool but it's definitely an expense on top of everything else. Most days I just sort of want to hunker down and cry. But I signed up for Yuletide and am hoping this won't be the first time I ever have to default, even if my assignment is really confusing and has some conflicting information, making it hard to know how to proceed.
The plan tomorrow is to see Eternals with
minim_calibre, god willing and the crick don't rise, because we've now descended into the Noah's flood portion of our fall/winter. We had a nice couple days this weekend, probably the last we'll have for months, and I got to take the water taxi across the bay and meet up with a friend from out of town, have fancy brunch and tour the Pike Place Market with her. She gave me a Sam Cap/Bucky arm ugly Christmas sweater as an early birthday present, and it's hilarious and I'll have to take a picture at some point.
