checking in

I'm still here; unfortunately, we haven't found the right meds for D's complications so no one is sleeping for more than a couple of hours at a time and we're all getting a little testy with each other.

Really, all I'm doing is working and feeding people and trying to carve out a bit of time here and there to not feel like a robot. (Mostly, this is dedicated to getting words down on virtual paper, and to that end, I realized as I was doing my August EOM counts for [community profile] getyourwordsout that I actually had written something every day during the month, yay? Also to that end, the Darcy/Bucky fic I've been noodling along on is up over 24K words posted, so I'm throwing out that link here, too: waiting in the eye of the storm (so far, 9 chapters of a rated T sloooooow burn.)

We'd sort of planned on doing a bit of DragonCon, but I really can't leave D (he's fallen a couple of times b/c he's so tired) and between that and the university kids being back to class full-time and covid, I don't think we're going to do anything. We'll see if T feels like going later, but... I think I'm going to give it a rest this year. I know I don't have the energy to really go full-tilt. Maybe we'll have this sorted out by next year, fingers crossed.

That's about all I've got brain power for--mostly, I just wanted to say hi b/c you know you people have kept me sane over the years and I do appreciate all of you. *mwhah*

Hi!

I hope some relief will come for both you and D soon.

I'm sorry things are still rough. Sending good thoughts that the doctor will be able to figure something out and soon.

I'm impressed that you've been able to write that much! I'm really loving "waiting in the eye of the storm" so far. I really just want to smoosh them together going "now kiss," so you're definitely working that slow burn!

Here's hoping for next year's Dragon Con everything is in a better place.

I'm sorry the right meds haven't been found. That has to be all kinds of frustrating.
