I'm alive. I've been sick. I'm better, but tired. And now I must go do my part of the pre-cooking for Thanksgiving, because we'll be driving most of tomorrow, and we want to be able to mostly just heat things up on the day. It'll just be three of us, I think, and I'm looking forward to knitting, spinning, writing, reading, and playing with the cat.

Beach later in the week, and then, even later, after a brief moment or two at home, a wedding. We will speak of that no more until I return to whine...

Sorting has continued, very slowly (there was lots of sleeping last week), and has spread to the earring mess in my closet (it was small! I could do it in bed!) and the confusion in the craft department, which is in the bedroom, so I could just stop and drop onto the bed when needed. Found the origami paper I was looking for! Found the size 0 Hiya Hiya dpns!

Knitting, spinning, and writing all took a hit when I was sick, because there was a lot of Tired and Dizzy (and huge case of Fuzzy Brain), which was mostly med side effects. Yay. Fortunately, I'm now moving along on all of those.

I've yet to do any volunteering, due to being sick, but I'll set things up when we get back next week.

I hope you are all in good health and spirits. Happy Holiday of Overindulgence and Gratitude to those of you celebrating!

Edited to clarify.

Sunday November 8 started fine. 3 happy silly Flat-Coats were playing. Then 10 year old Flyer fell over with a Grand Mal seizure. It stopped; she seemed okay. The vet said to bring her in the next day. That night, she had 2 more seizures; after the last one she was blind, disoriented, and weak.

They took blood; analyzed some there and sent the rest off for more specialized testing. We started her on phenobarb and prednisone to stop the seizures and prayed the lab would find an infection we could treat. Otherwise it would be a brain tumor, not uncommon in an older Flattie.

Over the week, she got weaker. Friday morning she woke us at 4AM with a seizure. She had another at 6:30 and yet another was starting at 7:15 when we arrived at the vet's office. That afternoon, the lab results came in. No infection. No hope for recovery. We gave her that last shot that sent her to the Rainbow Bridge.

She was the best dog I've ever had in 50+ years of living with multiple dogs. She was always willing to go anywhere, to try anything. She was my primary motivation to come back from my stroke in 2005. She needed her human to be able to take her places and do things with her.

Flyer has been gone almost a week now and our household just seems...wrong. Penny and Giddy are very subdued; Earl and I cry a lot. We miss her more than words can express.

octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed!

gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i>

vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. Pending/WIP.

Please keep in mind that I will be retiring Vagrant Story and Gotham Gazette if no further interest is shown.

And,

Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker.

It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans.

Two important polls need to be voted on, as seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, etc. This asylum will continue to be WIP until further interest is shown.

I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs.
