Mod MIA - HUGE APOLIGIES
For the good or bad, depending on your where you stand on the subject - I'm back!
So back in Aug, I was caring for a client through to her last days. I thought I was fine, but I really wasn't. I had been with Dorothy for 10 years and it was a lot harder to deal with. I suppose I was depressed beforehand then afterward... well it was difficult to just hang on to rl stuff like work. Anyhoo, fandom (reading/writing) took major backseat and I wallowed in my depression where I let things pile up at home (where I started to have pathways – scary!) and was just going through the motions. It's odd that another client who’s in sort of a similar situation has helped and pulled me out. I guess reminding me to rejoice in the moments we do have. And it’s not just me saying it, as the piles have decreased, laundry is done caught up and even put away – fandom wise: I even wrote and posted a couple of fics in my go to fandoms SGA and DA.
Though things are not perfect they’re getting better – I’m making them better, and near the top of my list of things I’m extremely grateful for is, YOU! Fandom, this comm and our continued love for Lorne.
Now on to business… This weekend I’ll be going through to check and add tags that need them. Also round up/post the Summer of Lorne masterlist (advance, thank you's go out to everyone that participated- especially those that continued on after I went mia)
Challenges- 12 days of Lorne, yes? A poll will follow, but I hope there’s some interest and excitement. Arg, I need to leave for work in a few minutes. Today/tomorrow/Friday is lots of craziness, but the weekend is mine. If you have any questions, concerns, complaints please address them here.
For those that celebrate – Happy Thanksgiving, and everyone else Happy Thursday – I ‘m raising my glass of cheer and thankfulness to ALL of you =)

I can empathise. My mother-in-law passed away last month. (I still have pathways in 2 rooms of the house, but at least it's no longer 5 rooms. Now if I could just lose the 5kg that I put on trying to help hubby who lost 5kg in the week after her death)
I is for...something. I think that's the other fic I was planning. In flagrante delicto, maybe?
