She's in a really good mood today. Thankfully, she doesn't seem to be picking up on our stress over the hospital visit.

Y HALO THAR, FLIST! Or shall I call you my circle?

I am busy getting content together for [community profile] three_weeks_for_dw. So far I have some journal headers, my Mikeyway fic project, and a picspam in the making. I plan to make icons, more headers, and more picspammy stuff. Also, hopefully I'll finish my hurt/comfort Waycest fic soon and be able to post that.

Here's my plan for [community profile] three_weeks_for_dw: COMMENTING MORE. I have been trying to comment more at DW instead of LJ for awhile now, but I plan to step it up. POSTING CONTENT TO DW ONLY. That's pretty much what the fest is about, anyway. ADDING MORE PEOPLE TO MY DW CIRCLE. I've been doing this, but I'm sure there will be more awesome people I will find during the fest. FRIENDING MEME. Maybe. I want more bandom on DW. COMMENT FIC. I'm ... not quite working on my prompts yet, but I will!

What else, what else. If you are reading me on LJ, please remember that for about the next month or so I will be posting things at DW that are only here. So check often if you don't have a DW account. (or you could just get a DW account, add me to your circle, and go from there :D)

I have some new friends, so I am thinking of writing an ABOUT ME post. I might be confusing to new people, I'm not sure. I also want to write a WHY JUDAISM post, about what brought me to the religion and why it resonates with me.

My BADD post is done and ready to be posted on May 1st. It took a lot out of me writing it, but I think it is an important post that needed to be written, and while it sickens and angers me, I am glad I wrote it.

Are you participating in BADD?

Blogging Against Disablism Day


You don't have to write a post -- people who listen and learn are just as important.

And NEWS: I forgot to post this, but the hospital re-RE-scheduled Meg's tests (the flim-flamming bastards). We will be going in to Shands on Monday after all. Which means I will be AFK a lot, but I do have a hotel room with internet booked, so I will be around when I can be.

Goooooooood morning, internets!

I woke up to it again -- TMI of the poopy variety )

I finished my dS fic and sent it off to beta. It's a full 10k over what it was supposed to be. But yay writing! Today I hope to start on my Vampire Big Bang because the story has been banging around in my head and I need to tell it.

I want to write the werewolf fic, but it doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.

I am not signing up for any more challenges. Nope.

I am going to post a poll and prompt post later for [community profile] three_weeks_for_dw. I will write short fics (ha) and writing meta (double ha) on the topics YOU choose. But the content will only be at DW, so keep an eye on this journal.

I'm considering not crossposting for three weeks. I don't know if I can doooo it. Maybe I just won't crosspost the actual ficlets and meta.

There wasn't a lot of interest on my poll about Get Mikey Laid. I'm assuming that is because my flist is smallish on the bandom side? It CANNOT be because people don't like Mikey. I refuse to believe that. I still think I will try to run a smallish fest for it, though, and hope with some advertising it garners more support.

I would like a larger bandom community on Dreamwidth. Maybe I will start a squee comm, where comment fic and picspams as well as longer fics are welcome. Is anyone interested in something like that? I could start with a friending meme for DW and then move on from there. IDK, just thinking out loud.

yuck

cut for TMI of the poopy variety )

I'm writing! This fic wants to be longer. I just want to finish it. It's like a standoff between me and the fic, the fic and me.

So how are YOU doing today?
green: raven (Default)
The hospital called and rescheduled Meg's stay for May 24-29. It's a hassle for Mom's work because she already got off for this month and now she has to figure something else out for May, but the hotel booking was not hard to change at all.

hiiiiii

My project is proceeding apace. LOL I LIKE SAYING THAT. Seriously though, I'm doing this awesome thing and I want to share it with you so badly, but part of me wants to keep it a secret. YOU WILL KNOW IN DUE TIME. hint: right now I'm writing the Mikey/Gabe parts and it is awesome. And I have 13k words written so far.

Meg is sick today, woe. Throwing up sick. WOE.

I have a date on Wednesday. I don't know much about the guy other than he's smart and funny, but he's 24 and probably too immature for me. WE WILL SEE.

Ended up seeing Clash of the Titans instead of the dragon movie. Which was fine. The movie was awesomely bad and I got the fit of the giggles several times during.

Meg keeps pulling her hair out. So we cut her hair shorter, hoping that would help. I meant to take a picture tonight before she went to bed, but I forgot. :\

My back is killing me. Lidocaine patches are not working, so I took some Lortab and now I'm hoping for the best.

I wish I had more to say. :\

Adam came over and I'm feeling better. Just talking has helped a LOT.

Meg went to the doctor today because her toe was all bloody and weird. She has a slight infection, so the doctor gave her some antibiotics.

Did I mention I'm feeling better? I don't want to die anymore, and my mood is up. My head still feels scrambled, but at least I'm talking in complete sentences again.

Thank you for all the hugs and good thoughts.

At approximately four in the morning, the boys started throwing up. They apparently never learned how to use a toilet for such things, so I was in two separate rooms, cleaning vomit off the floor. And then Meg woke up with a poopy diaper, and I cleaned THAT up. Finally I was able to go back to bed, and then in the morning it started all over again.

HI. Talk to me?
green: raven (Default)
Meg is home sick from school today, so I have all three LOUD CHILDREN in my house, driving me crazy. SEND HALP.

In other news, GERARD WAY YOU RIDICULOUS MAN. Oh guys, my love for him is infinite.
green: raven (Default)
Today I am at Adam's house. He's got chickens and goats and a dog that behaves, and all kinds of cool things for the boys to get into. Right now Z is hunting arrowheads and a little while ago the boys were driving the golf cart around. I am borrowing Adam's mom's computer to post this and talk to Andrea and Kat online. I'm having a good day.

Still no news on my mom's boyfriend. It's a weird situation that I might post about locked one of these days.

I really wish I could write, but I can't do it with the kids around. My mind just won't let me. I'm so afraid I'll lost my writing mojo.

I'm so fucking horrendously anxious about Meg's upcoming tests. I don't remember if I've posted about it, but we are going to be scheduled for a five day hospital stay with her so she can have a long video EEG and an MRI. The last time we did that, it was several years ago and I had a prolonged panic attack. At least this time I will have medication and I can drug myself to the eyeballs with Ativan if need be.

My boys are great. They are really, really good kids who got stuck with a shitty situation where they don't see me very often, and it's hard on them but they're resilient and funny and so smart and I love them so, so much.

Meg is anxious with them around, though. They're too noisy and active, and she's pulling her hair out in chunks. I wish things were different.

My mom's boyfriend is in the hospital with heart and lung problems. I hope he's okay, because mom loves him a whole lot.

Hi. I'm still alive.

The doctor put me on some new meds the other day: the T3 thyroid pill and lithium. I am tentatively declaring it the best thing that's happened to me all year.

In embarrassing news, I started smoking again. I feel really guilty about it. And I can't afford it.

I've been watching The West Wing for the first time. I'm on season 6 already because I've been mainlining it and not doing anything else except take care of Meg.

Still can't get Meg's seizures under control. We're taking her to Gainesville in about a month for a hospital stay and to get some new eyes on her case. Her main neurologist says she's the hardest case he's ever had.

My mom is having trouble with her heart. There's a lot of different things going on and she just got put on four medications in the past two weeks. On top of that she has to have her gall bladder out. Normally it's a pretty easy procedure, but with the heart problems there's increased risk of course.

The boys are coming for Thanksgiving. I've missed them so much but I'm worried I won't be able to handle the stress.

I'm sorry for isolating so much. The depression gets so bad I can't see or feel anything in front of me.

Meg had some pretty bad seizures today and didn't bounce back from them like usual, so we spent most of the day in the ER. Not fun. Everything's okay now, Meg's back at home and feeling better. I'm so tired I want to cry.
green: raven (Default)
It is so fucking hot. I could deal with the heat, though, if not for the humidity. It's like a fucking sauna outside, and no breeze at all. UGH. It's currently 95 degrees, although weather.com tells me it FEELS LIKE 107. Not that I needed weather.com to tell me what I already fucking know. Fucking Florida. >:(

Besides being disgusted by the weather, I'm feeling pretty good. I am awake! This is the best I hoped for last week, just being awake is wonderful. I feel better, too. I'm not as depressed. This is after two days of Pristiq, and apparently after 2 weeks I should feel the full effects. \o/

I'm still not up to writing, but I've been RPing and that's gone well so far. I don't feel apathetic about it or anything!

Meg has been sick. For a few days she did nothing but sleep, and then yesterday she had all the funtimes of a stomach virus. Today she's still got diarrhea but is not throwing up. *keeps fingers crossed*

But today I have to leave the house and go to the store. No matter how much better I'm feeling, I still have crippling agoraphobia and leaving the house, even though I have to, is a big production. But I do have to or there will be no food. Siiiiiiiigh. I'll do it. I can dooooo it.

I don't wanna do it.

That is all today, I think. You can tell I'm doing better because I wrote more than one line!

I have 4400 words of fic but it's messy and needs a complete overhaul. I don't even know what I'm doing with it, or if I'm going to finish it or what. I kind of don't like it very much right now.

I went to see Terminator Salvation yesterday with Adam. It was okay, but I mostly just looked at Anton Yelchin and sighed. It's awesome to see him without the accent, and he's cute as a button. Christian Bale did nothing for me.

Meg is having a lot of seizures today. :\ I don't know what's going on with her. We upped one of her medications recently, and that should have helped, but it's not.
green: raven (Default)
I finally figured out how to turn off custom comment pages on DW. Boy, am I slow.

I have gotten a lot of writing done! I'm almost finished with the second draft of my Kirk/McCoy fic. It still needs a lot of work, but the scenes are coming along well.

Meg's support plan is a mess. She's been given 5 1/2 hours a week of personal care, which is NOT ENOUGH. There's like, three hours of respite in there a week, too. Still, not enough. Working with her new support coordinator is like pulling teeth. Her old support coordinator quit in December, and we've been stuck with this new one since then. I don't like her at all. She's not as committed as Nora was, and supplies aren't coming on time and UGH. It's hard enough to deal with the day to day stuff; I hate having to worry about services, too.

(for those who are new to my journal, Meg is my 13 year old daughter. She has autism, cerebral palsy, and profound mental retardation)

Now I will write a little more before Meg gets home from school. Thank you to everyone who has been cheering me on! ♥
