I am alive!

The computer bit the dust rather unexpectedly, but now I'm back with a new machine. Lots of stuff to update, but since I'm half asleep right now...it will have to wait until morning.

A moment of happiness,
you and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.
We feel the flowing water of life here,
you and I, with the garden's beauty
and the birds singing.
The stars will be watching us,
and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon.
You and I unselfed, will be together,
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.
The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I.
In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land.

- Rumi

...for the time being.

Quick update: My SOI membership lapsed and I'm in the process of renewing. Really, I am. Life on the home front is nuts as always- there are still certain things that are up in the air, but I think I'm surviving. I've had an ear infection, and vertigo. Whee!

I've also created a journal for random Sims-related stuff. Friend if you're interested, ignore if you're not.

Will be back soon with a genuine update.

Why is it that every time I'm close to catching up with and/or reconnecting with old friends, life goes insane?

It's December again, and time for another family medical crisis. It's just beginning, and I'm hoping to be able to make it through this with my sanity intact.

I'm not holding out much hope for that, honestly.

Any positive thoughts and/or energy that you might be able to spare during the next few weeks would be greatly appreciated.

...but sometimes they're necessary, at least for your own peace of mind.

If you have any positive thoughts/energy/good vibes to spare, please send 'em mom's way this week. She's facing some potentially nasty medical stuff, and any and all help in bringing about the best prognosis possible would be much, much appreciated.

Thanks.

I zapped 94 friends with Boutell's Friendzapper. Then runrunmarch zapped me!</a>

Enjoy.
