I've been writing online for thirty years. One of these days I might actually get good at it.

    Falling behind

    I'm getting to the point where just keeping up is beyond my dwindling capacities. I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect I'm not going to like it when I find out.

    Anyway, I apologize for having been such a lousy correspondent this year.

    Having gone wandering off somewhere

    Of late, I seem to have been overtaken by events: my health has taken a turn for the worst, I wrecked my car, and the guy they hired to help me out at work has moved away. (Another guy has drawn the short straw.) I'm still alive, but it's not something I much feel like bragging about.

I posted it here, and it was well received; our own Twifight Sparkill came up with an idea, and heck, there's no reason you shouldn't see it here, especially since she's revised it to give me a more, um, scholarly look.

    Back in the Real World

    I think I would rather spend two weeks in the Everfree, trying to avoid everything that can kill me, and in the Everfree I assume everything can kill me, than one more minute in a hospital room.

    That said, their definition of "on the mend" doesn't quite coincide with mine.

Not even dead yet · 3:19am Mar 14th, 2015

Two words: "cancer screening."

Test results: negative.

For the moment, anyway. I still feel like crud warmed over, and not especially warm at that, but hey, I'll take it.

Please continue in your efforts to not be dead. Thank you.

Glad to hear you're doing alright.

I've lost a job or two in my time. It sucks out loud.

I've always had this gut feeling that cancer was something that got released when everything else in the medical dictionary had unaccountably failed to kill you. Not having had everything else, I suppose I'm safe for now. :rainbowlaugh:

I do what I can, up to a point. (Where that point is, exactly, I'm not entirely sure.)
