Hem hem...

So... Yeah. I'm not really on LJ anymore, am I?

That sucks. It was a good thing for a while, but at some point, it started sucking. So maybe this means I'll be a more frequent participant in the near future. I'm starting to catch up on what's been going on with all of you, but, yeah. It's going to take a while.

Life here is continuing in a fairly normal (for us) way. Well, except for me now being employed. It's a part-time, temporary gig, and hopefully the physical labor involved won't kill me, however, I've already earned enough to buy myself a new and good pair of walking shoes. So yay.

Page is in 4th grade. New school. Same problems. I told him today that if there's another incident with this one kid, everyone is going to start looking at it as if he's bullying him, and there might be something to that accusation. He took that to heart, but it still doesn't help. (Poor kids. Both of them. Page is really annoyed by this kid, but I think that this kid really likes Page. I'm not sure what to do... I've advised Page to stay away from him, but, well... That doesn't solve any problems, now does it?)

Geoff is currently five days overdue to return from a three-day business trip, and he won't be coming back till Friday. Late. I asked him if it was possible to set a limit, but, well... He was okay with the Friday limit, though. He'd told the client-boss that tomorrow was the limit, but that was before the thingamajigger had an allergic reaction to the new driver and came down with (cove) light hives. In a planetarium (and other theaters), cove lights being on during the show is a bad thing. It kinda ruins visibility.

And me... It's been a rough week. I've been fighting some bug, Page has been acting up, my new cell phone wasn't working (which caused problems at work - minor, but there), friends are being... *sigh* aggravating, and I'm not getting enough sleep. Oh, and the stress that that new respiratory bug is in NH, which makes me nervous every time Page coughs (which he's been doing more of this week. Probably because of all the cereal he's been eating...). All that has added up to me being utterly and completely useless. Useless to the point of saying that, sure, cereal is a perfectly acceptable breakfast and dinner. And not going in to class yesterday because it would have been an exercise in futility. Droopy, drooly futility. And watching fluffy princess movies instead of doing research...

On the plus side (something I notice most of you have been doing, btw. yay!), starting today I am covered by health insurance. My phone now works. Geoff is getting at least a little sleep every night. Page has hit the ten-year-old sweetness phase. I might have found my muse again...

So, while I'm not looking forward to two more days without a spouse, I think at some point today I started feeling better, so perhaps I'll be able to start scrabbling up the walls of responsibility in the morning. Hope so. There's lots to do, and no one but me to do it.

Hope all of you are well.

*hugs* I'm glad to see you again on LJ, and very glad you are now covered by health insurance. Are you still in school?

*hugs back* I think it's good to be back. It's certainly good to "see" you again!

I am still in school. It's the last year, and possibly the last semester of my associates. I hope to test out of the last two classes in the spring. *hopes hard*

Good to see you again. Sorry life isn't very cooperative lately, but hopefully it will smooth out once again.

{{Hugs}}

Good to see you, too!

Eh, when is life ever really cooperative? It plays at it sometimes, but we know its game... ;-)

{{hugs back}}

We are well, glad you are too. Haven't been much on LJ myself. No real posting. Hate the new layout and look.

Loves you, Sonia :)

I'm glad you are well! Yeah, I'm of two minds of the new layout. In some ways it's nice (filtering), but it sure is harsh and ugly. *shrugs*

Loves ya back!

*hugs*

It's good to hear from you again. Hopefully things settle with Page and that boy soon. And yay for a job that enables you to buy things you need!

*hugs back*

Yay dancing brain stem! Er, I mean, Yay Paisleysnail! ;-)

There's signs of hope where Page is concerned. And, yes, having a job is good. Hopefully it will offset our mounting expenses for a bit... *meeps*

In all of this, I am left wondering how Geoff manages for clean clothes when his trips run over by several days... Yeah, I know. I could be wondering about more serious stuff.

It's lovely to see you on LJ again.

Honestly, I did wonder that myself for this trip. I imagine he bought himself more unders, but as for shirt and pants... Washing them in the hotel laundry every other night? No idea. Not sure I want to know...

*hugs* Good to see you, too!
