Ugh. I know I haven't posted since, like, the beginning of time, but I thought I'd pop my head up and let anybody who's still reading this know that I'm not actually dead yet. So: my life recently in bullet form!

• My old junker car was perilously close to giving up the ghost (as they always seem to do right in the middle of the winter), and I had to get a new one. In the interest of not dumping tons of time and money into another junker that's just going to die a year from now, we bought a new (-ish) car. It's a wonderful vehicle, except for the part where it cost about $200 less than my total annual income.
• Speaking of total annual income, I just did my taxes and found out that I would owe the federal govt. $500 if it weren't for the academic credits I get for tuition. As it is, I'm breaking even.
• I sold my old car for less than a thousand dollars. Considering that it had a bent frame, no functioning dash lights, a radiator leak, a rattling muffler, and a hood that had to be opened with a jury-rigged bent clothes-hanger hooked to the release, that's not actually that bad a deal.
• I started classes, full-time. And I'm applying for another job, which will bring my working hours up to 45 hours/week and my free time down to zero. And still no health insurance or bennies. I haven't had a day off since the last time I called in sick, which was, oh, thirteen months ago. Give or take.
• I still have not caught up with SPN. I keep meaning to, but it keeps not happening. I have been addicted recently to Leverage, Sherlock Holmes, and 80's Brat Pack movies, but I haven't actually had any time to write. It doesn't look like I'll be getting any anytime soon, either. :/
• I've pretty much quit drinking. I can't afford the time sink. Although in the interest of having one awful health habit at all times, I'm considering taking up smoking again...

Anyway...I miss you all. I miss fandom. I will be back....

Hey! It's awesome to hear that you're still alive. As much as I wish you had time to update your CSI fic, I am amazed by how much you're dealing with and hope you just have time to relax, and probably catch up on all the sows you want.

Good luck with the classes and finding a job! You're clearly smart, creative and hardworking, and I believe in you and your ability to do well, and hope that life gets better and better.
