Where I’ve been and an apologia

[pjthompson]

I haven’t been around the blogosphere much lately, other than quotes of the day.  I haven’t really had much time and energy left over to participate on the interdweebs except in the most modest fashion.  I know I’ve been a slackard jerk and missed some commitments and deadlines.  For that, I apologize to anyone who I may have disappointed.

I’ve been hellaciously busy at work, exhausted, and nursing an undiagnosed infection for at least a month.  I’m on my second week of antibiotics and have spent a lot of time the last few days sickly and sleeping—both in my bed and in my reading chair.  Haven’t gotten much reading or much of anything else done, but I finally feel today as if I’m getting my feet back under me.  I wish I could say things will turn around and be spiffy from now on, but work will still be hellaciously busy when I get back to it, and there is the threat of medical procedures on the horizon, so I will probably remain distracted.

I’m thankful that my mom and I had such a lovely Thanksgiving with our friends, our family of choice, and I’m glad my mom is still with me this holiday season.  And I’m grateful for all my friends, online and off, and hoping things ease up soon.  I’m wishing for us all to have a peaceful, prosperous, and loving close to the year.

What, you have a life?

Is that allowed?

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think it is. We're supposed to be connected 24/7. :-)

Goodness gracious, don't apologize for being sick! I hope you feel better soon, and things slow down for you. *hugs*

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Me, too.

I hope you are fully on the mend and am glad to hear that you had your mother with you this Thanksgiving. I was cherishing Inquisitivelove's mom the entire time!

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's important to cherish while we have the opportunity. :-)

Take care of yourself.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Doing better today.

Hope you're well soon.

Thanks!

I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you--doing better today.

[darkspires.livejournal.com]

I hope your proceedures aren't like mine were. Glad to hear the meds are kicking in.

Major hugs.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Mostly minor, I hope. Thanks!

*hugs the stuffins outta you*

(which, depending on what you had for Thanksgiving, may be taken as literally as necessary.)

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Oof. Thanks. :-) We're making comfort food tonight: meatloaf, mashhead potatoes, peas, and biscuits. We gave most of the Tgiving leftovers away, so this is not as ambitious as it sounds.

Wow, sorry you are feeling bad! Wish I could bring you some chicken soup or something, but barring that you'll just have to receive some "feel better" mojo that I'm sending out over the innerwebs. Pace yourself, next year will be better!

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the virtual chicken soup. Much appreciated.

[geniusofevil.livejournal.com]

Ugh, sorry about the sick, glad your Thanksgiving was rewarding though!

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

Sorry you're feeling so crummy - hope it improves ASAP.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

A slackard jerk, eh?

I feel pretty much the same way when it comes to interacting online these days, but all of us have other aspects to our lives. We can't be 100% to all of them all of the time. Especially when you are sick (or have a newborn *wink*), so go easy on yourself. Hope you kick that infection soon.

*hugs*

Thanks, sweets. And you have nothing to feel guilty about, either. You're doing the most important thing in the world right now. :-)

*hugs back atcha*
