I'm Still Standing...well, mostly

[rosaw]

This is just to keep this journal alive and send up a signal that I am, in fact, not dead.

I'm nearly caught up on my sleep (strange not to need 4 cups of coffee before 10 am).
I'm catching up on Smallville and Stargate (finally).
I've started watching all the Joan of Arcadia I can TiVO (eyes flummery with a wary but happy smile). I think I may even be able to use some of the episodes in a class next spring.
I'm writing my diss.
I'm planning my week vacation in Oaxaca Mexico. Mostly what I'm trying to do is not plan, as I usually treat vacation as "intensive learning experiment" rather than "time for rest and relaxation."
I have submitted a drabble to the remus_remix and I am both nervous and excited as I have not written any fanfiction in a couple of years. Honestly, I have several drafts of stories that are less than half finished from other diss writing binges. It seems that when my dissertation is moving along, I tend to write other stuff as well. But this is very exciting.
Plus, I'm apparently having a summer, which I haven't done in 5 years. I always teach summer school, but in light of needing to finish the d, I am sitting around reading and writing this summer.
I will try to both post and have more interesting things to say.

Behind on email still, yes. But not dead. :-)

Yikes. (On the other hand, should you ever visit me and my espresso machine, you can have a 4-shot espresso every morning... if you need one.)

Yay! not dead!

I had started to wonder. =)

Also, yay, Joan! and writing! You always have fun and interesting things to say; but I will not turn up my nose at the bit about posting more

Glad to know you're both alive and still kicking. *g*

Enjoy your summer and good luck with the diss.

I'm glad to hear you're doing okay and managing to fit in some satisfying and relaxing things. I think of you often.

Also glad to hear of the not deadness, and grabbing this opportunity to thank you most emphatically for your note and your offer, even if I haven't taken you up on it yet. I think of you and Maygra a lot as I'm going through all of this. {{{{you}}}} It's good just to know you're there.

Glad to hear you're not dead. Rest and relax. It would be good to see you sometime this summer!

::pounces on you and hugs you::

That pounce was long overdue.

Oh, I envy your opportunity to read and think and write! I'm glad to hear you're writing fic again, too. And I hope you're enjoying Smallville.
