I used to enjoy LJ greatly, prattling on about this and that, using this as a space to journal my thoughts and track my feelings (and see what other folks posted, too). In the process, it helped me get to know a bunch of other people (initially) and then, because the timing was right, to maintain contact with SoCal folks when I moved to the PacNW (and get to know PacNW folks better, too).

FB's easier to access and post to, but that doesn't mean it's a better experience, just different. For me, it's far more for posting photos on the fly and sharing interesting/worthwhile/funny links and/or pics than journalling. Some folks use it differently, I know. For some, FB may satisfy the needs that LJ used to satisfy for me. FB fails to scratch some social/connection itch I had/have that LJ did.

Yeah, this is gonna be a big focus for the next chunk o' time here. More details to come, but not 'til tomorrow's confirmation of schedule comes through, as there's still room for a small or large change in plans 'n' even in the Dx. The latter could even Cx current plans, but hopefully this won't be the case. Suffice it to say (again) that I'm girding my loins, marshaling my resources, putting feelers out for info 'n' support, and preparing to skirmish against bad sh!t on behalf of a new Dear Friend. Okay, more appropriate to say I'll be providing support for m'Dear Friend's own battle w/his nasty nemesis.

I will say that my OKC experience is NOT like yours, I betcha...nosireebob.

Extra-special parallel trend-setting uber-negativeness b'c dear sweet kittenhead Havana's done come down w/a very similar situation herself. Playing God ain't fun, really truly. She's not currently in pain or too weak from not eating/keeping food down, so all's well for now, even though really all will not be well, ultimately. ETD = unknown. I've got anti-pain meds for her if'n they become necessary (and then only to tide her over 'til we visit the vet once that time comes). Quality of life matters muchly.

And 'round 'n' 'round we go, and where we stop, nobody knows. Grab the brass ring, chuck it through the hole, listen to the melodium, catch hold, strap in, hang on. Fark it. Grab your sweetie and hold her/him/zima tight to your chest. Treasure the time you have. Make the most of it. Enjoy & appreciate each day, each moment, each bittersweet morsel.

Live & Love Well.

Feeling like there's stuff I wanna say, stuff I wanna process 'n' work through, but then whenever I come here and start tip-tapping away, there's nada coming out. *sigh* ( Gonna Try & See What Comes Out )

One-and-a-half days after one-and-a-half weeks away. Feeling like I need more decompression now than before. Don't know for sure whether this is so. One reason I blog about this is so I have a record, so I can go back and see whether these feelings are valid (these feelings = whether it takes longer now than before). Yes, I try to keep track of my intuition. Am I binding it? Am I dissecting it to no good effect? Am I not seeing the unicorn for what it really is?( Read more... )

Okay, to return to the qx from that Ask Me Anything meme from a while back. This required serious ruminating. Now some ideas're getting ready to calve...not sure whether they're ready for prime time, but coming out anyway:

A Declaration: I hereby anoint this year and make this wish: To Be At Peace As Much As Possible. To BAPAMAP. And so 'tis so. *sigh* Muted cheers...background kazoo noises...calming, soothing noise.

It doesn't matter if'n it takes longer, so long as I have the luxury of bandwidth (time/energy/resources) to take it. Recharging in PJs on the couch in the sunlight now. Will increase the storage capacity and charge by walkies outside later on. Day in, day out, getting out is good.
