Getting back in the swing of things. I hope.

[severity_softly]

Lookie! I made a Fulchy icon!

I have had the worst headaches of all headaches for the last two days. Well, maybe not the worst; at least I don't get migraines like some of the people I love do. But they're pretty bad headaches on my scale of headacheyness. Yes, it's a word. >.> Anyway, maybe caffeine will help. I need to go get a Vault.

Annnd I'm back (several hours later, and mostly headache free). And speaking of back, I really want to get back in the swing of LJ and fandom again. I feel so distanced. I haven't read my flist in ages, and I haven't written a solo fic in a long time. Also, innerslytherin has assured me that there are many lovely and talented people writing Rossi/Prentiss these days. Yum. :)

innerslytherin and I have posted two fics this month after a long drought. Oh, we've never stopped writing, but our fics have been sitting in Google Docs. "The Vault" as our friends have dubbed it. So we released two from the vault. The first one we posted this month was like 2 years old, to give you an idea of how freaking full the vault is. lol Hopefully we are going to keep going on posting. (And it's sort of amazing, after checking on the date of the first fic we posted this month, to realize just how long we've been in the CM fandom! Holy crap!)

The vomiting seems to be under control as long as I'm on acid blockers. They did an ultrasound to check me out and found nothing that would cause me to vomit, but found out I have a fatty liver. Hurray! Wonderfully irreversible, but I can take steps to keep it from getting worse. Anyway, back to the vomiting, though, this Thursday I get to sit in a hospital for several hours while they run some test to check my gallbladder, and then scope me. I hate hospitals. The last time I had to have a test run there, I laid on the gurney thing crying while I waited for them to take me in. Fun, fun, fun.

Also? I curse like a sailor coming out of anesthesia. XD

It's looking less and less like I might get promoted, which probably has to do with how much I've been sick this year. They also hired this new guy (I think I've mentioned him before. Loudmouth?) who has hotel management experience. And I've recently found out that when the managers have both been gone, they have been leaving certain people "in charge". Never me. And maybe that's because more problems happen on second shift, but its still makes me feel on shaky ground. *sigh* I think maybe it's time I REALLY start looking for a new job. One where I don't have to stand all day, don't have to deal much with the public, and preferably have benefits. I mean, we have insurance through the the husband's job, but paid time off and vacation time would be awesome.

Oh. Awesome. The headache is back. *headdesk*

if you didn't see the post-ep for minimal loss that i wrote, go check it out at either the fan fic tag on my journal or on the rossi/prentis comm. i'm rather proud of my first CM fic!

glad to see you back!

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

Welcome back. I'm so sorry that you've been having these medical issues and I hope things get better for you soon.

I'm actually wanting to take a step back from fandom but I'm not sure how to do it. I want to keep writing and stuff but....its complicated. Anyhoo, welcome back.

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Cool! I actually kinda hated that episode, but I have read some good post-ep fic even on episodes I didn't particularly care for (in fact, I liked Innerslytherin's pos-ep ficlet on this episode). I'll check it out!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

LOL It seems like the last few times I've talked to you, you've been talking about distancing yourself from fandom!

I apparently have this ability to just totally drop out of things, and I did. And it felt sort of nice not to feel chained to LJ, but at the same time, I do miss fandom and interacting with other writers/readers. And I hate that I haven't kept up with some of my favorite people.

(((hugs)))

I HATE vomiting. I'm so sorry you're going through all this. Please be well soon.

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

Yeah, see how hard it is. I think as long as I'm writing, its gonna be difficult. And I just love writing soooooo much...all kinds of good things have been happening in my head and on the page. I'm writing my first case fic.

But that's neither here nor there. I'm glad you're back and hope you catch up and keep up if that's what you want to do.

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

I want to be! *hugs*

[innerslytherin]

You need to rewatch that episode. You've only ever seen it once, right? Geez, girl! ;)

[innerslytherin]

You should be proud of that! :)

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

Once was enough! You'd have to come down here and tie me down.

(rowr)

[innerslytherin]

Yeah, we need to do something about this.

Why didn't they check your gallbladder during the ultrasound? That's how they checked mine. Or did the ultrasound make them want to check you more? Hmm.

*snuggles tight*

I agree that you should look for a different job. Don't look at my company, obviously, since those jobs are going away. But yeah, you're probably right, the sickness, despite not being your fault, doesn't usually sit well with management. It's frustrating on both ends -- you don't like being sick and they don't like being without someone. :( Hopefully the doctors will figure out what's going on with you and you can get past the vomiting for sure and be able to go back to being a model employee. ;)

<3

YOU KNOW I'm going to make you watch it now!

[severity-softly.livejournal.com]

They did check my gallbladder in the ultrasound. My thinking, and I could be wrong, is that you can see superficially if the gallbladder is working with ultrasound, but this test shows you HOW WELL it's working. I dunno. I just know they have to inject me with dye, and then apparently I have to lay there for about two hours. NOT. FUN.

[innerslytherin]

Yeah, maybe that's the case. :( That sucks though. I hope they find out what's wrong with this test. *snuggles tight* Can you listen to your ipod while you're doing that? You could listen to podfic or an audiobook or something maybe.

Awww, I'm sorry about the medical crap. I went through a period through high school and college where I vomited a lot, and I know how annoying and just plain crappy that is. I hope they can figure out what is wrong.

The R/P fandom has grown! There are a lot of great stories out there. And I am THRILLED fics are being released from the vault. Any chance the next installment of A Change of Plans might be escaping...

[cordeliadelayne]

*twirls you in a non-vomit inducing way* It's nice to see you, sweetie!

[katewallace.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Glad you're back ! I hope they find out what's wrong and can make it better. And good luck on the job-hunting front...yeah, standing on your feet all day just sucks! And the less you have to deal with the public, the better. *more hugs*
