Just saying hi

[verucasalt123]

I was at my grandmother's last week, there was, of course, no wifi. Got home Saturday night & a tree had fallen in my yard, knocking out the power and cable. It must have been days because I literally had to throw away everything in my fridge & freezer because it was rotten.

Power company had s truck & a crew at my house 45 minutes after I called, on a Saturday night. Comcast still has not fixed my Internet. I've had more than a dozen angry phone calls, which resulted in me getting a credit for this month's bill and half price service for the next 6 months.

I wanted to check in, even though posting from my phone is a pain in the ass.

RL has kicked the shit out of me all week. Very glad I learned better coping skills better than when I looked for every answer at the bottom of a bottle or the end of a row of shot glasses. It's a nice feeling, to not even consider the possibility of getting drunk.

Still, I am slowly but surely working on Sastiel since I had to drop out of DCBB. I just keep hoping I will get a minute to catch my breath and calm down.

Hope all my LJ friends are doing well!!

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that you had to drop out of DCBB. I was looking forward to reading yours!

I know, I'm hoping to find inspiration to finish it and maybe it can be my DCBB for next year. I don't know what happened, I got 6k words in and then just couldn't do anything else with the story. It could be a good fic, but I can't see it being finished anytime soon.

Sorry about your troubles, but glad you didn't turn to booze to deal with them. My mother used to do that, and it wreaked havoc on me growing up.

I'm recuperating from two back surgeries, much more slowly than I would like.

Good to hear from you, my friend. This too shall pass.

Love,
Robin

<3 for the 'Ruca! So sorry you had to drop out ot the DCBB, I had to on the WBB.

Take care of yourself, love - that's most important! I hope things start to get better.

~XOXO~

Glad to see you around, sorry for all the trouble. If you have homeowners or renter's insurance, and you think you may have thrown away more than $400 worth of food, you may be able to claim it.

Nice job with your newfound coping skills. I know it's not easy.

Sorry that RL has given you a hard time lately, but you seem to be handling it well.
Hope all gets better and calms down soon.

*hugs*

Sorry for all the RL madness! Comcast is the worst company ever. Glad I have nothing to do with them. I hope things start running smoothly for you again immediately! And I'm so glad you're still in on the Sastiel Big Bang. Love your Sassy stories. I'm having fun with the challenge (am about to beta someone's fic, a first for me in fandom) and can't wait to see if I get an artist, and what everyone else came up with... <3

Glad things are starting to look up. Take a breath! And read a favorite fic. Always works for me. :)

Sorry to hear about the power and the internet, but really happy that the coping skills you've developed are serving you well. Sending you good thoughts!
