*Pokes head up out of prairie dog hole*
Sorry I've been MIA! I've been so caught up in RL lately that I haven't been able to do much more than check up on LJ now and then. Mostly, I've spent the last several weeks driving back and forth to Pgh to make sure Mom and her caregiver are OK (which they are, thank goodness), dealing with an insanely micro-managing boss at work, and--oh yes--successfully finding a new job to get away from said boss. *BG* (It's actually not that big a switch; I'm just moving down the hall to a different department. But my new soon-to-be-boss is an absolute sweetheart, bless him!)
I know I'm MONTHS overdue on an update to my Chlark fic (actually, it's more like a year overdue *blushes*). I have been working on a new chapter, but taking care of an elderly parent via long distance is, I've discovered, incredibly time consuming. It seems as if every time I sit down to write, the phone rings or something else comes up that needs my attention. Not that I'm complaining, because it's a huge relief to me to know that my mother is happy and well. Still, the interruptions wind up taking me out of the story, and it's very hard to get back in. It's frustrating to *know* what I want to do with my story and not be able to do it!
As for SV, I haven't watched it in ages, so the finale next week doesn't mean that much to me. It stopped being the show I loved a long time ago. In fact, I can hardly wait until it's off the air, leaving fanficcers like me free to ignore the show's "canon", such as it is. *Rubs hands gleefully*
All the same, I don't regret being a fan of the show--because if I hadn't watched SV, I would never have met any of you. :) I will always be grateful for the friends I made through SV, and the good times we've shared. *Huggles you all* I hope you've all been well!
