Is This Thing On??
....Nope, she's not dead. Nope, she hasn't given up on any of her writing.

No, alas, there isn't an update to "Dark Leaf" yet.

I'm sorry I've been gone so long.... <3

Dreamwidth...
Does anyone have an invite code they're not using? I'd love to poke around--been on the discussion group for the formation of it and all--but can't afford even a small payment these days. Oy.

Anyone?

Sorry I've Been Away....
Hi folks,

Just letting all y'all know I'm still alive. Hey, it's baseball season, God would NEVER let anything permanently bad happen to me during BASEBALL season! :)

Anyway, Jasper is well, the Kitty King of Mirkwood is well, I am well, and the Red Sox are doing pretty well. It's only April, but hey... :)

Hope everyone's doing all right. I'll catch up over the next few days.

So Far, So Good...
Hi folks,

Thanks for all the wonderful good thoughts, prayers, etc.--Jasper is MUCH better this morning, and in fact by the time I got home he was awake, on his feet, and lipping hay. :) This is VERY good.

Sometimes You Just See God's Hand In A Thing...Collapse )

In any case, Jasper is OK now and getting steadily better. Thanks SO much for all the prayers and good thoughts, and thank God for intervention and schedule arrangement... if anything else interesting occurs I'll update.

PLEASE Hold a Good Horse-Thought.... :(
I know, I don't post for crap for months and when I do I have my hat in hand.... :(

My Horse Needs Prayers....Collapse )

I'll update soon. PLEASE spare a good thought for Jasper and those caring for him... he's only 8 (almost nine) and has SO much happy life ahead of him....

Oh LOOK, 2 Posts in One Day!
Gakked from <lj user="bronx_baroness"> and amusing because I think we got the same response:

I Never Call, I Never Write...
and I do apologize for making anyone worry.

Basically I am alive and reasonably healthy, the medical situation seems under control, and seasonal emotional rollercoasters are leaving the station every frickin minute.  *sigh*  But there is goodness.  I bought a house, I still have Jasper, I have re-learned how much I hate loneliness, and I am a wreck at the moment, but it will pass.  Always does.  Nothing to worry about. 

Yes, I am writing again.  Soon.  Sooooooon....

Other than that, it is pretty much same-old, same-old.

Does anyone know why every time I type an apostrophe, this stupid window brings up a quick search--and if I accidentally hit  the wrong key it goes elsewhere and wipes out my post??  This is the fifth time I have re-written this post....

Merry/Happy, everyone.  May 2009 be kinder to us all.

If You Love 14th Century English History...
...you have GOT to read this blog:

http://houseoffame.blogspot.com/

It is hilarious, mostly very well-read, and just a hoot. I offer a quote from a Q&A session between Thomas Favent, one of the Lords Appellant (who have taken over poor Chaucer's blog!) and "the peple":

"Seriouslie people, hyre a serjeant at law and get yowerselves a clue in fee simple! Thes chronicleres are all basicallie writinge Gerald of Wales fan ficcion inspyred by badly-kept monastic cheese. No more queries about unusual events surroundinge the parliament."

LOL! I never thought of Gerald as the patron saint of fanfic, but hey, it worketh.... :) The posts by Bolingbroke are just effing hilarious. WHAT a jock... :)

OK, so I know a lot about this period and was just hurting myself laughing. :) Even if you don't know a lot about it, they provide links to wikipedia to gain insight. So have fun... :)

Well, willya lookit that. I scored highest as both doctors--the "ministers" of the crowd. WHAT a surprise.

*sniff* I adored Bones. I adored the actor who played him. I miss 'em both.

Job Stuff and Matcha Latte Grumping :)
First off, a bit of news: I *did* in fact get a job, have already started, like the people and the work, and yes, I have already pulled my first multiple-all-nighter. Proposal work is like that. So, job good.... (I hope.... *grin*)

Secondly: I made an annoying (though admittedly minor!) discovery today. And I am begging for recipe assistance. Interested? Are you a matcha tea freak in even a teensy way? Then come sit by me.... *pats cushion*

How COULD They! And They Didn't Even Ask My Permission!!Collapse )

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it... :) Thanks everyone for all the good thoughts and prayers!!

My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Sister Broadsword of Enlightenment.


Get yours.



Heh.

New Update tomorrow at some point, in terms of my so-called life. *weak grin* I wish I were more excited, but things are actually sort of looking up.

A Soul Goes Home...
My heart hurts to have to bring you the news that my dear friend R. left this mortal life today a little before 2 PM. His partner S. and S.'s parents were with him at the time. We don't have a lot of details yet, but I am certain it was a gentle, peaceful passing--and Heaven will have a stupendous talent at the organ for church tomorrow morning. I beg you of your mercy to say a prayer for R.'s soul, free of its pain and toil; for S., who now must move on through his grief, and for all those of us who loved R so very dearly.

Thank you so much for all the prayers that have supported R. and S. through the holiness of these past days. I make bold to beg that you will continue them for a little longer...

Blessings & thanks,
Jasta

Went Well...
Hi y'all, I'm back from the interview! I think it went about as well as these things go; the job is well within my skills, and I hope to God they're as needful as they sounded and make me an offer soon. Like, oh, by Friday with a start date of Monday.... ;)

Thanks for all the good thoughts!

I went and checked on the mare on the way home, at the request of the owner; she's lost a lot of weight and her baby is getting feisty over being cooped up, but Mama's appetite seems to be perking up so we're making sure she has lots of food options available--and water, lots of water. Please continue the good thoughts, if you've a mind to... :)

Weather is... better. Still rather hot, but nothing like the back-breaking crap we had over the last week. Maybe we'll even get off without t-storms and hail tonight! :)

Another G-D@mned Stormy Night...
...and we actually had a power outage. *waits a moment, then grins* Of course that bit is over now...

Anyway, I'm shamelessly pimpin' for prayers, good thoughts, etc. In the ongoing search for a frickin' job, the Nice Company I Wanna Work For (that Also Wants Me) can't hire me yet because the Butthats they won their contract from (an Acronym phone company branching out into the consulting market) have decided to do the Senseless 100-Day Protest Tango (which of course only ticks off the client and garners the protester NOTHING.... but I digress in my righteous indignation...) and thus the job they desperately want me for won't be available until August.

Severance runs out at the end of July... :(

So, I have an interview tomorrow, the 11th, with another nice company in this area--and I guess I really need to get it, because I don't see any signs that the gods are handing out lottery wins. *wry smile* Just thunder storms... guess I need to have a chat with Hodur and ask him to glare at Thor or something... (Is this ramble making ANY sense??) The interview is at 11:)) AM eastern US time... so if you have a spare good thought, please send it my way!

Thankfully the heat wave appears to be broken now; we have a mare down with laminitis who is not well in this heat, and her baby is not well right alongside her. Prayers there would be a huge help too...

Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Meh.

Special Radio Show Tonight! :)
Good afternoon all! Just wanted to let you know that tonight on "Another Loose Canon" we have a very special guest calling in. Rev. Corbie of Fire Through Spirit will be joining us for the first of (at least!) two shows, during which she will share her experiences in the realm of healing and how to approach illness from a spiritual perspective. You can see her website (which contains contact info and a list of her upcoming in-person appearances at various conventions and fairs) here: www.firethroughspirit.com

So please join us tonight at 6 PM Eastern US time; Corbie will speak with us about health, healing, and the interesting concept that "Being a Co-Conspirator is Better than Being a Patient!" She's a riveting, charming speaker possessing much personal experience with the things of which she speaks. Following the interview, we'll open the phones so people can ask questions and share stories with Corbie.

See you then! Here's the URL: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Rev_Sharon/2008/05/30/Another-Loose-Canon
