"Shane.  Shane.  Come back!"
-Shane, 1953

Another week or two instead of the usual. I missed updates again. I must admit to a selfish warm fuzzy that several people inquired about them. It's important to be reminded that you're not alone in the world once in a while. And I almost thought I'd miss them again, but here they are all shiny!
Lost my hard drive to a virus. A trojan proxy they call it. What it is is somebody setting up an email server on my computer and sending out spam. Not that I'm going to say it's okay, but what the hell was the guy thinking? My harddrive is inadequate to say the least. You'd think they'd at least look where they're parking their crap. Oh well, a day and a half offline didn't kill me....much.
Huge slobbering on my knees thank yous to Shane for getting me back in business, taking his whole Friday to help me.  On that note, I am such a lucky bitch--I have so many friends who are so amazingly talented that it's like I never want for anything. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I hope I can keep on doing it.
Got mailouts done this week, so I'm less likely to be throwing up from guilt come Monday. I feel like such an asshole when I can't get the stuff out. There's still more to come, and then Advent stuff in a week too. And those will be ontime, for sure. I won't stand for it to be any other way!
Speaking of holidays, if it's true, and you're in your own bed come Thanksgiving, dear brother, better believe I'll be cooking another turkey and doing a little thanksgiving myself. Grow strong, my friend, you're in my prayers.
Friends all over--you know who you are. If you stumble across here, know that October had some real fun times, but it was a c-c-cra-a-a-zy!!!! month, and I'm still recovering. I think of you all often, sometimes with an ache, often with a smile, and I hope we can all have coffee, virtual or real, soon.
Did I mention I'm bleeding to death? Last month I had the lamest period of my life, and it was a thing of beauty. This week, BAM! showed up out of nowhere early, and I'm probably going to faint from bloodloss soon. This reminds me of when it all went bad down there a couple of years ago. If this doesn't let up by tomorrow, or hell, even if it does, I think a trip to the doc is in order. Hopefully I'm not gathering anything but cobwebs *L*

Well, on that tasteful note *L*

I must admit, The Sentinel has thrown me for a loop. It's like X-Files, magnified. Yikes.
