LJ housekeeping

[lunadelcorvo]

So, I know I haven't been here much, but I feel as though I'm starting to get back to it. I have been doing some housecleaning around here, too. I cut a bunch of old communities, and I also trimmed the f-list of a handful of journals that haven't been updated in about a year and a half. I think most of them now have journals under different names, and a few have just gone on to other things... (If you were cut and you want to be added back, just let me know!)

There is a post about my mom coming soon, and there will be many more to follow it, I am sure. (I'll probably lj-cut them, since they likely won't be happy ones...) Suffice to say, it's just insanely awful and heartbreaking, but I'm dealing. The hardest part (well, sometimes, there's a lot of hardest parts, really. They sort of take turns.) is knowing it should not have happened this way. There has been so much negligence with her care; it's really infuriating. I'm documenting everything now...

My class is going well so far, and I'm really enjoying it. I may lose one of the ones for fall, but if so, I can always offer it up next time, so it's cool. I may put some feelers out for other schools, too. I'm just really happy to be teaching, at last.

Otherwise, things have been surprisingly....well, calm seems the wrong word given the circumstances, but I'll be darned if I can think of a better one....

You've all been in my thoughts. ♥ Keep us updated as you can.

Thank you sweetie, I will. And you've been in mine - I know things are tough for you, too. Thus we grow..... (But Universe, easy on the pruning shears, eh?)

No kidding. *hugs* PRUNE being the key word. ♥

I am so sorry about the lack of care your mother received. Many in the medical profession just simply shouldn't be where they are because of the impact they have on other people for ill. **hugs** I am glad that your class is going well. I didn't receive your phone message about coffee until this evening. I really need to change phones. Anyway, I would love to have coffee next week when the snow lets up enough that we won't be stranded out there. How's next Friday? Let me know. **hugs**

Oh, I can think of several people that have no business anywhere near vulnerable people! I've tried to advocate as much as I've been able, but I'm definitely up in everyone's faces with her care now!

No worries - my phone is pretty schizo these days as well. (I've had the darned thing for three years; I think that's a record!) Give me a jingle when you have a good opening, and we'll set it up.

Oh, and happy belated! I am horrible about birthdays, but it sounds like you had a great day. Many happy returns, dear! And get some rest, you crazy gamer-gal you! *hugs*

I've noticed more people lately are coming back to their Live Journal homes and doing some spring cleaning. Maybe 2011 will yield more growth and development. Here's to finding out.

Indeed!

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. (((bb)))

[raven-moon.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It sucks hugely, but at least we've been able to alter her meds and such, so she should feel a lot better, and be able to enjoy the time she has.

I hope thing improve with your mother's care. Documenting everything is very important, though. Let them know you're doing so and that may be enough to improve matters with her caregivers.

Good to have you around LJ land.

I'm still around, I just don't have much to post about recently. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom, and you're in my thoughts. -hugs-

Oh, I kept ya! There are a few folks that I know have reasons to be away, or that I know are still reading, and I've totally kept them on! Thanks for the kind thoughts, too. *hugs*
