Um, happy new year?

[cosmolinguist]

Mine's been awfully eventful already, in that something that had been building up, due to illness as much as anything I think, finally exploded like a popped zit late last night. And with all the ensuing pus one would expect. I'm still feeling very fragile and dealing with the fallout, very slowly, because my brain isn't working very well. I am well looked after, though, by friends old and new, and I am endlessly grateful for them, for you, all.

I have deleted my Twitter account and unfriended (one of the new words allowed in the dictionary in 2009, apparently; what a lovely linguistic legacy we are leaving...) a bunch of people here on LJ. I don't mean any offense by it, I'm just feeling the need to batten down the hatches a little bit, to make my presence here a bit more small and friendly as I have enough else that's big and scary in my head just now.

It's a tough time of the year, and sometimes, you've just got to fasten the seatbelt; put the seatback tray in its upright, locked position; and ride out the turbulence as best you can. But the turbulence always passes.

I am around to listen if ever you need it. I hope things get easier soon.

Gah! That doesn't sound too good, but it's good to know you've got people around that are taking care of you. Sending good thoughts.

Sorry the New Year is off to a bad start for you. I know I don't post on LJ anymore, and I never comment, but I always read and think good thoughts for you, and remember you always have my email address!

[zammis.livejournal.com]

take care of you.

Great big Jonhugs from the Flying Dutchman *HUGS*

Thank you for sparing me from the friends cut. I might actually have cried. I might be more useful when I get over my current mental stage of wandering round Tesco whimpering 'Edelweiss' but am always reading and sending good thoughts.

Oh honey I very much want to continue being your friend! If only in this limited capacity, as it is now, but like I've said I'm around any time you want a friendly face/voice/etc. Good thoughts to you too.

[cosmolinguist]

It was nothing compared to some of the other lovely comments there (they're always there in your LJ; you're clearly a person who lovely people want to be around)!

[cosmolinguist]

Thank you. I miss you guys!

[cosmolinguist]

Aw, it is lovely to hear from you again! I am thinking good thoughts for you too.

[cosmolinguist]

Those are very good hugs indeed. Thank you. ::hugs::

Aw, I don't get to update as much as I'd like these days, but I hope I get to stick around. I do love your posts. Also, my life isn't very exciting at the moment - some quiet contentment, and some getting things done.

Forwarding Twitter to LJ is dead annoying; even though it's easier for me to talk there, I don't send it through.
