Well, yes, it has been a while since I updated anyone who actually reads this on the mess that continues to be my life. I am, as yet, unemployed, but for those who wonder why this has not spawned much fic and writing, imagine - not working at all, but being given a time limit on your own computer in your own room, which you share with a sister 7 years younger than you (the room, mainly, though also the computer since the family one went boom).

On top of this, since I returned from Sweden, by way of America and Ireland, before January 6th 2004 (and brief interlude working in a call centre which gave me hellish migraines and worse vision), family life hs not been perfect. We've had two deaths, one a family member, one a close family friend, since August - in fact, they were almost exactly two weeks apart. Plus, there are the usual family crisis that ensue when everyone is living at home. Bills are sky-high, wages are non-existant and we're all a bit cramped at the moment. Mmm. Six people, including two young adults, a teen and a ten year old, plus parents in a three-bedroom house. How cosy.

Now, though, things are sort of on track. I've got a little more time on machines that I had before, because I'm doing some... er... technically, is it voluntary work if someone else signs you up for it? It's actually not at all bad and I'm enjoying the chance to be out of the house most days :) I've been working on fics as often as I feel ready to. My muses are still a bit scattered by recent events and so forth, but I should have something to show for it soon.

Thanks for your patience.
Fyre
