As Always, Dancing In My Chair

Hi!

It has been a long time since I even logged in here. It has been a roller coaster ride for Gary and me since last July. We moved to a new state to be closer to our daughter. She is now less than a mile away and I have been happy to be here when she needs help.

Gary overworked himself preparing our old house for sale and ended up in the hospital multiple times over the span of 3 months with 3 surgeries. It took a while but he is getting back to his usual energizer bunny routine and is skiing at a local area.

I overdid myself with the house move and doing everything while Gary was sick. I am paying for it now with the worst chronic fatigue and brain fog flair I have ever had that started just before Thanksgiving. Doing a load of wash can flatten me for a day or more. Ugh.

Basically, anything fandom-related flew out of my head. Tarlan nudged me to reopen a Dreamwidth tab on my browser and I will edge my way back in as my fatigue and fuzzy brain allows.

I do hope everything is going well for everyone. Take care!

I have to crow a little about my daughter's latest Guardian creation, posted on Twitter.

Why?

Why am I finding these in my AO3 feed?

Why are people responding thereby encouraging it?

I used to keep a list in my DW and LJ journals, but after over 1 million words in completed stories, I got lazy and gave up.

So head to http://archiveofourown.org/users/danceswithgary for Smallville (Clark/Lex) and Stargate Atlantis (various but mostly McKay/Sheppard) fiction.

Really too many on AO3 the last week or so. My heart hurts.

The disability communities on Twitter have been active since they were presented with the wonderful Selma Blair images at the Oscars and in Vanity Fair(see below).



My daughter, who has found the communities very supportive as she deals with her sleep and movement disorders, worked up a hashtag #GloriousFeeling and is hoping to engage a number of posts with people responding to the above image with their own version of disabled glam with assistive devices. I was inspired. Gary took the pictures and the dogs behaved beautifully for promised treats.



I had the honor of being the first post.

In other news, PT is progressing well on the shoulder, although a session knocks me back for two days because my body is convinced I was attacked so my CFS and fibro kick into a higher gear. yay
