Good - Mainlining SGA with daughter who's never seen it and she's a night owl

Ooh, that sounds like fun! I wish I could find somebody who liked sci-fi (and who didn't have an infant to take care of *g*) to watch with me. ;)

We've always shared a love of movies and she went through Smallville with me when we bought the DVD's. Now it's a new fandom and when we're through SGA, I'll watch her new love, Supernatural. Fun times!

daughter's home and watching good TV together--sounds very good to me.

[danceswithgary]

It's definitely making life a lot more bearable! :-D

Maybe with your daughter's help we'll get you converted to SPN, too, sweeetie. That would be wonderful!

I'm so sorry you're feeling bad, I know how much it sucks when your body decides it wants to kick you in the teeth for a bit. Only too well.

Sweetie, if the worst happens and you have to stop working, it is in no way a failure or your having 'let' the disease win. It will just be another challenge you'll get to face. Maybe if you can rest more you might feel better and be able to do more in the long term. Just think of the writing you may get to do.

Baby steps, sweetie. We have to take them all of the time but they work. I know that things will get better, I have faith in you.

*hugs you very gently*

Thanks, it helps a little knowing someone understands. I hope you're doing okay yourself.

My daughter is so looking forward to watching SPN with me - she loves it. :-D

Oh no. I hope it's not too much pollution in the air or something, which is what we blame for my older brother's various otolaryngological problems. Does ginger tea or vitamin C help at all?

I miss your audiofics! It's pretty much how I get to "read" your stories these days, as I'm experiencing ADHD with the SV fandom. I enjoy listening to them in my car. :D (Which reminds me, I think I have to re-download them all over again so I could compile them into one MP3 CD!)

[danceswithgary]

Unfortunately, it's an autoimmune disease I've had for over a decade. I've been slowly getting worse, but my doctors keep me monitored and medicated as best they can.

I miss making the audiofics myself - I keep hoping the voice will reappear someday. :-)

yayyyyyyyyyyyy for your doctor :D

[danceswithgary]

It definitely helps keep the depression at bay knowing the doctors are on my side. :-)

I'm so sorry you're feeling ill. You are still amazingly productive, considering! :)

[danceswithgary]

I try - everything I manage to finish helps me feel better about the whole thing. :-D

*HUGS* I'm so glad to see you post.

I'm sorry your voice isn't getting better. :(

I'm glad you and your daughter are getting to spend time together. And fangirling too. :D

Yes, watch SpN! I'd love to see your take on it!

[danceswithgary]

Fangirling together is indeed fun. :-D

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

LOL Yes it is. I got my mother into SpN and we've been fangirling for weeks now.

I'm glad you have your daughter with you. Hope you get better soon.

[danceswithgary]

Thanks, it is great having her here. :-D
