Sorry for causing such worry! [Nov. 13th, 2008|07:05 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
I only now realized how long it's been since I updated on either JF or IJ. A number of circumstances combined to make that true, but once I found my way back onto the Internet, I should have started updating again. I'll try to update at least once a week from now on.



Mostly, a combination of things:

1) I started a new job in a place where the only Internet access I had was through work, and that usually for an hour or so a day, so I was usually using it for research. I did finally manage to get Internet access at home last week.
2) I've been working pretty hard to finish my Ph.D. dissertation, and though it's still not done, I'm less frantic about it than I was.
3) I turned off the comments I was receiving on JF and IJ just to reduce the amount of e-mail I'd have to check when I did get a chance. That's back on now that I'll be able to more regularly participate again. (This is the part I'm sorriest about. I didn't know that people were worried and now that I check...*wince*)
4) I've been getting sick every week for the past month. I'm not sure if it's mono (which I've supposedly already had) or just a susceptibility to sinus infections and other germs combined with a major lack of sleep. That's decreased my energy and my ability to keep up with anything but work.



Sorry, again, for worrying anyone.

Yayes!

I assumed it was the work-related stuff. How's the new job going? How are you liking the place you're living?

It's going really well, though I'm busier than I've ever been in my life. :) Mostly, trying to find the right balance from day-to-day was wearing me out in the first half of the semester, but now I hope I've got it.

And I do love this house. Other than that I wish it had more bookshelves, it's just the right size for me, and it backs up on a mountain covered with trees, and it's about a six-minute walk from the cafeteria.

Yay! :D I posted a similar comment over on the LJ feed just 'cause I'm a dork and forgot that I have you on over here...

anyway, I was thinking about you this week and wondering where you were and how things were going. I'm sorry you've been sick! Yay on working on the dissertation! Welcome back-ish! :D

Thank you! I'm glad that people are glad to see me back, but sorry again for worrying anyone.

Thanks a lot for posting this. I'm happy to hear that you're still around. I hope you'll feel better from the illness, and congratulations on the job and dissertation!

Thank you!

Hopefully, the illness is going away. I can finally breathe through my nose again, and I slept last night through without the help of cough syrup or Nyquil- the first time in quite a while.

Glad you're still around. As someone who has gone months without updating (and without any of your good excuses) I understand.

Thank you.

And I do wish I had at least posted an entry telling people I might not be around for a while, but I was confident that I'd have internet access in a week at best.

Thank you.

The end of this chapter is in sight! And so is the end of the cold or whatever else it was.

Glad to see you back. Just remember to post status updates every 6 months? (it seems like half my flist gafiated in 2008)

Thank you!

I'm going to try that, yes. :) And now that I have actual internet access, I'm sure I'll find things to talk about more frequently than that.

(LJ: childofatlantis) Hiya - long time no see, I sort of lost track of you after you switched off LJ, but I was wondering if you were planning to head over to Dreamwidth at all? Except now I see you haven't posted for a while so... everything okay?
