A fly by post....

Gosh, I'm so woefully behind in... everything. I'm feeling better, though, so that of course means I have all kinds of laundry and cleaning and just *stuff* piled up waiting to be tackled. I made a good dent in All The Things on Sunday, but Monday I was reminded my stamina isn't *quite* there yet. >.<   Nothing dire, just that getting my Dad's weekly groceries yesterday left me a lot more wiped out than it normally does. So, today is a stay-home day where I'm going to take it a little easier and, fingers crossed, get caught up on some writing, which I haven't done since my surgery because Brain Fog. Ugh. It takes a while for anesthesia to make its way out of the body, and then of course there's the whole "body is sucking up energy for healing so, Brain, you're just gonna have to take a number" thing. And Brain meanwhile is bouncing around in my skull using up its precious energy resources blurting random things at me like, "ARAGORN WHAT ABOUT ARAGORN THERE'S NOT MUCH ARAGORN H/C OUT THERE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????????"

or, "BOWEN!!! BOWEN AND HIS COWS AND GOBLINS AND FLORA AND OWEN ESTEL AND ALL THE BREE THINGS!!!!!!"

And, since seeing Captain America: Winter Soldier, my brain added another layer to the cacophonous chorus,

"BUCKBUCKYBUCKYBUCKYOMGPUPPYEYESDOSOMETHINGFORHIMHELP....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*cough* Ahem. Yeah. That character has smacked me straight in the feels, and tumblr, YOU ARE NOT HELPING. Although it's a perfect diversion during brain fogginess, I must say. (I also may or may not have ordered the Ed Brubaker Captain America: Winter Soldier comics.... okay, yeah, I did. Found Vol 1 & 2 gently used online and they'll be coming in a week or so. I've not read a comic book in years, since I was a kid, really, so I'm looking forward to getting these and wallowing in Winter Soldier feels catching up on the Cap canon that the movies are more or less following.)

And then there's Domino, who has decided that he must sleep ON TOP OF ME every night. Eurgh. I know on paper that sounds so, "Awwww, sweet!!!" But he's heavier than he looks. And he kicks and twitches. So sleep has been a little disrupted. Which contributes to the Brain Fog.

But rest assured, I'm reading everything here at LJ, from comments left on mine to everyone else's posts. I'm not commenting in return much, which kills me, but eventually I'll get caught up with everything and get back to annoying everyone actually conversing with everyone again.

*hugs to all*

Brain Fog of any sort is SO AGGRAVATING. It's just not something you can fight your way out of, and the lethargy that comes with not being able to Brain is so MEH. So I hope that lifts, soon, and you have your energy back! Yays for stay-at-home days. ;D

Heh. Sometimes fandom-related feels can kind of be exhausting, no? I get so emotionally invested in characters, it's ridiculous. I know they're not real, but my FEELS ARE SO REAL. And of course it's impossible to explain to most of the people you know IRL why you're devastated (in a good way) over a superhero movie. XD

(You'll have to tell me how the Winter Soldier comics are! I haven't read any Cap comics - or many comics at all. Mostly, I've resisted because I know I will like them. :P I'd be curious to know whatcha think!)

This, exactly. And thank you!

*sigh* This also, exactly. Only fandom folks understand fandom folks. Thank goodness *someone* does. LOL Only fandom people nod and say, "Yep." when you flail your arms and cry, "ARAGORN YOU COMPLETE ME!!!" or "BUCKY IS RUINING MY LIFE. ;_;" Thank goodness for fandom buddies! *hugs*

I'll be sure to post a reaction to them once I get them and finish them!
