A fly by post....

[cairistiona]

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*

I'm too busy for any long or wise comment, so long story short: *hugs*

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!)

I'm glad you're feeling better, albeit foggy. *gentle hugs*

Do any large grocery stores in your area deliver to your door? Maybe you could take advantage of things like that until you fully recover.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Hugs.I'm glad you are recovering, but be sure to take things easy. I'd love some Aragorn h/c!

I'm glad you're feeling better! Take your time and get real well soon. Your black and white pictures are great!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Enjoy your stay at home day. Spend time thinking about the stories you can write when you feel up to it!

As for Domino - a dog 'blanket' is just too hot, too!

[suzll.livejournal.com]

Huzzah for stay-home days! Hope you get the rest that you need <3

And muahahahahahaha BUCKYYYYYY. And huzzah for Brubaker's comics!!

[ysilme]

Ahaha, so well said!
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... *ggg*

Nay to Brain Fog, though - we hatessss it, preciousss. It makes one feel so - well, brain fogged, I suppose. *g* And I fully understand and sympathies. *hugs* May it be soon a thing of the past!

I fear I can't relate to your newest crush, since I haven't seen the movie nor know the character in any way. But fannish crush is always terrific IMHO, so go for it! :o)

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Hope you feel stronger and stronger as the days go by! I hate brain fog! Hope it lifts for you soooooooon! ;)

[mrowe.livejournal.com]

Take it easy on the overdoing things *g*

But...

... what about all that Aragorn h/c?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Aragorn : "Brain Fog, RETREAT!"

:D

[estelcontar1.livejournal.com]

LOL! I like the way your brain works when it comes to Aragorn. *g* Hope the fog disperses soon.

You did so much during the weekend that it's no wonder grocery shopping tired you more than usual. I'm sure though that pretty soon your stamina will back to the old levels.

Here's to you having a blast reading the comics, and to Domino finding another more comfortable bed.

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

*HUGS* Man, I get so aggravated with my own brain fog some days, and usually I don't even have a decent reason for it. I can well imagine how frustrating it must be to be lacking in both the mental and physical wherewithal to do the things you'd like to, at this point in your recovery.

Hehe, and it doesn't really help when your brain's got all this FANNISH EXCITEMENT without the ability to direct it in a coherent fashion, does it? I do hope you're able to have some real fun with those feels sometime soon. XD (And can I just say again how utterly thrilled I am that you've been sucked into the vortex of "BUCKYPUPPYPOORBABY!!!" along with us? My brain basically Will. Not. let that refrain go of late.)

*hugs* again - and lots of prayers for swift recovery <3

I feel your pain at the dearth of Aragorn fic! It's sad... sad. BTW, have you seen that Nightwing updated To See a World? I don't know if you've read it, because it's chock-full of Legolas angst, but then it does have some AWESOME Aragorn angst---very, very well done... and her Aragorn is so well-characterized.

So glad to hear you're feeling better!
