denyceHeya so the word of the day is stress! Too much stress with a good dose of depression. However will endeavor to not wallow and keep things short.
- Basically I live month to month, but these days with the economy it’s more difficult especially when I’m getting heavy hints from clients that I may be losing more than one job. Jobs = money I serious can't afford to lose any more than I have. Like who can these days... One particular job is definitely on the chopping block as my client is officially terminal; officially because Hospice is now involved. Second seems I’m involved too, and that's been more difficult than I thought.
It started a couple of weeks ago on Friday I get all these calls, mainly from my client Dorothy's sister EJ saying she was leaving and would be in-flight, but could I pick her up at the airport later that night. Ha, anyone who knows me, driving at night not a favorite. On top of that it was also raining with thundering/lighting almost unheard of here in Ca. Her flight was on-time, but circled for an hour due to the weather. When they finally landed we were off to the hospital to see her sister. It was a long day, I got home at 3:30 in the morning *sigh*
Dorothy wasn't so bad, relatively speaking, as she returned to the rehab center. Since then Hospice got involved and I was there for the pitch as I'll be the one here helping Dorothy when she goes home, once her sister leaves later this week. Seems Dorothy wasn't overly nice in her life as only her sister EJ has been there. Her daughter is local and they hate each other. Anyhoo it’s ALL stressful!!!!
I'm trying to not get emotionally involved, but that doesn't seem to be in my make-up as I'm an over pleaser/care-taker kinda of person. It also doesn't help that Dorothy is also in the later stages of emphysema what my mother has, so emotionally it pushes my buttons.
On top of that a family friend just had emergency surgery for colon cancer... she survived the surgery. However now we're at a wait & see what happens next.
Anyhoo it’s the main reason I’ve been on the quiet side.
I’ve tried to throw myself in writing, but I don’t know in the last couple of weeks I barely wrote and when I did I turned to fics I didn’t have to think about (old wips). So I made a dent in Lotrips Aloha, and rewrote a couple chs of FP. Oh and I made a few bids on beta’s over on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

I'm kinda in that place where it’s horrible! But seriously it’s been done to death (fuck or die) and done a hell of a lot better by other writers *nods*
Yesterday I started mydarkangel_bb It's not what I had initially planned. Instead it’s an entirely new bunny. A crossover with BtVS pairing Alec/Spike, I like it ;)
Now I have to get in gear, fix breakfast and get my ass to work, sigh...
