Am feeling much better now. Thank you all for well wishes. They were much appreciated. I'm still coughing, but at least I feel pretty good and my lungs aren't attempting to vacate my body without paying final months rent anymore. This is a good thing.

Alex is doing just fine. She's quite happy and back to her original jovial and extra-cute self. She says quite a bit now. She says "down" when she wants down, is getting down, or puts something down. She says "up" for all the same reasons. She says "go" when she wants to go. She says "out" when she wants to go outside. She says "dog" for dog and "cat" for cat. She says "please" and "thank you" just when she is supposed to. She can say more, she just usually doesn't. I'm very proud of her.

It's been a wonderful few days. Yesterday was the most beautiful day. It wasn't super hot and it wasn't too humid. The sky was clear blue. The day before that it rained all day. It wasn't the normal Houston rain for 10 minutes and then stop and be oppressively humid for an hour and then rain for 10 minutes and then be oppressively humid for an hour. It rained. Steady. All day. It was cool outside. It was nice. It did that again today.

I'm going to RenFaire on Sunday and I'm really really excited about it. I live for RenFaire. It is what I live for on October/November weekends. I used to go every single weekend. This year I'll just get to go once, maybe twice if I'm lucky, but I'll be there so I'm happy.

A note to [livejournal.com profile] awelkin: I'm not sure if you are told enough, but you are a wonderful and overly intelligent person. I just had to comment, because everybody needs to hear that sometimes, and I think it needed to be said just in case it hasn't been said to you yet this week.

A note to [livejournal.com profile] ciircee: You are sweet. You are a great mom. I strive to be a mom like you. I miss talking to you on AIM and wish we could keep in better contact, but I know your life is three times as busy as mine. One day, maybe. Also, I need your address again as it was in the pocket of my jeans and had a perilous adventure in the washing machine. I'm afraid it didn't survive, despite my best efforts to rescue it. I have something to send you.

A note to [livejournal.com profile] misspince: May your uterus decide to cooperate soon. May you find true friends that appreciate you for all the wonderfulness you exude. Don't listen to your mother. You do not wallow.

A note to myself: Write, damnit, write! Quit wasting your pathetically short free time online and write. Submit what you write. Let others read it. Find someone who is willing to read it and be honest with you. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. Failure is not submitting, rejection is not personal and it's better than failure. So get off that lazy arse and write!
