Still on the Quest

So, twenty years ago, I had cancer.

Compared to some cancers I got off pretty easy, but it was still not fun.

Recently, the fibroid that was sitting in my innards minding its own business decided to expand. Which, despite test and an MRI, it was impossible to tell if it was cancerous or just obstreperous. So the recommendation came down to have it taken out. Except the best way to do that was by having a total hysterectomy. And I was busy, trying to get my library ready to close (weed 10,000 books out of my collection, OUCH) and on top of that my landlady decided she had to sell my apartment, and that meant moving to a different state and retiring and... well, you get the idea... before having this piece of major surgery.

So two weeks ago a very nice surgeon used a robot to rearrange my innards.

And despite feeling way less awful than I expected to feel, I'm still very cranky.


As it turns out, I have an awful lot of things that haven't been put on the Archive of Our Own, yet, so instead of twiddling my thumbs I've been working on putting them over there and figuring out all the places I cross posted stuff.

It is interesting going back to see the comments and things, but I haven't been tempted to write much yet.

Still Yuletide is starting (get your nominations in now!) so maybe that will be a good kick in the creative pants for me.

And I'm going to start journaling again, right? Right.

Edited to add: I've forgotten how to do an lj cut. Sorry.
