That's so cool that you and lettered are writing buddies. :)

Things are kind of weird for me at the moment. I've lost a couple of people this year and my job has been nothing but changes, so it's been a bit stressful. But I'm coping... avoiding a nervous breakdown, at least so far!

Fandom has been a great support for me, actually. I joined Tumblr and didn't expect to find such an active community over there. There's always lots of chatter and pics and fic to react to, which helps keep my mind off the stressful stuff. Hobbies help!
