Ah Ah Ah Ah Stayin Alive, Stayin Alive

Okay, both Maman and I are still alive, albeit both exhausted and semi-coherent at best. I realize how unfair it is to have left what very few people are still checking in dangling mercilessly, especially considering the uncertainty of the situation, medically speaking. Unfortunately, I don't really have time at this precise second to write a whole update, I just wanted to let you know that a real post is coming soon....I am in creative outlet withdrawal, so I need to get back on the blogging horse asap, its just a question of making the time and finding the energy in between dividing a life completely in half between two cities, cultivating a relationship and home with the man I love (yeah, the whole moving in news got a little lost in cancerland), working two jobs and constantly trying to make up for the many hours missed while with Maman, and fighting valiantly to retain some shred of sanity and dignity amidst it all. I am still here, staying alive but no dancing queen. Hopefully the quest for balance will bear a little fruit soon...that or I will collapse completely (not that I haven't many a time already - The Wild Boar is a wild saint, to say the least). But for now, I cannot collapse as I have a humoungous stack of work in front of me, a party (thath I completely forgot about but cannot under any circumstances miss) for Mr. Artsy Hotpant's life transition into law school to go to shortly, and have stumbled into some sort of energy quicksand causing me to yawn every 10 seconds and slide further under my desk with every passing second. Muuuust goooo naaaapp noooowww....
