Where Have I Been?


S.L. Lewis

Seven. Years. 

Has it really been that long? Yes, yes it has. It has been that long. When I last popped up, I was 28 years. It has been an insane, intense 7 years. 

My mother started having physical issues in 2002. Mid-2003, she found out what she was having issues with and we started to work on getting her disability. 2003, she had surgery 3 different times, the second time rather minor and just to make sure things were fine with the first surgery. 

In the last seven years, life has gotten better in some ways and so not good in others. 

My mother was in an accident just over a year ago. She's doing better but she now has more issues than before. I have become her full time caretaker, which means I do have a lot of time whenever she doesn't need me. 

I am now dating a lovely woman for over 2 years (about 2 and a half years) now. We co-own a mutt called Westerfield, and a MinPin/Chihuahua mix named Princess, and a cat named Muse. She doesn't live with me or mother currently due to issues, but we still see each other every week and talk nearly daily. 

Me and my mother both have ESA cats. Mine is named Artemis, and my mother's is Artemis' baby sister, Miracle. And they were born from Muse and my girl's roommate's male cat, Loki. 

I am mentally meh. Going back to therapy and hopefully getting back into the communities that I have missed because of the insanity of the last 7 years. 

I am writing and will be posting things once I figure out all of the things that have changed in the years since I've been here.

It is good to be back and I hope life is good for you all. 

Still trying to figure out if I can somehow change my display name. I don't use that name now and I don't want to have to create a new account...

Welcome back :)  I believe you need to contact an admin about changing your username.  Definitely do not create another account because duplicate accounts aren't allowed on GA.  I'm sure one of the admins would be happy to help you.

I will do so once I figure out who is who and who is best to contact. :D It's good to be back. I'm going back to my digging around on the forums. Catch up on things.

There's a list of staff under "more" tab, then select "help".  I'd suggest contacting Cia since she seems to handle a lot of these types of requests :)

Val is correct. The average member can change their username any time they wish byn by themselve themselves in their profile. However, an author who already has work on GA should contact Cia.

I have contacted them. I just wait for an answer and I go read. 

Cause I should be editing. I'm...procrastinating. Hard core. But it will get done soon.
