It's very good to hear back from you! You sound super busy with irl things -- hope that's good at least in part. Gah, fandom committments not yet met -- I hear that, and raise you!

Oooooh, you must be loving the Star Trek fandom explosion, then! I'm totally behind on it, but eventually I'll likely dive in, as everything is being recced to the high heavens. I think it's eaten many, many people's brains, so it must be fun to see all that outpouring for something you're loving.

Uncheckable flist, oh noes! Can you filter it down a little while you're busy, or filter so that you can check on half or a third of the flist one day, the other half later? It sounds like kind of a pain to set filters up initially, but if you use them for reading afterward I'm guessing it would pay off. So maybe it could be a help to you if you want to keep your toes dipped into flist fandom waters. Or not -- some people just feel uncomfy and itchy at the very idea of filtering.

Thanks so much for the good wishes! I wish you all good stuff in return. :D and I'll look forward to seeing your entries whenever you're back more regularly.
