This congestion has gotten worse to an extent. I thought I had it licked the other day when I started using nasal spray to clear out my sinus passages. Problem is, you can’t take them for more than three days without getting a “bounceback” effect. In other words, use them too much and you get worse! I think that’s what’s happened to me here. The congestion is worse than it was and now affects both sides of my sinuses. So,…
Actually it’s, 201! That’s the review count on The White Winds! I am really happy and I feel a sense of accomplishment that one of my works has engendered so many reviews (and that’s just on fanfiction.net!). I don’t think I’ve gotten reviews anywhere else on it. Now to format the latest chapter (which I posted in the wee hours this morning) to html and post it at FicWad. Then, another “Missing Scene” at Lunaescence. My eyes are a bit…
I finally decided what to do with that rescue scenario. No yacht, no capsizing, just a lot of cool (I hope) rescue action and, of course, that nutty waterspout. Strange how you get enamored of an idea and try your hardest to find a way to fit it in. Took Hubby out for lunch on his birthday. It was his non-scheduled day, but he worked anyway, which is good: we need the money! For the next month he is a…
… the more I end up wanting to change my chapter. Discovering that a research vessel that could carry a bathyscaphe or an MIR (a bathysphere is old tech, from what I’m reading) would have to be the size of a cargo ship, and therefore less likely to capsize, has been a bit of a blow. Even a smaller research vessel is longer, wider, and much sturdier than the yacht that encountered the waterspout IRL. It also has a…
The Girl complained of dizziness and a headache this morning, symptoms very much like those her brother had earlier in the week (only without the fever). I caved and let her stay home, but I sent her off to bed as soon as we got back from the bus run. She had a long nap, and though she felt better, still didn’t feel up to par. So she spent part of the day coloring the White Winds picture. She was…
Since I’m home alone (at last!) today, I’m trying to work on my bedroom, specifically, getting some of the floor picked up in front of my husband’s dresser so he can put his clothes in it. He’s got three baskets full of clean stuff that hasn’t been put away because, frankly, there’s too much junk in our bedroom! Too much from both of us; I’m as much to blame for this condition as he is. Laundry, laundry, laundry! That’s the…
The Girl has created a picture of The White Winds boys for me! I’m going to add it to my pictures here and it’s already at my Photobucket account. Right now, all I have is the black and white version, but she is going to color it for me! I just love it!!
crossposted from my livejournal Boy #1 has been home sick with a fever; the second day in a row for him. It struck me this morning that this was probably the result of his vaccination last week; he had a DPT booster. If the fever continues tomorrow, then I’ll call the doctor. It’s not like the fever’s very high or anything, it’s just annoying enough to keep him home from school. Boy #2 has a basketball practice today. He’s going…
The plumbers are gone!! They left behind them a fixed bathtub, and water turned back on in the house! Our water bill should drop without that annoying drip, and the faucet should fit again, once Hubby puts the wall back together. The dishwasher is running, then the washing machine will be, then just about everyone will have a nice, hot shower! Woo Hoo! And…. ff.net is working again. Don’t know why it was offlline before, but I was…
I went to add We’ll Always Have Paris to my account at Lunaescence and what did I find? I’m already on “validated” status! That means my stories automatically go up, and don’t have to be reviewed by the mods! Wow! I’m excited! It’s especially exciting considering that they only had A Possum Tale, and two chapters of Burning Muses to go by before they made the decision! This doesn’t mean that I can drop my guard and post tacky…
