My toe is broken. The doctor didn’t even bother to x-ray it; he said he could feel the “dimple” in the bone where the break was! Ewww! I’ve got a scrip for pain meds and I’ll go back in two weeks for an x-ray to be sure it’s healing. Good news from the visit though; according to their scales, I’ve lost twelve pounds! My goal is 15 before I see the diabetes management team in July, so I’m well on the…
I have had a deuce of a time starting Masquerade chapter 19. I started with one bit, then another, but finally changed the setting of the second bit, and that made all the difference. Now things are moving. I hope I can keep up the momentum. The White Winds chapter 5 has had a good start, and I’ve got a nice twist planned. I’ve also done several posts for the new Yahoo incarnation of the Thunderbar, and for IR:TNP. I’ve…
Noticed yesterday that my most troublesome toe (second toe, right foot) is swollen and has a nasty bruise. I’m sure I accidently kicked one of the pesky bed supports and that now the toe is broken. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before and there’s not much they can do about it. This morning I noticed that the bruising is spreading down into the foot on either side of the toe. So I’ve buddy-taped the thing and I’m wearing my new…
Woke up around 2:45 and could not get back to sleep. I really should have gotten up and written up the snatch of Jeff/Lou interaction that I had buzzing in my head, but… I didn’t. I just lay there feeling more and more amorous until finally I woke the hubby around 4:30. Not that we did anything… he was too pooped. I’ve got to let him get a good nap this afternoon, probably during the IR:TNP brainstorming session. And when he…
Not if I want to go to church tomorrow, as I should. I managed to type out that little starter scene for The White Winds, chapter 5. Hobbeth liked it and gave me the idea for making it necessary. I fiddled with my livejournal, giving it a fresh look and adding a couple of entries. Got out “may we please use your fic” requests for Classic Thunderbirds Showcase, but I still need an email address for Rathead. Hopefully Rain can…
I’ll be posting some soon. Boy #2 got the best pictures of all of us; more good pictures per camera and he had two. The Carlsbad pictures required a good bit of fiddling, using a lot of contrast (which makes them look green) to show up a lot of what was on the photos, but it worked… for the most part. Now it’s resampling to bring the shots down to manageable sizes so that I don’t fill up my allotted space…
and waiting for Hobbeth to get online so we can powwow about the changes. I hesitate to send this through the spellchecker; it doesn’t much like the stutter of Brains and Fermat and I have to send it through piecemeal. Wish there was some shareware program that could run spellcheck on a Wordpad document. Forgot to check my blood sugar before breakfast, so now I have to wait until lunch. Blech. I’ll do the spellchecker. I called someone else on not…
And I hope it’s well received. I spent some time this morning reviewing a half-baked movie-verse fic called Abduction. Another of the "Alan is kidnapped" genre that’s so prevalent in the category today. I have no idea why I did it; it’s not like the author is going to actually sit down and rethink her story. They never do. She’ll probably email me, be polite and say, "Well, you make some good points but the story’s already written and I’m…
I hope Masquerade 18 is done. Scott and Virgil are very much OOC, one dealing with grief, one dealing with infatuation (love). I seem to be moving at a snail’s pace here. I need to pick it up, get some resolutions coming. And more than that, another rescue! Bluegrass and fellowriverrat were after me today for details on the Virgil/Penny thing. I want to keep that so quiet, but I’m driving the Virgil fangirls wild! And I need to get…
I’ve tried more than once to add a list from my newly upgraded Windows Media Player, and for some odd reason, it keeps adding in songs that aren’t on the list. I have no idea why it’s doing this, but it ends up taking the total songs over the 100 song limit (in actuality, the playlist is 95 songs long). I don’t know what the glitch is, but I sure would like to get rid of it.
