… 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…
Finished a chapter of The White Winds yesterday and beta’d it today with Hobbeth. Also got another chapter of Overtures up on the 21st. Ff.net isn’t allowing uploads, so I posted TWW at FicWad. I think it will get good reviews. At least now the hit counters are working. More later. It’s later. The document manager is still timing out at ff.net, a very frustrating occurance. I know I’m not the only one frustrated by this. Well,…
And it’s about time, too. My writing has been soooo sluggish lately. I know I need to do it, I know I want to do it, but I can’t get myself to do it. Overtures has been primary in my thoughts, but The White Winds needs updating. Not to mention the places where I RP and the plot synopses I want to do for IR Central. I’ve been doing a lot of betareading lately, some of which has been difficult…
cross posted from my lj. Well, Boy #1 is now officially 12, and as a birthday gift, we bought him a larger fish tank. The size has doubled, from 10 gallons to 20, and it has upgraded fluorescent lights, so he can have aquatic plants – something he’s been agitating for. The fish seem to have come through spending a night or so in a big red bowl, and with the clean rocks and the nice gravel, the tank…
