Made my donation for
help_chile , and already e-mailed the offeror my fic request. *^_^* *crossing fingers*
Also, two friends came over today and helped me CLEAN MY HOUSE and ORGANISE THINGS and WATCH THE BABY. This means I am much more clear-headed now, since having a tidy/clean house really does wonders for a girl mentally sometimes. ^^; . (And happier, and feeling more peaceful, and more relaxed before my surgery in a week or so--because I know I'll be back on bed-rest again for a while after that, grrr....) Here's hoping we can keep this place tidy over the next 2-3 weeks. I feel so much better already, finally having places to PUT things again! The piles of crap are finally gone from the table and counter!!! XDDDD
As a result, I was pretty productive tonight -- yay for replacing the 'newsflash' chap with the actual Ch.31 update to "Merits". Next Friday, update with Ch.32. (Note to self: review Ch. 33 this weekend, if possible! And finish with the rest of the outline for the damn fic! >_< I started writing it up in my daybook this past week during my pre-surgery orientation at the hospital... Just gotta track it down again...) It'll come...
But man did we accomplish a lot today! ^^; I felt so bad asking my friends, "Uhhhh... Wanna hang out... and help me fold laundry? XD" But they didn't mind at all, and now they feel happy to be able to help, and I feel SO MUCH BETTER that this place isn't a (-n embarrassing) wreck anymore. XD (There's still work to be done, but geez, getting this place back up to speed again after being on bedrest for 2-3 months was brutal--and quite an accomplishment!) So I feel much better mentally at the moment than I have in a while. ^^;
*I feel very fortunate/grateful to have such good friends to help me out!*
