Moving Right Along
Things are looking up here (although my weight is somewhat annoying). I've spent a lot of time writing a fanfic for the otome "Seduce Me". I haven't spent this much time on a writing project all at once maybe ever. It is nice to be excited about it. I have the whole thing plotted out. It starts somewhat differently from the game (in that I wanted everyone to be older and more mature) and then diverges quite a bit from the game. I'm writing this for me, which I've never done before. I didn't really understand the idea of it when I heard that Margaret Mitchell wrote "Gone With The Wind" for herself (that isn't necessarily true anyway). However, I really want to read this story, and since no one else is writing it, I decided to.
Last week, we got everything done for free Russian medical insurance. I think there may be a second tier of somewhat free insurance, but I think what we have gotten is enough to get the free flu shots (for which it is not possible to pay). I had expected it to be much more work than it actually was. I need to go and pick up the temporary cards next week, but other than that, it is done. I am also feeling well enough to get the second round of gum surgery soon. I'll go make an appointment for that tomorrow, and I've made an appointment for my gynecologist for later in the month. I look forward to getting all these maintenance issues handled. Sasha is supposed to take me to the endocrinologist sometime soonish too. I'll need to remind him about that.
I think I'm going to give up on Korean for now. It is interesting, but I don't have enough time for it, especially with all this writing. This isn't really a surprise. I knew that it was pushing it to try to add in a second language. I'm still glad I tried it out, though. It does seem fun.
That's about all that I'm actively working on. I continue to do meditation, yoga, and tai chi. The weather is disturbingly warm. The changes in my supplements seem to be mostly working. Yeah, I guess that's most of it.
