Thanksgiving and other stories
When I say other stories, this time I truly do mean stories. Amazing, hm? :)
I've been in Waupun for Thanksgiving since Wednesday afternoon, which explains my absence to any Madison folks. My relative scarcity online is due to the same; I've pretty much either been enjoying family time, geocaching (it's a turkey day weekend tradition by now), curled up sleeping or trying to, or writing like a nutter. Much wonderful food has been eaten, much good conversation has been had, and nobody's gotten into anything resembling a true argument with anybody else since I've been here. Yay! I've also gotten four recall signatures for Walker and Kleefisch since Wednesday, which makes the trip just that little bit brighter. It would've been five, but the family friend who joined us for Thanksgiving had already signed elsewhere.
At the moment, the only downside is the fact that my kid sister's feeling the strep throat sort of crappy. I only found out after the fact that she took a trip to urgent care tonight. She's back now and insisting she's fine. Huh. I hope she is fine, and that whatever bug she might have takes a hike... though not toward any of us!
I'm currently a very sleepy Chanter indeed, though if I wasn't, I'd probably be working on the latest, as yet unnamed, story-type project. Yes, there is one and yes, it's original again. The ideas for bits of it have been hanging around in my head since May, possibly earlier, but for whatever reason this week's kicked my various muses for that project into overdrive. Not that I mind! ... Uh. I've just had my train of thought derailed by the news that kid sister does not have strep throat. Kid sister has mono instead. Ack! :/
... Where was I? Oh, right. Trying to keep the scenes I'm working on from degenerating into too obvious of fangirling over one specific character. Yes, I'm extremely fond of that particular character, but there's obviously liking what you're writing, and then there's overdoing it. I'm attempting to avoid the heck out of the latter. What I should really be attempting just now is sleep, though.
... Whoa. My train of thought's been sent dswerving again, this time by my parents getting what sounded like a prank call. The heck? I'm signing off before anything else happens in here. :)
*hugs everybody* Just because it needs saying before I flop, I am very, very thankful for my online circle of friends. You have no idea. ... Well, maybe you do.
