That Almost But Not Quite Real Life Update I (Sort of) Promised...

[cybermathwitch]

Damn it, I keep sitting down to do the budget and the menu/shopping list for the week (WHICH HAS TO BE DONE TONIGHT) and getting side tracked by the prompt-a-thon. Then thinking I should really work on the Pacific Rim AU, only to see my green folder AND REMEMBER THE BUDGET

Thank you! Most of it was written back in April, but it's just been sitting there waiting for the right inspiration to finish it. Originally the music behind it was Vienna Teng's "Drought" but after listening through "Like Real People Do" a few times I discovered it worked so much better and helped me fill in the gaps!

The Pacific Rim AU is maybe 1/3 done? (That is, if I do more telling than showing about non-C/N character backstory.) SweetWaterSong and I started working on it last summer right after PR came out, but then we wandered off for awhile. I *hope* I'll have it done enough that I'll at least feel comfortable posting the first few chapters before the prompt-a-thon is over. I'm a little hesitant to do another WIP, but if I have the bulk of the story plotted and drafted, I'll go ahead and do it that way even if it's not all polished and beta'd.

I switched eating habits out of necessity, unfortunately. My blood sugar #s just do not like grains, no matter how carefully I follow the technical "portion" guidelines. I still do grains occasionally: I have a sandwich maybe once a week or so if we're eating out, or I'll steal two or three french fries off my husband's plate or something, but most of the time I'm living grain-free.

I hope this doesn't double post (I'm in land of Ye Olden slow internet).

I will read a Pacific Rim AU any time it's released :)

And I'm sorry your body is being a jerk, and wish you the best of luck with cooking/ food stuff.
