Iconic Love
Okay, it's official. I'm in love.... again. {blushes and then explains}
I know that I've mentioned this before, but if you haven't gone to sign up with pink_cosmos, you should.
Just the other day, I was admiring a whole bunch of older coffee-themed icons and dared to leave a comment about wishing some were for decaf. This morning I found a reply in my inbox, scampered over and was amazed to find not one or two but a whole fleet of nifty decaf-themed icons already! Yatta!
Hence the new one adorning this entry and hence my strong recommendation that you go see what she's got. And if coffee, chocolate, sports teams, witty sayings, American television, girly stuff, adorable skulls, sewing, floral, etc, isn't your thing, sign up anyway. Even if all you get are the animated "Kawaii Not" icons from the latest post, it'll be worth it.
On a less encouraging note, odds are good there won't be any progress on fanfiction for the next couple of days. After "neglecting" her post-invasion, my mom has relapsed into helplessness and I've got to go over there this afternoon to sweep up the pieces again.
There's a bunch of housework that I need to do there, too. Laundry, recycling, floor cleaning, etc, so it won't be just sitting on my ass keeping her company while she reiterates everything that happened while the family was in town as if I wasn't there.
Before you ask, yes, this has happened already. Luckily it started while my sister was still here, so I have witnesses for a change. Honestly, I don't know what is hurting her worse, the Alzheimer's disease she can't imagine having, the alcoholism that isn't real according to her, the sleep disorder she denies exists, or what. {long dark sigh}
So, it's off to the DHoC for at least tonight and possibly tomorrow night, too. How she can feel lonely again after so damned much company makes no sense to someone who isn't impaired, but to her, it's reality as she knows it.
Reveille at 4:30 this morning due to a severe thunderstorm wasn't much fun, either. I had to struggle awake and then go unplug my precious laptop, but the sad part is that the minimal rain we got didn't do a damned thing to break the heat. {sigh} The weather service says there might be relief tonight or tomorrow, but I'll believe it when I feel it.
