Body is cooperating a bit more on the female angle. Less so on the fibro angle today. This most likely has to do with having gone in to work yesterday on 4 hrs sleep. I hate being on-call. Still am for the rest of the weekend. Nobody else is allowed to be sick this weekend ( Read more... )

Now tw_classic_bb is over, I've uploaded Exit Strategy to Teaspoon and AO3Huge thanks to the commenter who let me know that somehow I'd managed to turn the Teaspoon version into a 12,000 word paragraph. *facepalm* I swear that's not how it looked on preview! Fixed now. I think. *crosses fingers ( Read more... )

So, bluedolfyn just reminded me that I never posted a follow-up on how that ritual went. Thus, here it is. Nutshell version: nervous firefly was nervous, but it all went pretty well anyway.

( TL;DR version )

Went for my biweekly fibro massage this afternoon. Neck and legs were like cement. I have got to make time to do at least a little yoga each day before I end up flaring. Lyrica and massage can only do so much if I don't keep the damned muscles moving ( Read more... )

Will resume trying to read flist after I finally get to see the second part of EoT, because even half the spoiler cuts in various comms are using spoilery text. Meanwhile, memery.

Yesterday's festival was great. Though as often seems to be the case, more after the ritual proper was done than during the ritual itself.

I didn't get my act together to make the lentil soup this year, but priest-dude's panspermia (get your minds out of the gutter) was probably more traditional, really, as it was a sort of veg stew with barley ( Read more... )

They actually hadn't been bad through September, just long. This one? A bit more messed up than usual. Some of the things are fun. Others less so. I'll cut the work crap, though the third one is mildly funny.

( Reason #984 why it makes no sense to have me case managing someone, even short-term to cover a leave of absence: )

I totally need to get hold of the soundtrack that has the full-length version of this. And either find or learn to make a veil that's all "Eye of Jupiter"-ish. Because this is so totally begging me to choreograph it ( Read more... )

Went to a hafla on Saturday for the first time in ages. What a blast! It was great to see troupemates past and present. Erzulie even got those of us who weren't dancing as performers to get up and dance with her, which was fun. Though it was a sharp reminder that, while it's nice my jeans are loosening up a bit, that is not a good situation ( Read more... )

So, I've been looking forward to today's Thargelia celebration like a little kid looking forward to Christmas. And I suppose the days are similar in a way. Leto even had to search pretty hard for someplace to give birth, come to think of it. Anyway, the whole, "Here, choreograph the Second Delphic Hymn for My birthday," challenge was only a part ( Read more... )
