today's happy (and then a rant)
The Poly Big Bang is back for round 6!!!! I'd emailed the mods last week to see if it was coming back, hadn't heard from them, so figured it wasn't, but they just announced it. It's a bit later this year, getting muddled into holiday ficcing, but I'm doing it. Rough draft is due mid-November; posting starts December 30.
I actually got a lot done today at work--got everything ready to take to court in the morning, organized all the receipts, put in order seven months of paid invoices, time sheets, and deposit slips (just have the check stubs to do) all ready for hole punching. I did all this while watching the last four Crossbones. My guess, this was always supposed to be a one summer event (or they heard early on it wasn't going to be renewed) because it wrapped. Very interesting and enjoyable. But then I pretty much love anything with pirates. The first romance novels I ever read were about pirates.
I actually had forgotten I needed to watch these (because I lost them off the stupid DVR) and my plan was to watch the last two Falling Skies and Last Ships on tnt.com BUT it only has deals with like nine of the biggest cable/dish providers. And, unlike ABC, FOX and CW, which are the same, you can't watch older episodes after eight days. I swear, the networks WANT us to illegally download! (Well, FOX and CW do have a deal with my cable company at least but that's a new thing as of last year.)
NBC either has a deal with my cable company or doesn't give a shit because I had no problem watching Crossbones and I don't have to wait eight days for new eps of shows either, just one. NBC understands. NBC is also on my On Demand. I like NBC. I already plan to watch Grimm On Demand as it's on one of the three times I have more than two shows at the same time. The other two conflicts are CW shows I can watch the next day online or do the naughty because someone will upload them. CW and FOX are NOT on my On Demand (but TNT is, so if I'd been home...)
Also in the happy (now that the rant is over): today was the first day of dieting that I didn't feel hungry every two hours. I'm down to 5mg of steroids a day so hopefully I can start losing some of the 15-20 pounds I've gained in the last six weeks. :P I also stopped taking nexium last Friday (as I ran out of the free samples) and today I got my first bit of heartburn--very mild, lasted about five minutes after a spicy lunch with a diet coke. If it starts coming back, I'll get some more nexium--I have a $5 off coupon as it's about 75 cents a pill. Doctor said that steroids could cause heartburn. Earlier it was caused by the ulcers even though my upper GI was fine. I don't want to screw that up now that I'm getting the lower part healed. I also noticed that for the first time since I started the nexium, I smelled the smoke. Obviously the smoke smell is coming from inside my body and is related to heartburn even though I didn't always have heartburn when I smelled the smoke.
Bodies are fucking weird man.
Took two bags of clothes to drop off after work today. Think I'll take two more in the morning on my way to work. It's going to be hot this week--upper 90s through Saturday--so want to avoid doing anything after work. Today it only hit 90 and that was hot enough.
Okay, watching Royals frenzy hit in the fifth inning. With two outs we've scored three and now have the bases loaded again. Ah, pitching change.
More coffee, then may write something.
