Not helped by a dull headache and the expectation of my boss walking in at any minute (no clue when his plane actually gets/got in but he often comes into the office the day he arrives back from vacation for some reason). There are chances for storms tonight so maybe that's the cause of the headache.
I'm taking dinner to an elderly couple from church tonight (she was in the hospital for a couple days; he's in a wheelchair)--chicken salad, bread and cookies. I just have to throw the salad together and bake the bread (one of those pre-made loaves that's half-baked). Shouldn't take more than twenty minutes. I'm probably going to skip choir.
I got more written last night watching a pitcher's battle. I was in the car coming home from my parents' when the Twins scored their only run, making it 1-0 and I figured that was it, our third loss in a row.
Except that Gordon hit a beautiful two run walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth. :)
On national tv, too.
I connected with my artist for the Derek/Stiles bb and she's read my Peter/Stiles' fics, so that's cool. I hope to spend a lot of this weekend writing but I did last weekend too and I was sick for a lot of it.
So, yesterday's happy was the Royals, again. They're an easy happy to have.
Before I forget, today's happy is that I finally watched last season's finale for Haven--it was on the DVR when it rebooted some time and then wasn't on syfy.com for a weeks and then I forgot about it. I really like the show; I think it's developed very interestingly over the years from kind of just a monster of the week thing to a show with this deep and old mythology and mystery. Anyway, the finale was very good, and, since I took forever to watch it, I only have two weeks before the premiere of the new season!
A potential happy is that I'm only one bookmark away from hitting one hundred people who have bookmarked my Dark Side Of The Moon series at AO3. :)
Hopefully my headache will fade by this evening so I can get some writing done while watching the Royals.
three hours later
Dropped off the food. Had to squeeze around behind an idiot who got half stuck in the intersection I was trying to cross on a green light. They always think they can clear the intersection. Then saw a person doing the RIGHT thing and, even with a green light, not blocking the intersection (different one) in case the light changed and then a pick up truck rammed into her. This is all due to the road construction at the horrible intersection that I was driving around on other streets to avoid. I was glad to get home.
Just read the half page synopsis in tv guide on the Teen Wolf season finale and I may wind up being very unhappy. Remember, I didn't start watching until more than half way through season 2 so I didn't have to wait the year between Season 1 & 2 to see a certain return.
I won't stop watching but it'll kind of be like when they killed of Gabriel on SPN and, when he didn't come back (last season's fake out notwithstanding) my love for the show got a bit tarnished. Yes, I know, if I fell in love with one of the major characters on a show chances are I'd be happier as they'd survive (though that's not a given on TW after Allison).
*sigh*
Boss never showed up, btw. Headache still here. Lightly rained on me the whole way home from dropping off food (got a hug). Royals' stand in pitcher doing pretty good through two innings.
Alex Gordon just leapt into the fence to stop a potential home run ball (actually it would have hit the fence). "And a fourth gold glove is in the mail" one of the announcers just said. :)
College football starts tonight (only one game, no one big). :) I'm hoping that with more energy this fall, Saturdays will once more be Football Ficcing Saturdays around here.
Oh, and I obviously did not go to choir.
stupid town,
royals,
work,
tv blather,
