i really gotta stop letting days go by
*sigh*
So, Monday I had the day off and barely left my chair and computer. All told I wrote about 10000 words on the big bang (my estimate of "about 3000 more words" was so far off) over the weekend. I did edit everything I had and added several scenes to make the Peter/Stiles 'ship not come out of nowhere. Also added sex scenes instead of the 'fade to black' shit. That said I still have to write the Derek/Stiles convo and the decision of all three to share. I have till Sunday.
And I have a sermon to write before that.
Monday's happy was that KU put together an absolutely wonderful first half at home against OU. We couldn't miss a shot. Literally for a while as we went eight of eight from three. We were up by nineteen at the half.
And completely slacked off/fell apart in the second. OU not only crawled back but took the lead! We couldn't buy a basket and, again, there were some ridiculous calls. Our perfect from the line sophomore (and not just like two of two, he'd hit nineteen in a row and about twenty five or so going back to last season) missed one. It was just sad.
For the first thirteen minutes and then we stormed back and won by seven or so.
I called dad afterwards and he joked that he needed to buy a home defibrilator.
Back to work on Tuesday. Boo. My stupid Word document was accepted by efiling; still no idea why after nine days RTF files are no longer "compatible". Nothing of great excitement happened. The whole week has been busy so far at work.
Tuesday's happy was that on The Flash, not only was adorable Wentworth Miller back as Capt. Cold, but it was a Prison Break reunion with Dominic Purcill playing Heat Wave! And that ending!!!!! Not only to we have Piper coming on (will he be gay, please, please, please!) but Golden Glider!
Wednesday was another long day. I so wanted to stay home once I got there but I forced myself to go to choir practice. Not only do we have the Love Service and this big concert with other choirs coming up, but we also have a funeral service where we're singing four songs. One is a Holly Near song we sang a couple years ago, one is Bobby McFerin's "23rd Psalm" which I and four others chanted/sang last fall for my service on prayer, and one is my favorite song from our new hymnal, "Standing On The Side Of Love" which our choir director says is too hard for the congregation to sing so she heavily encourges us not to use it in services. I've been singing the thing for years (I sang it for our memorial service when that UU church in Tennessee was shot up like seven years ago--we were still in our old building). It's got a tricky rhythm in a couple places but it's really not THAT hard. For me, the only hard thing is that it goes to C above middle C several times which is too high for me comfortably. Anyway, the fourth song is a new one that is very difficult. The funeral's on Valentine's Day. I don't know if we're going to be able to pull it together.
Luckily for the Love Service the next day we're singing a song we did last fall and also a very easy version of "I Gave My Love A Cherry".
So, I guess Wednesday's happy was singing.
I wasn't happy to find that my CW channel has gotten glitchy and freezes for a second or two here and there. It's also doing it on the channel two away where I'm watching the Virginia/Georgia Tech game. Very annoying.
Today's happy is that POTUS came to my wittle town. The first sitting president since Taft to do so. :) He flew into Topeka last night and for some reason stayed at the Holiday Inn. Trying to come off as a common man? More likely because it's the first motel/hotel right off the Turnpike/I70. *g* We do have a couple fancy hotels, one on campus, which is where he spoke, though he first went to a Headstart program at the local congregational church which is like two blocks from my work. He also met with the KU bball team. He is a KU bball fan--he often has them winning the NCAA tournie. People tend to forget that he has family in Kansas.
Apparently traffic was a nightmare while he was in town but I was stuck in my office.
I had an ooky tummy all day so I had pancakes for brinner. :)
Need to go throw the wash in the dryer; get some more coffee; put together the elements for the Order of Service that I'll go into work early to do; hopefully work on the big bang. I now have all the people lined up for the service (I hate drafting an OofS that is incomplete--it's the OCD coming out in me), just need to pick a couple readings from the handful I found over lunch today.
And I am SO far behind on tv. Though I did watch both Librarian eps and it seemed to wrap the series (or maybe); was it a one year deal?
