Life doesn’t suck
We’ve been having more router problems (the fix turned out to be something really simple, which I should have thought of myself, and I’m ashamed to have called miertam up in a panic about it, but I did. I admit my weenieness.) so I haven’t been online at home much this week. Thus I’m even more behind than usual with comments, and I haven’t read my flist since Friday. Sorry! (she said, cringing) I’ve also realized that whenever I post from work, I’ve forgotten to post from my WordPress site, so I’m going to have to go back and do some housekeeping, and make sure everything matches up.
This weekend we got up bright and early Saturday morning and tamed the wilderness, i.e. mowed the front yard and hauled all the deadfall grapefruit out to the alley. Why, it almost looks like a civilized dwelling! In the next couple of weeks I need to get serious about cleaning the bermuda grass out of the garden, so we can plant fall flowers. We later went over to framefolly’s for yummy lasagna and a 10th Kingdom marathon, and today we did Mom’s grocery shopping and had her over for dinner.
And in between times, I worked like a mad thing trying to finish something for the lynnevitational, and I succeeded, sort of. In a manner of speaking. It’s finished in the sense of having a beginning, a middle, and an end, but it’s really rough, and I have an awful feeling that the ending dissolved into treacly goo when I was trying more for restrained ray of hope. I posted a link to the rough draft, but I’m not pretending it’s anything but a rough draft. I think I need to let it sit for a week or so and then go at it with a meat cleaver. But later. Just reaching ‘The End’ was exhausting enough for today.
I read a couple of the other lynnevitational stories, which are excellent as always - more will be posted over the next week. So if you don’t have the comm friended (and why don’t you?) do so now! There’s genres and pairings for all tastes, and you won’t find better BtVS/AtS fic out there anywhere.
Sleep now. Happy, happy sleep…
