So I have glasses on the way! A good friend of mine ordered them for me since she's got Amazon Prime, and the website keeps sending me emails on what's being done, so as of 3:16 this morning the lenses are being cut and beveled so I'm one step closer to having them on my face. Yay! What a wonderful Christmas present, I swear.
Things are looking up for now, for the most part. I ended up rescuing two kittens in the span of two weeks (one was caught out in the rain and the other was being attacked by a dog) and we're pretty sure they're both females, so we named then Molly and Sally (not after the Sherlock characters exactly; Molly is named after Molly Hooper, yes, but Sally was named by my son after the character in the Sonic the Hedgehog games...he was amused to hear there was a character in Sherlock with that name). If they turn out to be boys their names will be Martin and Sherlock (after Martin Crieff and Sherlock Holmes). They're a handful but for being strays they're really loving and affectionate.
Getting a lot of fic writing done. I'm not sure if you guys want me to go back to updating here or not, but generally I post a snippet of what I write at my Tumblr with a link to the AO3 post. I have nothing else to do, really, other than clean my apartment or watch TV, and writing is much more fun. I've expanded my fandoms, in that I'm now writing the Marvel Cinematic Universe (mostly Captain America and Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (on a drabble basis) and Murder In Suburbia. So that's fun. And I'll probably talk more about fandom here eventually, too, so you shall all see the fact that British television has taken over my life.
Only downside lately is dealing with the CPS worker and my son's visits. I didn't go into too much detail as to what's been going on in the first post I made in forever, but basically back in...July I think? My son's CPS worker did a surprise visit in order to start overnights and found out we'd had a roach problem. The whole building had one, to be honest, but we were told my son wasn't allowed in the apartment at all during visits because of that. Anyway, the apartment complex was using a non name extermination company for, like, two months so it was taking forever, and then they switched over to Terminix in mid-September and let me tell you, shit got taken care of quick. By mid-October we were seeing maybe a couple bugs a week. By mid-November? Nothing whatever. So before Thanksgiving I called her to see if she could come by. She said she'd try and come by in December.
That was the 23rd of November.
I haven't heard from her since.
Not sure if she's on vacation or what, but...yeah. I really want to be able to let my son into the apartment to open his Christmas gifts, you know? It'd be nice. So hopefully she'll show up soon for the visit. Now I just need to track down a vacuum cleaner and we're golden.
