Within just a day, I’ve had the pleasure of hauling out my Thunderbirds knowledge (with all the attendant books and other paraphernalia) to help a couple of fellow fanfic writers and personal friends. It was certainly fun, especially all the stuff about Alan Tracy’s educational background. Add to this my posting the first chapter of one of my short ( Read more... )

On the twelfth day of Christmas, ( Read more... )

I just found out that my friend and beta, Hobbeth, died after a 10 month battle with cancer. I'm going to miss her.

Yeah. The kids have all gone away for the weekend. Up to NC, to a good camp there. The Girl's friend invited them all - sort of under her siblings' names - and so they won't be back until Sunday sometime.

The house is very, very quiet, with the dog mourning her boy going away, and the Demon Cat deciding that I'm her surrogate mother (she's been ( Read more... )

Went to the Harvest Happening at church last night. The kids love this; it gives them a chance to run around and visit with their friends while riding the hayrides, eating hot dogs, and drinking hot cocoa. I wasn't sure if they were going to have it; the weather was damp and overcast all day. And boy, did I feel it! Hubby dropped us off and went ( Read more... )

Funkycheese was online and I didn't even know it until she signed off. She must have snuck on while I was getting my cuppa! Sorry about that, Rain!

I did get a solid three hour nap and feel much better, more awake. Car line is coming up in about five or ten minutes so I don't have time to say too much at the moment. I've been working on chapter 11 ( Read more... )

Talked Dragonlady into bfast at Burger King and then dessert at Dunkin' Donuts. I got my coffee there and dumped it into my travel mug, which I had prepared with an inch and a half of vanilla hazelnut creamer. Heavenly! Add two super-sweet creme-filled donuts to it, and it's perfect!

After talking about things serious and silly with her, I headed ( Read more... )

and I had a much better night last night, even if I had to kick Tika off the bed several times before she'd stay off. Some weather actually came through with thunder and lightning and, later on, some rain, too. So when I got up, my feet didn't burn like they have for the past two days or so. What a relief!

Called Dragonlady to see if she wanted to ( Read more... )

Met with Dragonlady at Atlanta Bread Company for a late breakfast. She had to take her kitties to be spayed before we could get together but it was nice all the same. We talked and talked and drank coffee, so I managed to stay awake for the whole time. Surprised me because I was falling asleep at the computer earlier. I really need to get out more!

Yes, they are. Most certainly. Mine went from mailman to plumber in the blink of an eye. He managed to install the new faucet and even replace the old drain, so now we have a functioning drain plug. And the change in water pressure? We now actually have some in the bathroom sink, a feature we've been missing since we moved into this place four ( Read more... )
