Um. Ha. If you were wondering why I've been so quiet the last week it's because I was on vacation, seeing my parents. I did sneak onto a computer a few times but it's a bit hard to go too fandom when you are on your parents laptop and they are talking at you from the other room.
Needless to say I got no writing whatsoever done in the last 10 days, so anyone hoping for an update on one of my WIPS you are going to have to wait for me to actually write something.
Actually it's just as well I didn't write anything. I put my WIPs on a thumb drive with the rather optimistic intention of actually working on them. And it got lost. So it is just as well I was lazy.
Oahu was lovely. We were greeted the first day by the biggest thunderstorm I've ever been in. They later counted up the lightning strikes as over 13,000. I'm not exaggerating when I say there was more than one a second. For hours. For some reason my brother and my cousins decided that was awesome weather for camping. They are just insane like that.
Other than that I exposed my kids to a real art museum. We swam a lot. We did a couple of hikes, one of which was very nice except for the fact that I'm fat and out of shape and damn that's a lot of stairs (Diamond Head), and the other one was very nice except for the fact that it rained the entire time and was a muddy slippery mess (Tantalus). No actually, despite this it really was lovely.
And I saw my parents, who are in better shape than I am despite being 81 and 79 respectively. Seriously. They are in fantastic shape. They'll both probably live to be 100. Seriously. My Grandfather made it to 98.
Anyway, I'm back. I'm tired. And I'm still on Hawaii time so it's hard to go to sleep.
