It has been a week but by God, I got a lot done at the end of it.

Namely, posting two fics! My first for the prompt challenge that Sev and I are doing, and also my first this month for

That was a much busier weekend than I had planned. Friday night, paladin made us some shrimp fried rice, and then he and I chilled and played Final Fantasy XIV (he's at the endgame of original ARR plot and I'm psyched to have him run around Heavensward with me!) but he warned me that he had quite a chore list for us for the weekend, and oh boy, ( Read more... )

This week has been mildly ridiculous. Tuesday a migraine tried to set in, and I beat it back to being about forty percent functional, and that took up most of Wednesday too. Thursday night we played our Exalted game ( Read more... )

Finally home! We went on a whirlwind vacation--my sister-in-law is in town from overseas on her annual summer journey, so we went to Tennessee to meet up with paladin's family.

I am swinging back and forth between epic productivity and epic fail right now, I think. I finished most of the cleaning on Sunday, and dug up half the yard to plant a bunch of bulbs. I won't know how successful that was until spring, since it's all hyacinths and tulips and lilies, but it is planted and there are giant lumpy sections of dirt ( Read more... )

Last night I finally finished the embroidery project (after spending about ten straight hours sewing, with short breaks) and I am in the confused state I often get at the end of a particularly big Thing, where I panic and go "oh crap I have to work on the thing!" and no, Rina, no, there is nothing to work on shhhhhh have some more wine. I am still ( Read more... )

so, in light of my post from earlier this week, this piece on Shakesville about the way women's reproductive choices (particularly women who do not choose to have children) are audited is a thing I saw today. I really like the way that it addresses both the "women are loving and nurturing INTRINSICALLY!" thing and the idea of "having it all," and ( Read more... )
