I've just learned that I can't give blood for a year, since I got those blood transfusions during Barak's birth. Wah :( I guess I understand why (although it does sound odd) but I'm sad, because I wanted to try and get back in the habit. Well, next year it is. If I remember ( Read more... )

I'm all head hurty today. Ow. I can't decide if it's caused by still being short on sleep, the quick-change of the weather, or my latest editing job. Maybe it's just because I've been ::headdesk:ing so much in the last few days? That might be it. Anyway, I've taken some Tylenol, so let's see if that works, because it's hard to concentrate on ( Read more... )

Since Avi ended up co-oping today, I washed all the baby clothes, plus a load of our clothes. When the baby clothes came out of the dryer, I sorted them by size and packed them in bags until we have a dresser. I cleaned the bassinet within an inch of its life. I finished up a Suddenly Sprockets! project and sent it off to my boss. I started editing ( Read more... )

Flipping channels, Avi happened upon DW: Silence in the Library and I noticed something. Does the Doctor say the Library is in the 51st century? As in, when Jack Harkness is from? Huh. That seems to have created a plot bunny or two nibbling at my ankles. ::glares at them:: But I'm not writing those fics. Nope. Even if it's really tempting ( Read more... )

On the good side of things, I've already managed to write one ficlet for fandom_stocking and I'm brainstorming on another. Also, the only thing scheduled for this weekend is a kid's birthday party on Sunday, and I might con Avi into taking Yael by himself. ::crosses fingers:: Note to self: Pack present from AC Moore stuff, because Avi won't remember ( Read more... )

( Minor medical TMI )

Somewhat productive morning, as I dropped Yael off at school, then managed to run three errands in stores right next to each other: bought Maalox and Zantac in CVS, iron-on hemming stuff at G Street Fabrics, and two bags of art/craft things for various birthdays coming up at AC Moore. As usual, Melissa & Doug saved my life, as I found they now make ( Read more... )

And I've posted my Yuletide fic :) I posted fic number 30, so I'm pleased with myself. The story isn't perfect, and given less stressful times, there are some other things I might have done with it, but on the whole I think my recipient will enjoy it and so will some other people and that's pretty much what Yuletide is all about ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who backed me up on "one...receives" (which was all of you, I think). I don't normally second guess myself, but I'm just so exhausted it's not even funny. I'm really going to have to stop editing, because I'm doing a lousy job, so it's a waste of everyone's time and money. ::sigh:: And I have so much work too. Argl ( Read more... )
