After that long entry on Monday, I've been busy with work and housework and journal housework (also book-sorting). Also have not been feeling well due to female issues. That made yesterday at work rather touch and go (and I have to send a big thank you to the customer who started to get cranky with me for being slow, but who did a Heel Face Turn ( Read more... )

Been a bit warm, so when I haven't been at work, I've been staying inside during the day, going for walks in the later afternoon and writing well into the wee hours. I'm hammering out two follow-up chapters for the Torchwood/Arrow crossover. People are loving it and want to see more done with the odd father-son pairing of Jack Harkness and Malcolm ( Read more... )

Short work week this week, so I've been digging stuff out of the files and posting it like mad and for some reason the Twitter posts aren't being reposted here as digests, so feel free to add mtxref_fic to your Friends list. I'm trying not to swamp the f-list with posts, so I'm only posting two dug-out-of-the-files fics a day. ...And writing bits and bobs ( Read more... )

Made a jaunt up to Target yesterday: picked up Cloud Atlas on DVD (thus no more stuttery, conking-out-at-random streaming vids). Also I hung out at the in-store Starbucks and managed to get a huge chunk of the Torchwood/Arrow crossover done. I think it's finished now, and I'm saving the original ending for a possible sequel, but I'm not touching ( Read more... )

Errand-running this morning, in the form of bank business that had to be done: deposits, thankfully, despite having to make a withdrawal to help with the price of the washing machine -- which is currently on it's maiden wash cycle ( Read more... )

Finally selected and bought a new washing machine: it's ready for pick up on Saturday, so at last, the end of the laundromat trips is in sight ( Read more... )

Last night saw us going to the Sears in Salem, NH, looking for a new washing machine, except that we kept getting confused by clothes driers. For some reason, we kept coming across driers that looked like washing machines (ie. they were top-loaders, or they looked like front-loader washing machines). Either way, did not have to do laundry yesterday ( Read more... )

Been busy the past few days: worked Wednesday and today, plus errand-running yesterday, to the tune of bank stuff and an appointment with my therapist. Also went to the Salem, N.H. Barnes & Noble: picked up several continuations of serieses (new Supernatural novel -- set during the current season, and I'm woefully behind --, new Cal Leandros novel ( Read more... )

Had a very good appointment with my GP (well, my GP's partner): haven't been in that particular clinic in years and it's changed a bit: they moved her office to another wing, so I got a bit twisted around ( Read more... )

More radio silence: my first week back at work ended up being more hectic than I expected, because snowstorm. I worked Monday and Tuesday, had a library night on Tuesday in which I picked up Lady Carnarvon's "Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey" (which I'd been trying to get my hands on) and in which I had to deal with the library being like a ( Read more... )
