Still recovering brain.

it's the Naughty Nurses skit to promote the blood drive. Which I am in. As Loki. In a corset and boots and a green cape. Loki, Frank-n-Furter, what's the ( Read more... ) -
Off to Arisia
I know, I know, I hardly ever post here any more.
But I'm off to Arisia! If you want to find me, I'll be at the Naughty Nurses table from 11am-1pm on Saturday and 1-3pm on Sunday. Otherwise, look for Bellatrix Lestrange on Friday night (don't expect me before 7pm), and either fem!Jack Harkness or Idris the TARDIS most of the rest of the time. Sunday ( Read more... ) -
the congratulations are really helping today
because I am in such a bad mood over Les Mis (FUCK YOU TOM HOOPER) and Downton Abbey (FUCK YOU JULIAN FELLOWES) that you would not even believe.
So yes. Trying to regain my good mood, and it helps a lot. Thank you, friends. -
Somehow this failed to crosspost on Christmas Eve...
Guess what's sitting in my inbox right now?
A letter from Storm Moon Press, offering me a contract!

A publisher whose submission guidelines call for a 30% partial manuscript got back to me today.
They want to see the full manuscript!
"Incredibly intrigued" were the words they used. (Those words give me intense hope.)
Cross your fingers for me!

observation
The breathing issues aren't really exertion-related.
Reclining at 45 degrees is better than standing or sitting upright.
Dry heat is better than moist heat -- I gasp in the shower, I'm pretty good in the car with the heater cranked. (Cold sucks.)
Booze helps.
Therefore, the ideal solution would be to park myself on a deck lounger at a nice beach, with ( Read more... ) -
good news and bad news
The good news is, the ENT doesn't think there's any need to stick a scope down my nose or my throat. He says that if there was a tumor or anything, it wouldn't be on-and-off the way I'm describing, it'd be constant. He agrees it's anxiety.
The bad news is, he thinks exercise is the answer. This is not exactly what I wanted to hear.

stupid snow. stupid orcs.
So, first thing I had to do this morning was get out of bed and spend an hour shoveling the driveway. This is not my idea of a fun way to spend the morning.
On the bright side. while it was wet and heavy snow, it wasn't so deep that I couldn't deal with it mostly by pushing the shovel, and I did get it done before the neighbors drove OVER it in ( Read more... )
