Sep. 6th, 2024 09:20 amI was really sick most of yesterday and I'm really hoping it doesn't translate into today, too. Real TMI stuff. So far I don't feel too bad, but I'm having minor stomach pain, which like... I have stomach pain (or, intestinal pain, really) almost every day, so it could just be that, or it could be more of yesterday and I REALLY don't want it to be more of yesterday. :|
Speaking of being sick, my lungs have been JACKED the last month or so, I think?? because of my allergies but I don't know for sure. All I know is that I can't breathe (again, we JUST fixed this with the Breztri), my lungs feel, like... sponge-y?? And I have an intermittent cough. I'm HOPING it's just a bad allergy season, but if my lungs are still like this when I next go see Dr. K, I'll bring it up with her. Seems like nothing but bad news with my lungs anymore. Sucks.
I finally broke down and ordered a potted pink princess philodendron, since one of my clippings died and the other is just... sitting there. Anyway, it arrived this morning and it's tiny (only 4") but a full-on PLANT and THAT I can work with! So later today I'll be repotting her into a better pot and setting her up somewhere sunny to get her a good start. Her name is Charlie. <3
On the subject of Charlie, By Any Other Name is now called Ghost In The Machine for real purposes and also for haha purposes. I have about two pages of it written so far. 15 pages of When Lightning Strikes. 11 pages of Pinfeathers. 5 pages of Halcyon Days (including the ending.) 5 pages of Teeth. And last night I started tinkering with Tying Knots again, my Omegaverse Destiel fic, which is officially the only one I'm writing with Top!Castiel and Bottom!Dean. I'm only about 3 pages into it.
Just keep writing, just keep writing...
I do intend to shut all these one-shots down and start working on Storm Season again, though. Next week is posting the last chapter of Horror High, and then I have Cheap Motel, Counting Scars, Cerulean Blue, Everything I Do and Falling Stars to post, and then I'm HOPING to get right into posting Storm Season so I need to get back to it and get it finished in the next 5 weeks. But definitely by the beginning of November because I'm hoping to actually complete the NaNo this year.
Having said that, I've just jinxed myself and I know it. :|
But I figure I can at least ATTEMPT TKA for the NaNo. I already have the whole storyline written out in point form notes, I just have to actually WRITE the damn thing. (Mom read my jot notes and said even that was an entertaining short story. She also read the jot notes for The Order of Delphi and was confused by them, but I don't blame her, TOOD is still a very in-progress work. The notes need major editing/updating/adding to.)
Still tinkering with the notes for Sins Of Angels and Scarlet Letters, which are WAY down on the list of things I need to write. And I SHOULD be working on Ghost Of Nameless Stars, but not having Poe to chat with regularly has somewhat stymied me with that one. Like I have a big question I need answered about Eden and I asked but they never answered, I guess they never saw it, and I can't even ask again because we are taking a break from emailing for a while. idk I might just make an executive decision and hope for the best??
Today I have to figure out a way to get the cat litter boxes (2 of them, each weighing 18kg each) down the basement stairs but with my back, hips and wrists it's impossible. Apparently Mom is refusing to do it anymore, though, so I have to figure something out. Maybe if she sees me taking juice jug scoops of the litter downstairs at a time she'll get the idea. I dunno.
I wish I could just switch my cats over to the flushable pine litter that Mom and Lee use for Jessie, but I tried that before and Juna REFUSES to use it, he just shits outside the litter box if I put anything in it other than clay. So until Juna is gone, I'm stuck with clay litter. It's a pain, especially when my physical health prevents me from moving the boxes of litter down the stairs and no one else will do it for me.
Like considering all we do for him, would it kill my brother to do it when he's here using the laundry facilities every week? But God forbid you should ask him. He just rants about how he always has to do everything (he literally does nothing) and how I'm being fucking lazy and that kind of shit. Like, pardon me for having scoliosis and hips that pop out of their sockets and wrists and hands that are riddled with arthritis/tendonitis. I do what I can but some things are just beyond me.
