Writing And/Or Movies Day

senashentaI woke up today on my own sooooooo warm and perfectly comfortable and I just wanted to stay like that forever, but then my alarm went off like two minutes later and I just went "booooooooo." At least my alarm picked "Daylight" by Taylor Swift today, that's always nice to wake up to.
I'm probably going to be doing a lot of writing and/or watching movies today because I promised Mom that I would spend the day in the basement getting it cleaned up after the cats were DISGUSTINGLY sick all over it the last few weeks. There was no point in cleaning before this because it would just get gross again overnight, but now that everyone seems better again I can (probably) safely do it and not have all my work trashed two hours later.
It's just frustrating because I JUST cleaned all the basement floors and the furniture for Unit Inspection recently and I'm like... GDI cats, why you gotta?? (I know they don't do it on purpose, one of US probably tracked the flu-bug in on our shoes or something.)
So today is the floors (again), the furniture (again) and the basement blankets (again), and I figure while I'm at it I might as well do MY laundry and bedding, which is like four more loads because I have SO MUCH BEDDING lol I sleep in a nest. :D
Last time it took about... 5 hours? Probably about the same this time, maybe more with the bedding, but a lot of that is soaking the gross spots on the floor and just waiting around for them to soften up so I'll take Riptide down with me and watch movies/work on writing while I'm doing that, since the TV down there doesn't work anymore. (If it did I would be watching the crime network instead. Alas.)
Uhhh... currently 24 pages into Everything I Do and I'll probably get it finished and (possibly) edited today. It's shaping up to be around the same length as Counting Scars, so a little shorter than the other three, but that's FINE, it's still a respectable length. It's also got a lot of feels-y stuff in it that isn't in the others, stuff dealing with Dean's relationship with his dad and his feelings about his hometown and that kind of thing. Also that one cute scene I wanted to include in Cerulean Blue and ended up not being able to is in it, so there's that.
I need to go back and adjust the timeline for some of these fics because the first one (Cheap Motel) takes place seven months after Horror High, but then the next one (Counting Scars) takes place I think over two years later? And the rest are all crunched up together over the next two years. I need to more evenly space them out. It'll just take some little edits, though, so I'm not too worried about it. (Except then I'll have to print them all again and it's SO MUCH INK AND PAPER.)
Nonbinary Cabbage Dog is aaaaaaalmost finished now, I just have to touch up some spots on his ruff and fix his eyes because my hands were shaking when I was trying to paint them last night and one ended up wonky. Also I still need to paint his nose. :P
Poe was like "paint a void fox which is starry" and I was like OKAY so that's my next project after Rainbow Dash fox is complete.
Poe is... really good for me, and my creativity. And I love having them back, but I worry every day that I'm causing emotional harm to them in some manner like I did before. I want to ask them about it, but I'm genuinely afraid to, especially with how things have been going for them lately. So I'm just keeping my trap shut.
Anyway.
I made that candle yesterday evening but didn't do more than the one after all, and today I'm going to be super busy so I won't have time. But the one I did make turned out well, and it smells nice, it's sitting on my work table right now waiting to go back into the storage bin in Jessie's room once she's up for the day. Maybe I'll pull the stuff to make a couple more and see if I can eek out some time this afternoon in-between wash and dry cycles or something...
EDIT: I just realized Jessie is already up for the day and will be put to “bed” in like an hour and a half and my times are just completely screwed up in my head so I’m going to go get all the candle stuff like. Now.
