Brimming

Posted in blog | Tagged random, updates | Leave a comment

Ever have one of those days where you’re just filled with ideas and yet you already know there’s just not enough time to get to them all? Certainly not within the normal day-to-day constraints of life, anyway. It’s a bit depressing. That’s me today, though that’s compounded a bit by having stayed up too late to watch Cabin in the Woods (eh – I was really hoping it would be better then it was after all the hype) and also attempting to go off caffeine. Or at least soda. It’s making me extremely cranky. And tired. Tired enough that I bailed from work for 15 minutes to go crash in my car at lunch and I *never* do that. But that’s okay. It’s more about an ever growing list of “crap that needs to get done” and trying to balance that with “crap I’d like to do.” Subtle difference, but… Read more

Measurements and Limitations (Plus Bonus NSFW Egg WTFkry.)

Posted in blog | Tagged back pain, updates, wtfkery | 2 Comments

Couldn’t really think of anything in particular to really blog about today. I ended up going to two doctor appointments – one for a growing sinus infection (a week long headache is too long, thanks), and one for the back doc. I was supposed to get another round of shots, actually – but I declined. Oddly enough, the last few weeks, the spine has been fairly stable. I’m not sure why – I’m not doing anything different, and the two weeks before that I was a total mess. Painkillers every day. And then – *poof* – things aligned and the pain lessened. It didn’t stop. Nothing ever *really* stops it, but when you live in chronic discomfort you do find that certain levels are more tolerable than others. I’ve even stopped going to the chiro as much. I don’t know. Over-manipulation is probably just as bad as not manipulating it enough and… Read more

Word Whore ~ Fox and Willow Thursday

Posted in blog | Tagged fox and willow, guest blog, interview, pocket after dark, updates, word-whores, world fantasy con | Leave a comment

I’m at a few places today – Word-Whores to start with, of course. This week it’s all about rejections…and specifically the best rejections we’ve ever received. (I suspect my fellow word-whores have some better tales to tell, as I don’t have too many). I’m also over at Pocket After Dark with an interview about writing and gaming and unicorns, all things near and dear to my geeky little heart, so check that out if you get the chance. (It’s a bit silly, but then…so am I, so it’s all good.) And of course, Fox & Willow updates today as well. Incidentally we’re looking to do some affiliate link swapping, so if you’ve got a web comic and you’d like do a mutual link, please let me know! Last thing of note – I’m trolling for tickets to World Fantasy Con. I’m definitely going, but I’ve got a few friends who missed… Read more

Monday, Monday

I’m working from home today, awaiting a vanity. Back in March and April the DH attempted to redo our bathroom himself…and actually did a fabulous job. We were all set to start working on the other bathrooms over the summer. Until the great shower debacle set things back. No, my shower still isn’t fixed. Yes, we’re going to hire a professional to do it. No, we’re not afraid of tackling a larger project…but time is becoming a bit of a factor, and essentially we’re going to have to rebuild the entire thing from scratch (walls, shower pan, new door, etc.), so we’re just going to toss some money at a professional. We’re still going to at least redo the kids bathroom ourselves though, hence me waiting for the vanity today. (“We’ll deliver it sometime between midnight and fuck up your whole day, ha ha!”) In the meantime, I’m trying to… Read more

Edit. Rewrite. Polish. Repeat as Needed.

Not much of a post today – it’s lousy on the pain scale. Don’t know if it’s a result of traveling or what, but I’m not happy about it. (And for me to have taken painkillers 3 days in a row is NOT a good sign. I generally avoid most medications, but the pain and stiffness have been brutal. I go to the back doc tomorrow – we’ll see what happens. I suspect he’ll try another injection of sorts, but if I don’t get any relief, I’m going to suggest we do a discogram – which will hurt, but might give us some real answers as to what’s going on.) Anyway, not to ramble on about my back issues, my main thought here was actually how nice it was to go back to that short story after a week of leaving it fallow…and discovering it was better than I thought.… Read more
