As part of my weekly ramblings, you get a picture. Isn’t he pretty?
Well here we are in 2017.
The year didn’t start out well for me. I got a nasty comment on my fanfiction, When It Began, which basically questioned my whole scene with the teens, implying I was going “too fast” with the story, that the teens shouldn’t be kissing (who knows why), and worst of all, that Spock was completely out of character in the story. In fact they said he was so out of character “it hurt”. I am admittedly “Jimcentric” but I still try hard to get everything right with Spock. That was the New Year’s Day comment I woke up to.
To say I almost threw in the towel on that story as well as my entire account on AO3 would be an understatement. I put so much effort into those stories, not just for me, but for everyone else, and I was discouraged and disappointed.
I know I have a pretty vigorous readership on there. Many of whom never comment. And others who only comment sporadically. But all I could see was the negative.
I’m still struggling to “get over it”.
Like my friend, Kris, I don’t make resolutions. Not anymore. But I do have a few things I’d like to do this year and that includes the dreaded losing weight. I am too old at this point to worry about being hot or anything, but I do want to be healthier and that is probably more my goal than necessarily a number on a scale. I’d also like to be better with money. Later this year I will be going to Yellowstone (June) and how I will afford it is still a mystery. I spent way too much at Christmas, though it made ME happy to do so, so that’s important too. Still I need to better control my spending. I need to be better to myself too.
That’s about the extent of my ramblings this week. I am still going to the hospital on a daily basis. I’ll be there again tonight. The latest is that they’ve determined she has A-Fib as well as all kinds of infections. She’s having swallowing and speech therapy though and is doing quite well with those. She has no paralysis and her movement is fine. It also seems like most of the sundowner’s syndrome has faded. But yeah, still in the hospital and likely for a few more days.

First, screw the haters. Second, I’m sorry about your recent hardships. I really am. Third, did you SEE the recent pie pictures? And the collage comment?! LOL.

Yeah, thanks. Haters suck.
I didn’t see them, but I went over and had a look. I’m glad that at least for those pictures, he cut his hair. I was not amused to see the bun boy look on him at the airport, nor do I care the for the Grizzly Adams thing.
Collaging! Why am I not surprised by that?

Like for real I picture him in his house with the heat set unhumanly high, wearing nothing but his tight little briefs, with these insane tiny little scissors, cutting pictures and making COLLAGES.

Very pretty picture ^-^
I’m sorry you got a nasty comment. I don’t understand the people that feel the need to comment in such ways. You can’t say something nice then such your mouth, don’t say anything and just exit out of the story and move on. I’m enjoying When It Began and can’t find any faults. Love all your stories and look forward to the new ones you come up with this year
Resolutions, not a fan. I set some goals and hopefully one or two will be accomplished. Weight loss and being healthier is something I should also work towards. I’m still jealous about Yellowstone
Glad she’s doing better. Hopefully she can go home soon
Also, I just want to hand out with Chris and make collages LOL

You know my thoughts on trolls, so there. What I will focus on is my friend who did a great job on his first completed story for 2017… “The Orion Conference.” Way to go Ivan.
Like you and Kris, I don’t do resolutions. I set mini goals each month or quarter. My health has not been great this season, arthritis flare up affected my mobility so much I am using a cane these days. My focus for health is weight loss, and strength training with elastic bands and kettle balls. Saving money is my goal, while I don’t use credit cards anymore. I still dislike living paycheck to paycheck. I want a nest egg I know will hatch when I am older. I’ll be 50 in March.
I am glad to hear she is doing better. I hope you have a great time in Yellowstone. I don’t have any trips until I see my older sister later this year in New York (she’s paying for the trip).
I want to make collages with Chris too.

Yeah making collages isn’t really my thing but I’d make an exception for Chris
