This past weekend was a mixed bag.
I had intended to work on the Big Bang story but just couldn’t make myself, so nope, not finished yet. Likely I will do some work on it today at lunch.
I did have a relaxing Saturday of doing pretty much nothing so that was nice.
Sunday I woke up to a notice from AO3 that never went out about a month ago. On February 21, I had updated When It Began, my Tarsus themed story. There was some glitch that day and my notice to subscribers never got sent. I was lucky enough to have a few people notice and comment anyway but many didn’t. Low and behold on March 19 the notice went out. Thing was I had that on my spreadsheet of what to update next and had already been working on the actual real next chapter. It ended up kind of confusing I think for readers.
I also woke up to a troll comment that basically said Spock and Uhura should get married in the next movie. I frankly didn’t even read the entire thing. But basically theirs is the only “romance” presumably because two men can’t have one. Whatever. Happy Sunday to me. Bigotry lives on folks. And many feel emboldened to be that way these days thanks to the idiot in charge.
I love Chris Evans by the way. Not as much as Chris Pine, obviously, but adore Chris Evans. He continually stands up for what is right even while being told repeatedly he needs to keep his mouth shut. Captain America indeed.
Yesterday was a fun day of shopping and dinner otherwise and I did get the next chapter of When it Began up.
I’ve taken Wednesday off the this week basically to break up the monotony of work. Call it a mental health day.
As most of you who read this thing know in January I got sick. It lingered and lingered and lingered. To the point I still had the cough into March. This increased my need for my inhaler by quite a bit. I was literally using it several times a day. Sometimes, admittedly, more than was prescribed, but my chest was wheezy and I was having trouble breathing. Saturday night I found an old inhaler of Symbicort in one of my drawers. I wondered if there was anything left and there was, and I admit, probably unwisely, I sucked down one puff of it. It tasted super nasty and I discarded the old inhaler at once. That night before bed I sucked down albuterol. Don’t know if this is coincidence or not but I woke Sunday with no chesty wheeziness for the first time in weeks. And I have not had to use my inhaler since Saturday night. It feels great, frankly, not to have to reach for it at this point. I doubt the Symbicort is related but I did find it interesting.
I am supposed to work on When I Fall in Love next, my Cinderella story, so you can expect that some time in the next day or so.
Have a good week.

Mixed bag indeed!
I was confused when the notification went out, but realized pretty fast it was old. Though I did giggle that it was the story you ended up updating that day.
I agree about Evans. He does not back down.
Mental health days are necessary.
Glad the wheeziness is finally gone! Probably was a coincidence but man, thank goodness. It’s been a loooong time. I’m happy to hear you’re breathing better at long last.

I’m so glad too, I was starting to think I would never be normal again (not that I was ever normal, LOL)

I’m sorry about the troll. We all know Jim and Spock are the best couple ever 🙂
I’m also sorry about your cough and the wheezing. Glad you aren’t having the wheeziness anymore. Hopefully it continues! Good for taking a mental health day. Sometimes those are definitely needed
Can’t wait for the big bang story! 🙂

That man has the most beautiful eyes…just saying ;).
Lol, I got a notification for another story, read the chapter and noticed at the very end ‘didn’t I read that already?’. The thing is, the story isn’t updated that often and I have a tendency to forget what’s happened, but it was so significant because it ended with a unexpected pairing reveal.
I live in the land of trolls and seriously, they’re less nasty than the ones roaming the internet. That’s just blergh. Here’s the thing. I love fanfiction, because I get all the relationship stuff I want and that I DO NOT want to see it when I’m watching an action movie. And let’s be honest, Star Trek belongs in that category. I used to watch the show Leverage and got all frustrated when they started pairing off the characters. Especially since there were 5 and one was left out. Obviously. I have another one, but I won’t mention that one now since it just gets me angry. Anyway, as I used to say with Leverage – if I want to watch relationship drama I’d watch Grey’s Anatomy, not a crime show. Sorry for the rant, I just feel strongly about that. And I have a thirteen year old who starts gagging when there’s kissing on screen ;).
Did Chris Evans do anything in particular? Just curious…
I’m happy to hear your health seems better. Hope it stays this way!
Oh, by the way – I know MH is more prominent in my icon, I’m more a MW girl :).

He does indeed.
i didn’t know there was a land of trolls.
Well, in many ways I agree with you. I like romance, obviously, but Star Trek is not a romance movie. And they should be doing it close to TOS in my opinion where there was no outwardly romantic pairing. That way those of us who want Kirk/Spock together can imagine it and those who want other pairings can. I really don’t care if you want to ship Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny but leave my pairings alone and don’t give me your bigotry because it isn’t going to wash here.
Oh he’s always fighting with Trump and white supremacists etc. And recently he was told by his PR people that he probably ought to keep his mouth shut in case people stop going to see his movies and he basically said he isn’t going to sit by and let these people just take over and push their bigotry and hatred on others. He cannot sit idly by and just keep his mouth shut.
Ah okay. I remember MW from a soap opera many hundreds of years ago.

I think I was one of those in the confusion of that day when AO3 sent that notice.
I am glad you are feeling better. My Mom and a neice use inhalers, my mother has two inhalers. She says one covers most symptoms while addresses everything else.
Meanwhile my walking is much better. I am walking without a cane now but still a slight limp. When the bone spurs shift in my knee it hurts like hell.
Sorry to hear about the trolls. Right now I am living with one as Lee and I are not on the same page this week.
I am a big fan of Chris Evans. Loved his directorial debut and I believe he is right in not backing down from expressing his opinion.
