I’ve been thinking about the past for the last day or so. It’s been twenty-three years since I went to Ireland now. One of my most fondest memories of my lifetime and it was so long ago. Kind of sad in a way.
Twenty-one years ago I had my gallbladder surgery, right after I came back from Disney World. Ha. Well, almost. We went in July (and don’t even talk about being in Florida in July, ugh) and my surgery was in September. It’s also hard to believe it was so long ago for Disney World.
For that matter, it’s been seventeen years since I went to Austria and Germany.
Where does the time go? I really don’t know. There’s a song by Five for Fighting that is called 100 Years and it talks about having 100 years to live (which of course we don’t, most of us) but what really strikes me is the line I’m fifteen for a moment. Because, really, that’s how it is for us. Life goes so fast.
Anyway, in a couple of days I am off for San Diego for three days. Before I know it that will be done as well. And then August will fall right behind it and it will be September again.
I’ll be working on All I Ever Wanted, next, I think. Not sure when I will have it up, or if I will, before I leave. I am also working on the Professor Spock sequel and at the moment I am actually leaning toward concentrating on that for a bit. I also worked on my Christmas story a bit, yesterday, creating a new beginning for it which will need to be tied together with what I have already written.
I did get the next part of The Love of a Lifetime up for publication here on Friday.
I am going to leave it here, that if another ST movie is made without CP (which I don’t think it will be but you never really know), I will be finishing the stories I have going and then quit writing for the fandom. I’m not interested in a new Kirk and I’m not interested in a movie without the AOS cast. I suspect either a deal will be made or they won’t make the movie, which if Paramount is against putting in any real effort to it, is frankly for the best.
On to other things. Don’t know if I mentioned it or not but my job is moving locations in 2019. There was all kinds of speculation as to where we would be moved (basically our building was sold, our lease is up next year, so we are being booted out), but they have made the decision and it’s literally down the street from where we are now. But ack, moving sucks, and I am not looking forward to it. Yeah it’s not for a year, but, gah. I’ve been in this building for years.
Anyway, that’s the rambles for now. I leave you with a picture of where we are staying in San Diego.

So long ago. Time flies for sure. I didn’t even realize it had been that long for you.
You should talk M into another trip!
I’m with you on ST. That is all.
Also? Gimme stories! :). But I’ll be patient if I must.

Right now we’ve been doing little trips which is probably how it’s going to stay for a while as we try to pay off some debt. The freaks want to go on a Celebrity Cruise to Iceland and Ireland, which sounds amazing, but they want to stay in suites with butlers, etc and it would be $18,000 plus for the two of us. That is not happening!

I too can look back at places I’ve been years ago and wonder when, if ever, I can return. Ireland in the 1990’s. Germany and Austria also n the 1990’s. Can’t afford a vacation this summer. Last summer visited colleges with my twin girls. Now my three daughters will be in college this year. Money going out faster than it’s coming in! Maybe my husband and I can swing something in the Fall. My Dad is home from the hospital… the second time since July 12th. He feels well and doesn’t let things get to him! But it’s still overwhelming to think about him being sick.
I sincerely hope Paramount sees that they need Chris Pine! Money is the driving factor behind decisions in Hollywood, not the art of movies!! Hope there can be some compromise reached! And Lord knows I’d mourn his loss to the franchise and the loss of your stories!
Holding onto hope! ❤ ❤

Yeah Disney fucked up with their franchises too. But these greedy studios still make more money than they know what to do with. I doubt they will make any money without him, but that’s me

100 years is such a good time and yes time flies. I still feel like I was in highschool just a year or two ago but I wasn’t. I don’t feel like I’m old enough to be an adult LOL
That is a beautiful looking hotel. I hope you enjoy San Diego! Take lots of pics to share with us! 🙂
