If you can stand another post from me, here it is!
Of course today I posted a short story called Always Shall Be on AO3. Most of you have already read it. I was contacted on tumblr last night by a reader who follows me there and discovered my secret identity (kidding). Anyway, she asked if I would write something to go with her Spirk art and I agreed. Fortunately she was okay with just a short piece because I just don’t have time for long requests right now.
I finished the next chapter of All I Ever Wanted and I will post that tomorrow to give anyone who wants to read Always Shall Be a chance to focus on that. I’ll probably add the other Valentine story I did to my one-shot collection either tonight or tomorrow as well. The one with the Vulcan card. I swear I can’t even remember what I called it anymore. Ugh, Anyway, I posted it here last Friday!
Long time followers know that me and M aren’t huge huge on V Day. I got him a small present (candy) and he’s making me dinner. But he’s not making it until Friday because we have our WW meeting tomorrow. I requested chicken and mushroom pie (it’s an English thing made with puff pastry) and mashed potatoes. He is also going to make me Pot Au Creme (some fancy creamy custardy lovebird dessert, ha)
I got my one-shot done for Friday and it’s super dupery cute if I do say so myself. Hope you guys will like it.
I may get some garage cleaning done this weekend. We shall see. It’s supposed to rain through Friday and again possibly Sunday, so it’s a small window of opportunity there. We’ve had a rainy season so far. And COLD for us. We’ve had more fires in our fireplace (M’s mistake on NY’s notwithstanding) this year than we’ve had in the last ten, I swear. Tonight I am off to Target and will likely buy a couple more logs.
And that is definitely it for now (well until Friday obviously)

Is that a picture of something near you? I look forward to All I Ever Wanted tomorrow! Even better than chocolates. I bought this huge thing for the kids and grandkid, and diabetic candy for the inlaws, for after our big family dinner date tomorrow (btw – we’ve NEVER done this before. Ever). I have no idea if they like it or have ever had that, but hey, what do I know? And they won’t remember it or who gave it to them by the time the kids take them back home, so it’s all ok.
I wrote more but I just deleted it. I’m reminded of a couple of lines from the PBS mini-series Anne of Green Gables, where Anne said “I know I chatter on far too much but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don’t. Give me some credit.” ๐๏ธ

It is indeed. Up the coast a ways but yes, within an hour or so drive. Now that sounds nice! Do you know what you are having to eat? โค โค

Not yet. I guess they’ll tell me tomorrow, but Day said they were hoping for reservations at a steakhouse in Bridgeport close to where I used to live. I’m sure everywhere is going to be swamped tomorrow night, but we’re going at 6p ,so hopefully we’ll beat the rush. I’d rather son just grill out anyway – he used to cook at one of the more famous/infamous restaurants not far from where they live. Bonnie and Clyde had eaten there and signed something that’s on the wall (which is coincidental, since they were shot/killed close to my grandfather’s farm almost almost 300 miles from there) along with decades of celebs/rich/famous.. Lots of celebs have eaten there. My fave place is Miguelitos, over by Bell Helicopter. All the celebs who have helicopters (Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford) eat there when they have their required helo checkups every year, and they have signed pics all over the wall there. (As my students used to kid – help, I’m talking and I can’t shut up. ๐ค)
