I am such a square or a dork whatever the modern term is
We were coming back from dinner and there was one of those signs that advertiser’s stick on your door. It said Buds R US Deliveries.
I said, what the heck is this? M says, it’s one of those delivery services. Oh. You mean like the food delivery places. He looks at me. Shakes his head. No POT. I look at it. There’s even a drawing of pot on it. Yeah. Um. Okay then.
I know it didn’t get a whole lot of reaction, but Didn’t We Almost Have It All was updated yesterday. I figure there are a couple of reasons. It’s been an angst fest, honestly, and that chapter certainly was, plus, yeah, it’s been going on for a while, I get that. Which actually leads me to the question in my own head how much longer it should go. Jim needs to talk to Bones again, to check on him, and there’s more stuff he could deal with Spock about, and the plain truth of it is, I’m not really ready to let this Jim and Spock and even Bones go yet. So it’s a dilemma. At what point are you simply indulging yourself with no real purpose? I don’t know.
I’ve started the next chapter of The Experiment. It’s a much happier, fluffier chapter, leading to the conclusion of that one. I could write on them forever, really, but there are other Academy fics waiting in line to show their pretty faces, so alas, I must let go.
It sure was hard to get out of bed this morning. M got a new phone, the 7, which you know I know Apple has passed by, but it was an improvement on his old one, believe me, but it was a pain to set up and he was in a very bad mood, and even said he was just going to send it back. I got it up and running after some curt words between us, LOL, and believe me, he’s quite apologetic and grateful to me now.
Today I booked our favorite hotel in Morro Bay, but the day we are going is not until October. See we decided we might be able to go in the fall, so I recalled that there was one year we were up there when one of the nearby towns had a scarecrow festival. Basically the whole town decorates scarecrows all over. Some are really really impressive. We had such a good time looking at all their creations and it’s just fun. So I thought I should book it for when it’s going on. It’s only one night but I hope we can make it. I have to cancel by October 15 (the night is the 19th), so we shall see.
After I get the Chapter of The Experiment done, I intend to rest my brain the rest of the weekend. Mindless fun will be on the menu. And then back at all the writing on Monday. I think up next is The Ties That Bind but not positive.
In the meantime, be at peace.
“Are you still angry?”
Jim sighed. “I’m not angry.”
“Your jaw is clenched. Your fists too.”
“That’s because I want to rip those bangs off—”
Up went the eyebrow. “But you are not angry.”
He sighed again. “Okay. A little angry.”
“I apologize.”
Jim eyed him. “For what?”
“Whatever I have done to displease you.”
He snorted. “It won’t be that easy, pointy.”
“James—”
“Don’t make me have you sent to the booth.”
“You would not.” A pause. “Would you?”
“It’s tempting.”
A kiss on the back of his neck. He closed his eyes.
“I told you it would not be that easy.”
“I worship you.”
“Spock—”
“You are everything and more.”
“Spock—”
“I would die for you.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I would kill for you.”
“And have.”
“T’hy’la.”
“Do not start with that shit.”
“Angel—”
“Hardly.” A hand dipped into his pants and wrapped around his— “Unnhh.”
“Am I forgiven?”
“Yes, yes, anything. Just fuck me already.”
We are pretty. Here are some shots of the lightening last night. These were in Santa Barbara.
Because everything is dramatic here!
Oh my God, that chapter of When I Loved You I just posted was painful. Ugh. I have decided to end that story with the next chapter. Honestly, I don’t even remember what I intended for that story anymore. It started out a Valentine Story last year and went nuts. Or I did. And now it just needs to end with the guys together.
I am mentally exhausted. Not going to lie.
I still need to get the next chapter of Maybe, Probably done as well as Didn’t We Almost Have it All. I’d also like to get another chapter of The Experiment done as it’s almost over but I don’t want to kill myself. I will be happy to get the other chapters up. I have a family thing on Sunday so my time is limited.
I did write a very brief flash which will premiere on Friday of course.
It’s beautiful here today. These are both from my work location. What’s it like where you are? HA HA. Bet not like this. This is a picture perfect day.
I uploaded the second chapter of Best Friends. So take a look.
Otherwise, we shall see what is next!
A lovely artist has been doing some illustrations for some of my stories and her latest one is for Didn’t We Almost Have it All, please, go and check it out, Artwork.
Coming up this first week in March is another chapter of Maybe, Probably. Also the next chapters for When I Loved You, Didn’t We Almost Have It All, and The Experiment (as you know I am looking to wrap this one up soon). Also a new Flash. Don’t know what yet, but I am sure I will surprise both myself and you.
Today I had off for a bunch of errands I had to do and to cuddle with Luna, who has become so spoiled and needy, you wouldn’t believe it. I returned some shoes I had ordered online that didn’t work for me, went to the grocery store, another grocery store and the PetSmart for food for Luna. While I was there I went to the cat adoptions. They were behind glass but there were two teenager cats in there with an employee and when I peeked in at them their eyes got super big. HA HA. Poor kitties.
I have had too much coffee I think because I am jittery and emotional. It’s weird. I think I had something of a meltdown on social media. Oh well. I think it will be best for me to stay away a couple of days, for the most part. I did unfollow someone today on there because I couldn’t even remember why I was still following her in the first place, HA.
Supposed to rain all weekend. I am ready for SUNNY SPRING.
Kris’s birthday is this month so I need to write her a flash. Please note, I will take requests for Birthday Flashes but you MUST remind me well in advance when your birthday is. I should remember. I absolutely agree. But I don’t. So if you want something tell me ahead of time and what you’d like in it. For Kris, I know she likes hurt/comfort so that is what she will get.
Bridge Crew Members, Cremley and Higgins, Speculate:
“Oh, my God. Not again.”
Cremley looked up from his station at Higgins. “Not again what?”
Higgins sighed. “The captain.”
Cremley glanced over at the captain’s chair. At the moment Rand was standing next to him, holding out a PADD for him. “What about him?”
“Now look at the commander.”
Cremley knew he must be referring to the first officer, so he glanced at the science station. Commander Spock was not there. In fact, Cremley now noticed he had moved over to stand beside the captain. He rolled his eyes. “Oh.”
“How can the commander be so blind anyway? Kirk isn’t interested in Rand, he’s interested in the commander,” Higgins said, with a shake of his head. “Both of them are so damn obvious about it.”
Rand moved off and onto the turbolift and Cremley noticed Commander Spock made sure she had left before he went back to her station. He’d never even said anything. He had just stood sentinel over the captain.
“I’ve heard rumors they’re together.”
Higgins snorted. “Nope. Well, not according to Uhura anyway. And I’d think she would know.”
“Hmm. I thought for sure when she dumped the commander, he’d run right off to Kirk. Those sad, pathetic gazes he aims Kirk’s way.” Cremley shook his head.
“Eh. Kirk’s just as bad.” Higgins grinned. “In fact. Watch this.”
Higgins got up from his station and swaggered, there was no other word for it as far as Cremley was concerned, over to Commander Spock’s station. Higgins leaned against the panel directly next to Spock and waited until the Vulcan straightened and turned to look at him.
“Hey, Commander, I was wondering how that experiment in Lab 12 went. I heard so much about all your work and—”
Cremley watched Kirk’s chair turn in that direction so fast he was surprised Kirk hadn’t toppled over. Then Higgins leaned in closer to Spock and lowered his voice so that no one could hear him.
Kirk got out of the captain’s chair and sauntered, there was no other word for it as far as Cremley was concerned, over to Commander Spock’s station.
“Higgins, aren’t you away from your post?” Kirk demanded.
Higgins stopped abruptly and stood up straight. “Well, yeah, Captain, but I was taking a bit of a break.”
“You just came back from lunch. You need another break already, Mister Higgins?”
Higgins reddened. “No, sir. Sorry, sir.”
He rushed back to be next to Cremley but he was grinning. “See? The two of them. Ridiculous.”
Cremley watched as their two commanding officers leaned in close and shared a look. He shook his head. “You’re wrong.”
“About what?”
“Those two are definitely sleeping together. There’s no way anyone could act that way and be platonic. They’re doing it.”
Kirk’s hand rested on Spock’s arm as he smiled at the first officer. He said something in a low voice that caused Spock’s eyebrow to raise. Kirk threw his head back in laughter. He squeezed Spock’s arm.
“See you later for chess, Mister Spock. My quarters 1900 hours.”
Higgins pursed his lips. “Okay. Okay. I think, maybe, you’re right.”
As Kirk walked back toward his chair, they both saw Spock’s gaze go straight to Kirk’s ass.
“Chess, my ass,” Cremley muttered.
Okay, so The Mysterious One and My Devotion have both now been updated.
I must now turn my attention the the flash for this week before anything else, but I am pleased I was able to get those updates done!
In other news they are predicting rain for us this weekend. Sigh. We go years without rain and now it all has to come at once! Grrr
Yesterday was a fasting day and by the time I went to bed I was feeling pretty miserable. I had a headache and felt icky. M tested me though and my blood sugar was at 89 so not too low or anything. I probably just felt sorry that I wasn’t eating! HA HA.
No movie out tonight as there is nothing we want to see but we have a Netflix DVD we might watch. RIPD which is supposed to be super bad. HA HA.
For the last week and a half I have met my step goal of 10,000 steps every day so that’s good for me! Hopefully eventually all this stuff will pay off to lower the blood pressure so I don’t pop a vein or something. Family history, so you know.
March is coming and without Daylight Savings Time and Spring. YAY
