Tomorrow is the last day for the August Flash story
September is Academy Month
Also beginning in September, I will be going into the physical office for my work once a week (we will see if they increase this amount in 2024), so not quite sure how or if that will affect my productivity. We shall see.
It’s Labor Day Weekend coming up. And of course I have the Monday off. My sister is hosting a big party on Saturday with all the nieces and nephews and grand nieces. So that’s what I will be doing. Can hardly believe it is nearly September already! You know what that means! Pumpkins and other Winter Squash.
As you have probably heard we are under a “tropical storm watch” here. I’m pretty sure it’s much ado about nothing. There is about an 80% chance of rain tomorrow though which for August here is unheard of. We shall see.
There’s a flash coming Monday to continue our Post Beyond story. I’m just going to keep going through August for it so expect a few more parts until the end of August and then it will go up on A03.
I also finished Cosmic Love and hope to get the final part up shortly.
I’m off on another adventure to Temecula tomorrow for the next three days so I won’t be around much. I have to go to the stupid airport tonight too for picking up someone arriving at nearly midnight. Just ugh
So I am back to trying to get Cosmic Love finished. I’ve started an update for Whom Gods Destroy but will try to concentrate on CL first. I’d really like to get that finished.
There will be another part of my ongoing post Beyond story on Friday.
Busy times coming up for me as usual.
Saturday we’re taking the sister to the airport. She’s off to visit our cousin in Maine for the week. When she comes back from Maine, her and I are off on another adventure to our favorite casino in Temecula for a few days. Still trying to win $17,000 again! LOL. I wish.
After that it’s M’s birthday at the end of August so we’ll be celebrating that with a nice dinner. Than Labor Day Weekend, the whole family’s gathering for a BBQ (nieces, nephews and mini nieces (aka grand nieces)). Then another concert at the Hollywood Bowl mid-September. Sigh. After that…MAYBE calm down for a bit? We will see
I was checking out Prince James and the Seven Vulcans (the non-porn version) and someday may get that up (no pun intended) and I have an idea for Beauty and the Beast (this might surprise you but Jim would be the beast and Spock the beauty in my story), and of course the holiday stories are coming up fast and furious (zero relation to the stupid movie series).
It’s going to be September before you or I know it.
So far I haven’t used much in the Christmas in July suggestions so I apologize ahead of time. I’ll see what I can do for the rest of the month but the two I’ve written so far don’t really. For the most part people suggested actual Christmas stories rather than July stories which surprised me a bit! The two I have done so far are set in July.
That being said I got a private suggestion from someone that I might expand to be a “holiday” story October through December as it seemed fairly complicatedish and cried out for more. So we will see.
Anyway expect the first one on the 3rd.
Very busy few days coming up. Sister’s birthday dinner Friday. Saturday we are going into Hollywood to the famouse Chinese Theater (formerly Grauman’s but same place) on Hollywood Boulevard to meet my nephew and his partner for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and then to see the old man Indiana Jones movie at the theater.
Monday and Tuesday are busy with Independence Day stuff.
And for anyone who cares, yes, I am still waiting on the HOA for the “approval” of my HVAC. I got the neighbor’s okie dokie several days ago but we still wait. I hate bureaucracy. Obviously we can expect not to have air until at least after the holiday, I am guessing mid-July. AND also the stupid ceiling repair as they have to rip that out just to do it. Just ugh.
I plan to end Bombay within a few short weeks. Once that’s done it will eventually go up on AO3.
I don’t know yet what I plan on here for May. I’d like to start getting work done on the Vulcan Jim/Vulcan Spock story that came from Granted but I intend to wrote some erotic scenes for that so I don’t think that’s appropriate for here. I still want to write a sequel to DWAHIA too but again, probably not here. Who knows I may never get to all the things I have planned. Sigh.
So as I said, no idea what’s in store on the blog for May and if I will do a continuing story on here like Bombay once it is done.
I’m busy busy in May as I already advised I have 2 trips for May. Oh and May 8th is Evening’s birthday which is a Monday so if she wants a flash for that, please let me know what you’d like to see, Evening. Nothing too complicated PLEASE. LOL
Hard to believe also in May that it’ll be 2 years since Ma passed. Strange how we think about stuff like that. I think we’ll be going to the cemetery that day and then having a special dinner that she used to make for everyone.
Luna was sick this past weekend so that was nerve wracking. She’s doing much better but we were at one point considering a trip to the emergency vet.
Haven’t been for any walks lately so I don’t have any pretty pictures to post so you get a freebie one from this site.
Recently, as most of you know, I updated A Heart Needs a Second Chance where Jim’s conversation with Rex revealed clues to the truth many suspected regarding Jim’s alleged cheating. A chapter along time coming in more ways than one!
I have a flash scheduled for tomorrow.
I am working on the next chapter of Our So-Called Life but since it will be their first sexual experience together it’s taking a bit of time. They have waited a long time for this, as have we, so it needs to be good. I don’t kid myself that it will be perfect. Look for that some time this week.
After that I’ll get to updating Cosmic Love and Welcome to the Enterprise. And of course after that the highly anticipated next chapter of Random Stranger (I’m joking of course).
All of my regular stories took a necessary step back due to the holidays, but with those behind us we can go back to regularly scheduled programming.
In the meantime, my company gets a holiday this next Monday for MLK and so the sister and I are off to one of our weekend adventures. I’ll be gone Saturday-Monday. This will be the last long weekend adventure for a couple of months so I will use it well.
I decided to delete my tumblr account, so it’s gone. I’d been thinking of it for a while now and just hadn’t gotten around to it. I really don’t get anything from it anymore and those I used to like to see on there are gone themselves, so…it’s history. I had like 280 follows on there but most of them were inactive themselves. I am actually surprised it hasn’t shut down.
Going to sister’s later for a BBQ. Well, we intend to spend the day inside instead of out as we normally would. It’s going to be another 100 degree day. Think we are supposed to have 8 days in a row, which is not normal for us. By next weekend it’s back in the 80s, thankfully.
I’ve gotten Monday’s and Wednesday’s flashes up but still need to do Friday’s. Have no fear, I will get it done.
After posting chapter two of A Heart Needs a Second Chance (cheating Jim story) I had several requests to post again soon to it so for now I intend to keep going with that story. Expect chapter 3 up later this week.
Went to a Fleetwood Mac tribute concert last night. It was fun.
Don’t know if I mentioned this but Luna has jump anxiety. She seriously does. Anyway, I am sure I have told the story of having bought for the brat this luxurious soft cat bed some years back. She refused to go anywhere near it and kept her flat not luxurious cat bed. The nice one sits in the garage.
But recently I got her this scratching post thing that has a top part for the cat to make themselves comfortable (see picture with Luna in it)
She loves it. But cannot or will not jump into it because of that jump anxiety. So she has figured out how to ask us to pick her up and put her in it. Yes, she is incredibly spoiled. But I am thrilled she actually likes it!
I’ve tested negative for almost a week now and I feel good. (Good for a geezer anyway).
This weekend I am off again to a special dinner and overnight trip Saturday for M’s birthday. It’s a little early as it’s at the end of the month but sister and I will be in Vegas for the convention then so we are doing an early celebration. M is staying home with Luna!
In other news, I am so so so busy at work I think my brains are leaking out. It’s stressing me out. I have ants in my bathroom looking for water (with so many states in drought who isn’t), I’ve been trying to lose weight again, and we’re still trying to have a family barbecue (postponed when M and I got Covid) sometime in September.
I’m working my way through stories too. I don’t have time to write anything new right now though I want to. Next update will be The Mysterious One. I hope to finish that one this year finally. But I don’t have time to get to it until next week probably.
Ayi yi. At least my August flashes are done and scheduled!
