Thought you might want to see some pictures of the neighbor’s decorations. Cool huh? They have creepy sound too. As a child I would have been terrified of that house HAHA
I have no clue if I have mentioned this or not but a while back one of my old fillings basically crumbled and came out over several months. I haven’t been to the dentist for 20 plus years. Or I hadn’t been until today, but we will get to that shorty.
Back in my youth I had a bad experience with dentists (several bad) and so I stopped going completely. I planned never to go as I had developed a dental phobia.
When my filling began coming out, I ignored it still. Until my recent trip over Labor Day weekend when was sipping a lovely ice cold cocktail and I nearly died from the pain (warning for exaggeration). That whole weekend I had to avoid that huge hole. Here’s a picture of it courtesy of the X-Ray taken this morning.
That hole there is it.
Anyway, no surprise but I need a root canal. Ugh. But the dental office I am assigned to through my insurance doesn’t have the endo dude so I have to call Monday for an appointment so I can get that done. Ugh.
Plus I need two or three other crowns and blah blah blah. My portion of all the other stuff (not the root canal) is $3000. If I decide to have everything that is. Right now I am concentrating on getting the root canal done as that’s what is causing me pain.
So yeah, there you have my poor poor story.
The moral? I should have gone to the damn dentist LOL
This has been a cool week for August, even some pretty overcast days with heavy drizzle. It’s supposed to be hot next week though, so we will enjoy it this week. Here are some pictures at the resort where I stayed and why I found it so peaceful.
Arrival day it was sunny
Yum….cookies and cream ice cream drink (had Godiva Chocolate liquor in it)Cloudy skiesUnder the umbrella
We had a wonderful time but sad it is over of course. Vacations never last long enough
Now for the news you probably want
I have nothing written and scheduled at this point for the rest of August but I will see what I can do. No promises. That’s tomorrow, Wednesday, Friday, and Monday. I might be able to get three of those done but I am uninspired for tomorrow.
September’s theme: Academy Fics
October’s theme: Spooky
November’s theme: Harvest, Fall, Thankful
December’s theme” Christmas (not sure yet if it will be an every day thing or MWF like normal months)
I had requests for pictures, so I have posted some here. This was from our wine tasting day hosted by sister’s friend

So managed to update a couple things on AO3 this week including My Heart Wants to Sigh and The Carrier.
I am still working on getting October flashes done. I need to get my act together because I still have November ones and the Christmas story, oiye.
So I did a mini walk of September. See below.
Just looking down a pathway at a tree with pink flowersThis tree is beginning to lose leaves for the upcoming fall seasonSee? His leaves! LOLThese guys have lost a lot of their pink flowers now
Even the Jacaranda trees have lost all their pretty purple flowersThe sky is less smoky today then it’s been but we’re still in a bad air alert until ThursdayThis tree has little flowers still but not sure what kind it isOne of the fallen ones!
Don’t remember if I did a walk for August so anyway, thought I’d post a few pictures around my area I took.
The last few days haven’t been bad and it even got into the high 50s at night. But Labor Day Weekend predictions are absolutely beastly with 106 on Saturday. I keep praying they are wrong.

Tomorrow will be the last of the summer themed flashes. I am still not done with September. I have 5 left to go. To be honest I am struggling because I feel like I have done everything and it’s hard to come up with something different. But maybe I am overthinking it and you’ll be okay if it’s something I’ve written before, just as long as you can read about Jim and Spock.
This month’s walk with me is just around my condo complex. These pictures really prove that God or Nature can do color better than anything man can come up with.
All of this bougainvillea is just amazing.
Color everywhere even by the garages lolI love the little white flowers among the yellowDig these two sycamore treesThese are by one of the trash dumpsters! Flowers by the pool we are not allowed to useMore flowers by pool we can’t use HibiscusPretty purple flowersMy summer garden stakes out side my house part 1, these will be replaced by fall in SeptemberSummer stakes part 2Live Long and Prosper
The Closer I Get to You, my Thy’la Bang story is live, but most of you know it. I hope you like it.
I end June flashes with a continuing story that began Monday.
I have six more flashes for July to write, it’s a big month! And I am soooo excited to have you read those. July 01 is for Jamie’s birthday and July 03 is for Independence Day (a bit of a twist on that) but the rest…stay tuned.
I visited with my sister this past Saturday and took some pictures of her her flowers in her backyard so it’s not QUITE a walk with me but I hope you enjoy.

Release Date on AO3: June 22, 2020
Relationships: AOS Kirk/Spock, TOS Kirk/SPock
Summary: After Kirk and Spock from the Kelvin Universe get together, they are engaged in a mission that requires them to time travel to save the life of a Starfleet Commodore. But their traveling doesn’t quite go as planned and they end up traveling not just to another time, but another universe, where they meet their TOS counterparts. Jim assumes their counterparts are a couple, just like he and Spock are, but he is surprised to learn from TOS Kirk and Spock that they are not. Before he and Spock head back to their own universe/timeline, he sets out to change the relationship of their counterparts, or as Spock would say, violate the Prime Directive.
