  • Just Pics

    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

    That’s the full moon behind the house

    He’s got a few new things this year I think

    He does it cute for Christmas too.

  • Personal Stuff

    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

  • Ramblings and Pictures

    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 skies
    Under 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)

  • Rambles and Mini September Walk With Me

    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 flowers
    This tree is beginning to lose leaves for the upcoming fall season
    See? His leaves! LOL
    These guys have lost a lot of their pink flowers now

    Even the Jacaranda trees have lost all their pretty purple flowers
    The sky is less smoky today then it’s been but we’re still in a bad air alert until Thursday
    This tree has little flowers still but not sure what kind it is
    One of the fallen ones!
  • Sorta Walk With Me August and Sorta Ramblings

    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.

    An ugly hazy sky
    More ugly haze
    The little fountain by my house
    Another view of the fountain
    Cool flower
    Sister-in-law’s cat, Mr. Kitty

    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.

    Anyway hope everyone has a good week.

  • Walk with me, July 2020

    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 lol
    I love the little white flowers among the yellow
    Dig these two sycamore trees
    These are by one of the trash dumpsters!
    Flowers by the pool we are not allowed to use
    More flowers by pool we can’t use
    Hibiscus
    Pretty purple flowers
    My summer garden stakes out side my house part 1, these will be replaced by fall in September
    Summer stakes part 2
    Live Long and Prosper
  • Sort of JuneWalk With Me (and some updates, too)

    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.

    The Closer I Get to You (with images on the blog supplied by J)

    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.    

    Universe: Kelvin, TOS
