Spirk (with a small dose of Pinto)

For the next few months, at least, there will be a bit of a change to the blog. Don’t worry, flashes are not going away.

The change is very simply, that there will be flashes Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays going forward until such time I change my mind. In the meantime there might be less ramblings or other stuff on here as my energies are focused on staying well and keeping everyone entertained.

Thank you and be well.

A lot has happened this afternoon and it’s a little crazy.

Might delete the fic I just posted. We will see. I’m feeling weird. Not sick.

I didn’t mention it except today, but my niece was pregnant with her second baby. Last time the baby was born several weeks premature. Paige is fine now and two years old. Her mother had preeclampsia.

Her second baby was due in April, but she had the preeclampsia again. So when her blood pressure shot too high they took her in today.

Everything’s been crazy and I didn’t think to mention any of it until we found out she went in today. I thought it was kinda cool she would come on Kris’s birthday.

Anyway, she was born today as Audrey.

I had to get on WW by virtual meeting tonight and it was…interesting. But stressful. Because at the same time Los Angeles (where I work, not live) decided to take that moment to announce stricter guidelines that businesses must cease operations at least until April 19th. I now don’t know what that means for my job. I haven’t got my laptop yet, it’s just been ordered. So, it’s all a mess. Health Care operators are listed as exempted, but not sure if insurance applies.

Now I am stressed to the max, so…yeah.

Not going to allow comments here because I really don’t know what there is to say. Just..life is strange right now.

Take care of yourself and yours.

Be safe…

Well…Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, I guess

I’ve got nothing else, really. I am working at work for now. Most of the building is working from home. Not me. And that’s fine.

The news and the situations are constantly changing. So…I guess all I can say is stay safe.

There are three flashes in a row this week as there’s one on Thursday for Kris’ birthday.

I am working on another song one-shot but have barely started. I’m going to continue to work on my bang story too but it may be canceled or I may withdraw and just post it on my own. We will see.

Anyway, this too shall pass. I hope.

Stay say and well, my friends. I promise to keep posting Spirk and other stuff as time allows.

This story makes me cry for the reasons I put in my comments earlier, but she is also just too sweet for words https://abc7.com/society/family-celebrates-womans-100th-birthday-outside-nursing-home/6017604/

Here I am at work today. No indication whatsoever we will shut down (unless the president tells us to, I just don’t see it). It’s raining. We are trying to act normal as we can and laughing at the absurdity of the human race.

I went shopping at the grocery store Friday at work and was stunned at the mob scene I witnessed. The poor workers had to stay beyond their shifts to handle the madness. I have never seen anything like it. There’s a scene in the movie, Contagion, where something like that happened, and I felt like I was in some apocalyptic movie myself. I went yesterday afternoon and things were a lot calmer but they were still out of a lot of stuff like bread, paper products, cleaning stuff, and packaged foods like macaroni and cheese.

At least being at work, I was able to send my Bang story home, just in case. You never know. My office is in LA and the mayor here has shut down anything fun for the next two weeks, so, it’s best to be prepared for anything I guess.

Even my WW meetings are canceled for 3 weeks.

Anyway, I should have some time to write stuff since life is crazy. Maybe catch up on stuff at home. These are very strange times.

Got Cadet Ashayam updated and was even able to write sex. Go me. Up next, once again, is my Sound of Music AU. We’re going to get our first chapter from Prince Spock’s POV who has the Baroness (T’Pring) and Uncle Max..er..Uncle Sybock with him. Should be fun.

Plugging along on the Bang story. Chapter 2 is well on its way.

Otherwise, just going through the week. I do seem to be back on track with my eating so that’s good.

Next week we start back with the movies I think.

Nothing really exciting to report, unfortunately. Or maybe fortunately! I don’t know.

Well…my weekend didn’t go quite as I hoped as we had a friend over Sunday who basically took up the entire day. And Saturday we had errands. I should have done so much more than I did. I also way over ate. Sigh.

Got nothing done writing-wise of which I am quite ashamed. Nothing productive at all really. Double sigh.

I have two more stories that need to be updated and taken into 2020 and that’s The Mysterious One and The Fling. I will do my best to get them updated soon. But I am also trying to get March flashes done, Every Four Years Later, and actually get a good start on my T’hy’la Bang story and in all honesty I’m a little stressed about it all. Plus work…so, wish me luck.

I’ll get stuff done for you guys to read, promise. At least here if no where else.

So…I foolishly, perhaps, signed up for the T’hy’la Bang 2020. The rules are pretty brutal. I have to write a K/S fic of at least 15,000 words but preferably over 20,000. Has to be done by the end of May and posted in June. You may recall I did this one a few years back where they pair you with an artist who does art work for your fic. My story was Who Am I to Say.

I think it’s done a little differently in that I think I submit my draft which they share anonymously with artists and then they assign the artists off the pages or something. The last time was a bit of a free for all where you were left feeling like the last one chosen for PE. I think they are trying to avoid that from happening. Not sure, really. Anyway that’s not for a while because I think writers have all the way until the end of February to sign up.

And now I have to think of something. Oiye!
