So we’re on fire by right where I live. I’m okay so far, not super close to us, but close enough. We saw flames this morning and the situation is ever changing.
Needless to say I am getting no writing done.
If it changes I will update here
Views of smoke from my office
What a crappy week last week was. Traffic was just awful almost every day. I had to help a friend Friday and Saturday, which was draining, finally did have today but I had to do laundry and dishes and I’m just exhausted and unmotivated.
Today, Monday, I had to drive in and I hope the traffic doesn’t kill me.
I am trying to finish up my OMS story which must post in November. Which begins Thursday in case anyone was wondering, ha ha. Then I must finish Christmas and get going on my T’hy’la Bang story. Fortunately I started it. Somewhere somehow I need to get a chapter of My Devotion done.
I’ll likely be quiet for the most part this week. Won’t get a new chapter of Where Do People Like Us Float done this week but I think only Kris and Jamie are reading it anyway.
Happy Halloween!
You may have noticed that I don’t have a new chapter up of Where Do People Like Us Float. I meant to. I even started the new re-written chapter but I never quite got it finished and I just didn’t have the energy to finish it up last night, so I do apologize. When I do get it done, I will go ahead and post it.
I did update The Mysterious One. Next up should be The Sight and Nine Lives. Whenever I get them done.
I watched Young Frankenstein last night instead of writing. I plan to take it very very easy this weekend. I do have some shopping to do but for the most part I am going to do my best to be a shut-in. I’m a little burned out and a little depressed. It’ll pass.
Supposed to be hot this weekend. Sigh.
Yesterday I updated Professor Spock: An Autumn in Harmony. Only one chapter left and that will be uploaded on Halloween.
Monday I updated The Experiment.
Went to see the Neil Armstrong movie, First Man, last night. It was good but long. Kind of exhausted.
I might work on The Mysterious One next we will see.
Nothing else to report! See you around.
Had my onsite screening today at work where I get discounts on my insurance depending on if I pass certain criteria.
I was one number off for my blood pressure, which is still too damn high, even though I lost 40 pounds. I am really disappointed I didn’t meet that for my BP because I thought I would. My glucose level was 86 which is great and my cholesterol was good too. But they just tell you those, those don’t count toward the discount, the BP does.
So basically of the $700 I could get I am only getting $300. That sucks and I am mad at myself.
I also ate and drank too much over this past weekend. We had my cousin here but that was no excuse to go on a binge. And then Thursday we have another thing with her. I’ll have to be careful not to over do it more. I am fasting today.
I’ll probably update my Professor Spock story only a handful of people are even reading later this week. Other than that I am pretty unmotivated to write anything.
I’m in a bit of a funk, honestly, but hopefully it will work it’s way through.
We are having some really great weather right now (sorry for those in the path of Florence) but for us, it’s 80s during the day and low 60s at night, great for sleeping with windows open. Sometimes September heat can be a nightmare so this is very welcome. And it looks to stay this way for the foreseeable future. It also helps us with our electric bill as we haven’t been needing to run the AC. It’s also perfect hot tea drinking weather after the sun goes down.
Last night just the two of us went to see Peppermint. If you’ve ever seen Death Wish from the 1970s with Charles Bronson, then you know what you have, but with Jennifer Garner in the Charles Bronson role. It had your typical caricature villains doing stupid stuff for no apparent reason, like killing her family, is a huge example. Anyway, despite the less than stellar movie, it was a nice get out for us.
Later a certain someone’s mood soured (not me) when one of our kitchen drawers broke (those little plastic pieces in the back that keeps the drawer in place. You would have thought it was the end of the world as we know it. Needless to say it’s a trip to the hardware store for us tonight after work.
I feel great about finishing Anything and, though admittedly, I would have liked a greater enthusiastic response to its conclusion I acknowledge a lot can happen in the near 2 years it’s been going.
I’m back to working on the Christmas story at the moment and I reread what I had written so far and very much liked it. It’s what I feel like working on right now with all the personal angst swirling around my head.
I got some new fall decorations that arrived yesterday and they look smashing. Including some fall flavored Salt Water Taffy. I can only indulge in a piece now and then but they make me happy so there! LOL.
As you may or may not remember, last holiday season I was sick as a damn dog (I hope to avoid that this year) and we also went out for Thanksgiving to a restaurant (side note: It was 100 degrees on Thanksgiving last year, UGH). We were all disappointed in our meal (I was super sick then too). Anyway, we are back to hosting it at our place this year and knowing that I bought M an apron with an applique turkey on it that says Happy Turkey Day. HA HA. Couldn’t resist.
At the moment I am on a self-imposed tumblr avoidance. I’ve made it so far three days. Go me!
And that’s it for my rambling at the moment
What Happened to Spock is finished if anyone cares!
I really wish I knew how to make Spirk videos because this song would be perfect for a piney (ha) Kirk thinking about Spock and she who will not be named.
It was only Sa-Mekh who came out a few minutes later.
“He’s resting. I put him down for a nap,” Sa-Mekh said. “He should be better when he awakens.”
Suvoc had no doubt that when Sa-Mekh said he put Father down, much like a parent does for a child, he helped Father ease into sleep. Fear and uncertainty curled in his stomach.
Sa-Mekh looked to Ronan, who remained as cool and calm as he ever was. “Which of your parent was human?”
“My mother, actually,” Ronan replied, taking the tea Suvoc handed him, with an easy smile that served to melt some of Suvoc’s unease. “My father was Romulan and Vulcan. His father was Vulcan and his mother Romulan. It was she who raised me.”
“You were raised by your Romulan grandmother,” Sa-Mekh said with a stiff nod.
“Yes. She was a former commander in the Romulan forces.”
Suvoc decided it was time to direct Sa-Mekh away from the inquisition. He opened his mouth to speak.
“How did you two meet?”
“Sa-Mekh—”
Ronan held up his hand. “All is well, e’lev. Were my grandmother alive, you would be subjected to similar inquiry. My people are gone, all of them, and I went to the colony to help with rebuilding all that I could with New Vulcan. I am only a quarter so I was rejected as a sperm donor, but I am involved with implementing native plants and species onto the colony. This is how I met Suvoc.” Ronan smiled in Suvoc’s direction. Being only a quarter Vulcan, Ronan smiled easily, showed his affection easily, and yes, his wisdom. “After our initial acquaintance, your son found that it was his time. We decided I would assist him with that.”
Suvoc felt himself color but did not add anything to Ronan’s words. Indeed, what else was there to say? Sa-Mekh could fill in the blanks.
“And you are well…suited?”
It was the closest Sa-Mekh would come to asking if there was affection between them. Suvoc nodded. “Yes. I wish to speak of Father. When can I talk to him of the healers on New Vulcan?”
“I made him aware of your intention to speak, but whether he recalls that, at this point, I cannot say.”
