Spirk (with a small dose of Pinto)

As you know I generally like to keep readers here informed.

I have made the decision to put all my ongoing stories (non Holiday/Christmas) on hiatus until January. I don’t like to do it but there is simply no way to avoid it this year.

I am doing I Just Want You to Know Who I Am and three holiday flashes a week here and that leaves little time for anything else because I gotta have a life too.

And boy is December jam packed. Amusement parks, family get togethers, dinners, getaways, doctor’s appointments, just everything.

Anyway, I will make them all a priority in January.

Thhh-tthat’s all folks

I starting to believe in curses… read on for more

First of all, for anyone wondering, nope, no kitchen. I don’t remember if I showed you one of the pictures of the place, but here it is for your viewing pleasure. The whole kitchen and dining room looks like this.

So,

We don’t know anything yet, alas.

1. the light in my bedroom ceiling burned out. It’s a high ceiling so you have to have a huge ladder to replace it. We have
2. The handle on one of the toilets broke off entirely. Yes, we replaced that too
3. Last night we come home from doing laundry at sister’s place and we go to put on the heat as it was chilly. Cool air is blowing. Yes from my brand new as of July HVAC system. I called this morning. They are coming tomorrow afternoon to check it out. I am not amused. I am miserable the least give me some heat for goodness sake.
4. One of the living room lights was burned out. Sigh. Replaced.
5. After work I went to watch TV upstairs, TV would not come on. I checked all plugs, all seemed fine. Still wouldn’t come on. I was getting frustrated. So finally I decided to check the batteries on the Roku remote. Replaced him. TV came on.

Anyway, I am beginning to feel like I could be in the movie the Money Pit

This too will pass I suppose

to all my American friends

I hope you are able to spend it with those you love

1. I will have a flash up tomorrow
2. I hope to get a Pinto flash up for next week
3. My leak has finally been fixed ($1100 later), yes you read that right
4. They might be able to take the noisy blowers drying what remains of my kitchen away tomorrow
5. Then, well, I don’t know what’s next after that, I’ll keep you posted
6. I had planned a couple of days away before all this for Sunday and Monday nights, so I am still doing that.
7. Um, I think that’s it for now

I will have the next part up tomorrow. Cross your fingers for Thursday and Friday. I’ll try

It’s been an eventful week even before I leave Thursday

Toilet guts had to be replaced Monday

And now we have a big time leak coming from the fridge line. Plumber coming tomorrow.

So…yeah

The sun will come out tomorrow!

My brother did pass away last night, so there will be a delay updating the blog story, but I should be back to writing and scheduling more for next week.

thank you for your support

Life is a bit nuts right now. I’m dealing with work BS, my brother’s declining health and possible imminent death, migraines, anxiety, just all kinds of stuff.

And a bit of writer’s block on my AO3 works in progress. I’m going to say right here I abandoned and deleted one recently that I just don’t want to work on anymore (Whom Gods Destroy). But I still have A Heart Needs a Second Chance, The Wrong Captain, Still the Best, Welcome to the Enterprise. I think that’s it but not entirely sure. Anyway, none of those are abandoned. Just on pause as I sort some stuff out.

Right now I am enjoying writing my blog stories so that’s where my energy is. And soon I will be writing amnesiac Jim holiday story as well as whatever else comes my way for the coming months to end this year.

No need for comments here, so I am closing them. Just wanted to let you know why nothing has been updated for a bit, but I will get back to them. No worries. I know many are following those stories.
