Please bear with me as I work on the conclusion of Bitter Frost. I am not sure when I will post the next chapter. Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow. It will depend on how much I can get done on it.

I had some days off from work so I am a bit swamped right now, though I do intend to write at lunch.

I am fasting today so I am grumpy!

Once Bitter Frost is finished (I have it listed as 3 more chapters but if I can get it done in 2, I will), I will probably update The Swap, before moving on to The Ties That Bind. But that is in the distant future right at the moment.

Coming up this Saturday is Aria’s 4th birthday party (friend’s grand niece), so we will be going to that. I am very underthrilled, but you do what you have to do, I guess.

It’s warm today. I mean seriously warm. Like 90. Sigh. Guess our cold weather and rain is done now. Supposed to be hit by severe wind tomorrow too.

No movie this week or next but after that I should get back into it. I have lots to watch at home, so it’s fine.

Ramblings March 25 2019

The Flash is done (very short, I am afraid) and scheduled.

Best Friends is done. And yay. Part 2 will debut in the coming months.

As I looked at my spreadsheet of concluded stories, I saw that I am up to 135 completed. This makes me very happy, because it means I have way more done than hanging out there. So go me!

This is going to be an emotionally challenging week for me as M leaves for his visit to his aunt’s Friday morning. It’s for a week and I’ll survive, but you know. I am like a weepy Jim over parting with Spock.

Next up I hope is the update for Bitter Frost. I am looking to get that one done soon as it’s time to get the ball rolling on the conclusion and Spock being reunited with his captain. Then um, likely The Swap, Transfer Request and Maybe, Probably.

Sunday night we had dinner with the cousin at Corner Bakery. Was nice enough to sit outside.

In the continuing saga for my purchase with Paramount Movies, I was able to transfer the digital copies of all three to VuDu and Fandango. Fine. Of course I have hard copies of all three, so woopiefuckingdo. But I had also purchased digital Bonus Features for all three movies. This has disappeared off the face of the earth. Not on Vudu, not on Fandango. Ultraviolet does not list them. Only place that does is Paramount. I have now emailed them twice. Nothing. Emailed Ultraviolet. Expect to hear nothing. Basically I am being screwed out of stuff I paid for. It sucks. Paramount is EVIL.

St Patrick’s Day Ramblings 03/17/2019

Well. This week I really plan on doing the next chapter of My Heart’s a Virgin. That is absolutely next. Then another chapter, maybe two to conclude Best Friends. But at least one.

After that, we shall see what I want to work on. I’ll need a flash for Friday. There’s one coming for Kris on Tuesday too. That one is written.

Today I have laundry and eating and um, well, whatever, I guess. HA HA

I really really want to post new stuff. I am SO resisting. But it’s hard. Not going to lie.

Rambling for the first of March

A lovely artist has been doing some illustrations for some of my stories and her latest one is for Didn’t We Almost Have it All, please, go and check it out, Artwork.

Coming up this first week in March is another chapter of Maybe, Probably. Also the next chapters for When I Loved You, Didn’t We Almost Have It All, and The Experiment (as you know I am looking to wrap this one up soon). Also a new Flash. Don’t know what yet, but I am sure I will surprise both myself and you.

Today I had off for a bunch of errands I had to do and to cuddle with Luna, who has become so spoiled and needy, you wouldn’t believe it. I returned some shoes I had ordered online that didn’t work for me, went to the grocery store, another grocery store and the PetSmart for food for Luna. While I was there I went to the cat adoptions. They were behind glass but there were two teenager cats in there with an employee and when I peeked in at them their eyes got super big. HA HA. Poor kitties.

I have had too much coffee I think because I am jittery and emotional. It’s weird. I think I had something of a meltdown on social media. Oh well. I think it will be best for me to stay away a couple of days, for the most part. I did unfollow someone today on there because I couldn’t even remember why I was still following her in the first place, HA.

Supposed to rain all weekend. I am ready for SUNNY SPRING.

Kris’s birthday is this month so I need to write her a flash. Please note, I will take requests for Birthday Flashes but you MUST remind me well in advance when your birthday is. I should remember. I absolutely agree. But I don’t. So if you want something tell me ahead of time and what you’d like in it. For Kris, I know she likes hurt/comfort so that is what she will get.

Grumpy Luna Says Hi

Okay so had a pretty lazy weekend. Didn’t write much, I am sorry to say. You saw what I wrote on The Love of a Lifetime, and other than a single paragraph on Where Do People Like Us Float, that was it man. I opened The Experiment and closed it again.

So, yeah, first up this week will be a chapter of The Experiment, hopefully. I am also going to try to finish Revealing, but if not, you might get another Flash with Surak. Also, up this week is the next chapter of Bitter Frost. When last we left our heroes the Joker had the caped crusaders over a vat of boiling oil. Oh sorry, lapsed into the Batman and Robin 60s television show. Jim had discovered Spock has green blood.

We finally saw the sun again this week though it remains cold for us. Rained some more on Friday though. We’re looking at 50s during the day and 30s at night for the next week or so.

My special dinner turned out great. M has a cold though so no sexy times, damn it.

That’s about it for now. Don’t think there’s anything at the movies we want to see but we have a lot of shows and stuff to catch up on at home, so we shall see!

If you can stand another post from me, here it is!

Of course today I posted a short story called Always Shall Be on AO3. Most of you have already read it. I was contacted on tumblr last night by a reader who follows me there and discovered my secret identity (kidding). Anyway, she asked if I would write something to go with her Spirk art and I agreed. Fortunately she was okay with just a short piece because I just don’t have time for long requests right now.

I finished the next chapter of All I Ever Wanted and I will post that tomorrow to give anyone who wants to read Always Shall Be a chance to focus on that. I’ll probably add the other Valentine story I did to my one-shot collection either tonight or tomorrow as well. The one with the Vulcan card. I swear I can’t even remember what I called it anymore. Ugh, Anyway, I posted it here last Friday!

Long time followers know that me and M aren’t huge huge on V Day. I got him a small present (candy) and he’s making me dinner. But he’s not making it until Friday because we have our WW meeting tomorrow. I requested chicken and mushroom pie (it’s an English thing made with puff pastry) and mashed potatoes. He is also going to make me Pot Au Creme (some fancy creamy custardy lovebird dessert, ha)

I got my one-shot done for Friday and it’s super dupery cute if I do say so myself. Hope you guys will like it.

I may get some garage cleaning done this weekend. We shall see. It’s supposed to rain through Friday and again possibly Sunday, so it’s a small window of opportunity there. We’ve had a rainy season so far. And COLD for us. We’ve had more fires in our fireplace (M’s mistake on NY’s notwithstanding) this year than we’ve had in the last ten, I swear. Tonight I am off to Target and will likely buy a couple more logs.

And that is definitely it for now (well until Friday obviously)

Rambles February 02, 2019

Wow did I update a lot this week or what!

I updated My Devotion, The Mysterious One, The Sight, Nine Lives, and finished Hello Darkness, My Old Friend. Also a flash fic.

Coming up this week will be another chapter of The Experiment, When I Loved You, Didn’t We Almost Have It All and another Flash. Hopefully it will be the last part of Revealing but if not I’ll get something up.

This past Saturday was my second great niece’s first birthday party. We had to build an ark to get there but we made it. I was lucky that they changed the location to a closer place. An Italian restaurant in Los Feliz (fun fact, Chris P lives there, no not at the restaurant, and no I didn’t see him).

Another fun-filled work week is ahead of me (and some more rain too), but at least I have a three day weekend next week as I took the 11th off just for the hell of it. We also booked M’s trip to Idaho to see his aunt who’s husband passed away just a few days before Christmas. He’ll be going the first week of April (her birthday is that week too).

I saw Phil did NOT see his shadow so Spring is coming. Yay. LOL. He’s a cutie. Kris, you should get one of HIM. HA HA

Ramblings for 01/28/2019

Today I plan on working on the final part of Revealing so I have plenty of time to have it done for Friday. I’ll work on it until it is done.

After that, I should be working on Hello Darkness and Nine Lives. I’ll be honest, I want to delete Hello Darkness and forget finishing it. I am struggling against doing it, but yeah. Not really sure what and why I am writing it or doing with it and it has gone in a direction I didn’t really want to take it. So…meh. Anyway I will update what I can for sure.

Anyway, this week…is another full week at work. It’s supposed to be warmish too. Sorry all your snowy, cold people. Tuesday I am going to see Bohemian Rhapsody because I have been putting it off for weeks, ha ha, and I finally agreed to go because M wants to see it. Friday we are going out with the cousin for Mexican food, and Saturday the 2nd is my great niece’s (Paige) first birthday party. Lots of plans, lots.

So, yeah. Hopefully I can find some normalcy there. You know I don’t do well without some sense of normalcy.

So anyway, today’s picture is from an awards show on Sunday. At least I don’t have to go to those! HA

Rambling of the Week, January 21, 2019

Pausing in my holiday off to write this. Afterwards, I think I’m going to do a bit of cleaning in my bedroom.

So far each day since I put my FIT-BIT on I have reached my goal of 10,000 steps. Pretty cool.

Tried to see the Super Blood Wolf Moon last night but it was too cloudy so we saw nothing, Ah well. I’ve seen pictures today.

Got an update for The Experiment and Didn’t We Almost Have it All up. Have not written the next part of the Flash yet but I still have a few days.

I’d like to get up the next chapter of The Ties That Bind this week too.

Also, for The Experiment, I’d like to ask for opinions. Are you all enjoying it for me to keep chapters going for a little while or is it time to end it? I admit I am enjoying this particular version but if others think it has run its course, I will find a way to wrap it up.

We are going to try to see The Mule again Tuesday. We couldn’t get in last week, so tomorrow we will try again, sigh. That’s about it for now. Thanks for listening.
