Paczi!

[cornerofmadness]

today was sort of just a blah gray day. I woke up this morning and thought hmmm only slept 6 hours.I'm tired. So i set the nap function for another hour then did something I almost never do. Once the alarm went off an hour later I turned it off and fell back asleep before I could get out of bed.

Frankly I could have slept all day. I was so tired. Mostly I lay on the couch watching TV or on the computer pretending I can write. I did manage to drag myself to Krogers, hence my title. THey have in Paczi for the upcoming Lenten holiday. I dunno. All I know is they're some kind of Polish donut and that I wanted them and I bought them. It's once a year so diet and diabetes be damned.

The highlight of my day has been the response to the original writing post. Thanks guys.

I have in fact FINISHED 12 out of 13 Springkink stories (thanks to my betas), and I did get something going for FMA bigbang. Saiyuki is languishing. pouts. I should finish #13 tonight. Havoc just needs to have sex and I'm done. He's puttering around.





It's that SAME house but just in Centerville this time. I swear they must have bought them all from Sears but I don't think Sears was selling houses in the 1890's but i could be wrong. Often there are horses wandering through this one but none the day I was there


ETA - here are a couple of writing links

This is the most I can find, at the moment on when Sears sold houses

http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/1908-1914.htm

But I am POSITIVE they were selling them sooner than the 1900s.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

see i don't believe they were

Well I'm an Old West Reenactor, so I'm going to do some more digging to find out.

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

AH HA! I did find something...but it wasn't Sears!

"In 1908, Barker purchased a small factory and the equipment to manufacture small, portable houses in Los Angeles. A native New Englander, he was experienced in lumber manufacturing and milling and was probably well aware of companies like E. F. Hodgson, which began building and selling portable houses in the 1890s in Dover, Massachusetts."

I think you should post those links in your writing column, too. :D Just saying.

Sometimes, sleeping is what will help your body. I know when I want to sleep that much, I'z sickly.

Of course, the house could've been made by the same builder.

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Which one of us are you suggesting posting the links? Me?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

COM.

[marynachaotica.livejournal.com]

Ah okay. Was a bit confuzzled there.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i would have but that was so much earlier in the day (i have such faith in our willingness to scroll back)

I think i could have been sickly. I was COLD last night as in wrap my hands in the covers cold.

well yes but there is definitely a pattern to them

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Next week. :D

Sickly is going around. My throat's been sore for a week, just a low-grade pain.

*nod nod*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i could, should have more by then given how many writing twitters i follow

i feel okay now but i could have slept most of the day

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I think the iron pills I'm taking are helping me with not wanting to sleep the day away any more.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they usally do if you're anemic

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm not that any more, then.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

possible

God I hate when people allow houses to fall to ruin. Even if it is an old Sear's kit house. I doubt the crappy track houses of today will stand even half as long as these have.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you're really gonna hate where i live. so many abandoned houses. hell two around me were abandoned while i've been here with like NO attempt to sell them. i have no idea why.
