I wanted to say something about writing

[cornerofmadness]

But eh, not sure anyone is listening. I DID however see salomesensei and Talon's novella come across my goodreads feed via Storm Moon Press. It looks really good. After the first taste of love. Good luck with it ladies.

Speaking of writing, if ANYONE here wants to do a blog hop to promote your book/novella/whatever, let me know. I'm in one and I'm supposed to pay it forward. Just PM me about it. It does NOT have to be erotica

It was stupid warm today so I put out my solar panel holiday lights and yule trimmings. I thought I had bought a second box of those lights but if I did they aren't in the decorations closet. I DID find more halloween crap that I knew I had. One of the new snowflakes didn't light but I might not have turned on the solar panel. I hear the kitty again. i think he's under my porch. I hope he can get out. He should. Animals have lived under there before.

My mouth is killing me. My TMJ is so bad (from me grinding my teeth all night) that for the entire weekend I haven't been able to open my mouth fully so I've had to pull my meals into itty bitty bits and stuff them in.

I did buy one of Kroger's prime select seasonal ice creams. Chai Tea Ginger chocolate cookie. I missed the word cookie (I don't like cookie/cone/cake bits in my ice cream) It's very tasty.

FInally got pissed off and called Dad for advice to fix my doors. I have a quarter to half inch gap all the way around both doors to my apt. I've been asking for help for years but I guess it's never going to happen and I'm going to have to fix it myself.

I finished another lecture today.It's about my only accomplishment. I have SO much to do. I'm going to be disappointing some students too. Their papers are due on tuesday. I offered to read them ahead of time and give direction. like a half dozen sent them TODAY. Oh bite me.

Back to my nano. I really wish i knew if it were working or not

At least you got some of them responding? That's good, right?

Yay for decorations. Yay for kitteh under the porch. At least he's relatively safe under there?

What'd dad say about the doors?

I've been lucky in that my TMJ is stress related and I don't appear to grind my teeth in my sleep, only when work is on the far edge of sucky (which, also luckily, hasn't been so lately).

I found Winter WoodChuck -- the clerk at Trader Joe's says they DID have the Autumn, but it sold out in seconds and they never got a second shipment (apparently they really mean it when they say "limited edition"). So I'll try one tomorrow.

Good luck on getting through the lectures, the students, and the Nano!

Do you have a Home Depot close to you? They should be able to tell/show you how to install weatherstripping.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I've never had TMJ this bad in years, not since my residency was in full swing. It's getting miserable.

Cool. it's a different taste, that winter one. And wow, I guess they do.

thanks. I'll need it but I realize I only have one more lecture to prep. WOW.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not really. It's about 50 miles away. Dad suggested that and told me what to do. I think when I go home I'll get it there and he can show me and then i'm going to give the damn bill to my landlord and tell him I'm taking it off my rent.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

better than half the time,yes

he should be safe and warmed from the house since it leaks like mad.

Yay for solar panel lights

make Tom do it (he still believes that landlords will do the work that you pay them for with your rent) then told me how to fix it (as if the other part of his brain realizes it will never happen)

Ha! I'm listening. I actually started on a story of yours that I had saved in my Kindle yesterday. I have to check and see if it's the one that I asked for in exchange for a review or not. hee hee. I know I have an email with it saved, but I don't remember if I already sent it to my Kindle or not. It may be a different story.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's good. If it's The Darkest Midnight in December, it's the right one

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's good.

Lucky little grey.

Those are cool. Probably wouldn't work at my place. I've got too much shade.

Yeah, make Tom do it in a perfect world.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i hope he's okay.

they're okay with shade. But they don't throw out much light and they're pricey (and I'm wondering how long the battery would run) To really do it up right it would cost too much (but myplace is small)

yeah tom has known it's an issue for years

I feel with you - I often trouble with broken or crooked stuff in my house and nobody is there who knows how to make it right.

Your cats reminded me a lot of mine, although my jealous one rather tends to annoy the other when he wants a special place she claimed. But sometimes he just stares at me with that same pleading look.

How is your NaNo going? There wasn't a word-counter with your last entry, I think.
Why do you think it might not be working?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah. i wouldn't whine so much about fixing it if I owned it but that IS what rent is supposed to cover.

snort, cats are strange creatures

I just broke 30k. I always end up thinking it's not working in the middle. But I do really wonder if this will be appropriate for the publisher since the point of view is scattered to people who aren't the three main love interest.

*nod nod nod* Have you heard anything more about any shelters in PA?

But you know me, I don't decorate for much of anything.

Exactly, and he hasn't done anything about it yet.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the no kills ONLY take animals from kill shelters

true

and he isn't gonna

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*SIIIIIGH* to pretty much everything.

I thought it was a bad earache for ages before I got a proper diagnosis.

It's good, I like it. I don't think I'll be able to get a second six pack, but you never know.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

mine has never felt like that until this year. It took me a while to realize that the ear ache was this (usually I get headaches)

we still ahve a six pack here
