Got heat

The heat was repaired today (and out of spite it went up to 80 degrees). But at least it's done...AGAIN. Here's hoping this is the last time this is needed.

One of those high stress days and I broke down and bought frosted mini-wheats which of course I'm not supposed to eat but I love them out of the box as a snack. After this last week I deserve them. Still have no idea of all my stuff got ruined or not. Trying to buy a plane ticket to FL now.

DID go to a local author's signing. Got a book by Victoria Houston, Dead Hot Mama, she writes mysteries about this area so that could be fun. Interesting to talk to but not very helpful (i've been to enough author signings to notice that, they never want to talk about how to break in which I guess is them defending their small market)

Got Transitive Nightfall of Diamonds revamped and all done. So if you want to read a Pre-Dale Ripper story (with Ethan and Deirdre too) give it a try.

AND I did get my Lindsey ficathon story done too. Thanks toblaar_rosir  for betaing it. I need to go through and flesh it out and it'll be ready.

AND for those of you in the WIP ficathon,you've got about two weeks left. OUCH. Yeah, I know...

That Birthday story

Well if you ever wanted to see what a story of mine looks like in rough draft stage, here you go (and not to mention the spell checker crapped out totally. I had to do it by hand and I'm sure to have missed something)

This is just one chapter of a longer thing I'm writing for crazygirl mary's CD lyric challenge where you use all the lyrics of one CD. I'm doing The Cure's Distingeration cd.  The story is tentatively titled Leaning on the Edge of E and begins with the battle with Black Thorn and this is a MUCH later chapter. All you really need to know is no one died in the battle but Connor (who disobeyed Angel's orders to stay away) and Gunn were badly hurt. After Connor recovers he and Angel (and occasionally Spike and Illyria who are traveling together), go on a soul-searching trip across the globe, learning what it is to be father and son. I think you can figure out the rest from here.

I started this chapter for Maren but you'd know that neither Buffy nor Angel wanted to cooperate and be romantic. They hate doing that for me. Sigh. Sorry it didn't turn out as planned. Oh and since this chapter is already 11 pages long I'm assuming the Halloween party (which will be done as part of my OWN challenge) will be a seperate chapter. As a teaser Connor and Faith are dressing as Captain Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann

Leaning on the Edge of E - Chapter Same Deep Water as You.

Let me know what you think and as always with my WIP's I'm open to suggestion.

headachy

Yuck. The sonic bombs I've been lobbing into the attic seem to make the raccoon snicker at me but it's giving me a migraine...or maybe that's working up a lecture on the endocrine system short enough to last ONE period.

couple that with the hemorraghic arthritis in my right hand right now...(i.e. I'm bleeding into the joints of my fourth and fifth fingers, it's part of the ehlers-danlos syndrome that's part of my genetic make up) It's a very depressing day.

This is when I realized that the new garage bags I bought will hold a human body if it's curled up...

I'm off for a hike since it's lovely out. Don't worry. I'm not heading into the woods. I'm going down East Stella Lake Road heading west

Telling Secrets

Let's see if I can possibly get these to cut without losing all my formatting. I'm not sure what's up with that lately. All are PG-13 and as always, the characters aren't mine.
