Friday the Thirteenth

These are usually good but weird days for me and yesterday was no different. It started off with a 100 point drop in blood sugar to a nice normal range. I got a ton of stuff up on my faculty web page and it was 70 degrees (21 for teh rest of the world). It was gorgeous. I played with the outdoor cats. I got some movies from the library including an old favorite of mine The Name of the Rose

Then it began to rain. The outdoor cats cries all night for me to let them in (I'm not allowed and I have no facilities for the poor things) Then it started snowing. Yes, it went from 70 and shorts to me needing snow boots.

Phone conversations with my parents went like this.
Dad: how you doing tonight?
ME: better than yesterday which is the long night.
Dad: so you get done at 9pm right?
Me: no dad that was last semester. I'm done at 2:20
Dad: when do you start?
ME: 8:30
Dad: pause...you get paid for this?

I then proceed to tell him about a dream I had that morphed from me being with the guys from Numb3rs to him mom and a passle of teens being with me in a strange hotel that we were fleeing from but he was on Canadian Crutches because of his leg injuries (?? don't ask, Dad's fine). We managed to get outside but he fell down and the zombies got him. Mom was trying to go back for him but I wouldn't let her. I kept screaming get in the SUV and drive. It's too late. Meanwhile the zombies are folding and spindling Dad.
Dad: so, now I know where your loyalties lie
Me: yep Dad, when the zombies come and you fall down I am SO not rescuing you.

he hands me off to mom
Mom: so you cleaning the apt. this weekend.
Me: yes I am. I have three days.
Mom: Why?
Me: I'm off on MLK day
Mom: You get paid for this?

New Series, First Fic

At long last I've got up the first story for a multi-authored series called Acquainted with the Night ( acquaintednight ) Thanks to all my fellow authors there for their help in getting this out and I hope to see some of their stories soon and thanks to mzzgoddessblue for the banner art. In a nut shell, this starts immediately post NFA and is a BtVS/AtS crossover. Mistrusting, mending bridges, new dangers will be looked at through many lenses. I hope you enjoy and if you're interested in the series from the creative end, let me know.
