weight off - week 20 + dreams

Still on the plateau? How is everyone else doing?

Honestly, no recipes, no anything else this time. I'm depressed and I have a writing project due in a.s.a.p. so here have a dream to scare the hungry right out of you.

I dreamt I was in my grandmother's bedroom, changing tops. I suddenly hear someone in the house and I turn to shut the door but this old lady in her Sunday finest is there, one of those suit dressed, gray hair up in a bun with a hat. She looks embarrassed to find me topless (and there is no door on the hinges) but she insists on speaking to my grandmother. I keep telling her that my grandmother isn't here any more. It's my house now.

Things blur out a bit and mom and dad are their now. I can't tell if mom and dad brought these two parrots back from Grandma's new place or if the old lady brought them. They open up one of grandma's bedroom closets and put the parrots in with two other emerald green ones. The two new ones were pretty, green as well with mini-peacock tails. There were a few budgies in the cage and I was saying this is too many birds. Mom opens another closet (which doesn't exist in this room, the house isn't this big.) and inside there's a huge bird cage the size of the closet. 'you'll have to clean this out.' I agree pointing out there is a dead parrot in the other cage from overcrowding. I start taking out the paper in the new cage and it begins to move. Under the paper are four pigs, two piglets that are black and pinkish and two adults one black and one pig pink. We're all like how the hell did the pigs get here. Is she homesteading or what? then I woke up.

yeah I'm not even going to try to explain this one

Writerly Ways

really almost nothing to say this week. Not truly in the mood but I did want to give a big thank you to evil_little_dog, bob_fish, seatbeltdrivein & hierath for volunteering to read the still unname Space Pirates (might just title it with the ship's name Ghost of Jupiter)

I truly appreciate your help. No,I don't know where a comma goes and I DO know that chimerae is plural of chimera but for the life of me why I didn't USE it (or in my FMA stories for that matter) I have no idea. Bad scientist.

I'll ready to send it soon.

Well I broke the quarter mark...remarkably behind time. sigh.

kinda blue

and unlike the Miles Davis session it is neither hot nor great. Sigh. Mom told me to stay here til thursday and with as little as I've got done I might have to. She's like leave it, I'll do it. I can't trust her not to throw out my stuff when she cleans so no dice but it hurts to move stuff around.

Hurts worse today because I fell getting out of the tub yesterday and slammed the bad shoulder into the wall full force. I didn't think I did much damage but my whole tricpes hurts which is a new pain. Hopefully just a bruise.

It's getting too hot for me to sleep. I sleep worth shitin the summer so we're already getting there. Today was just gross, in the 90's both temp and humidity. If I wanted that I'd head south.

Watched last night's Dr. Who. Wasn't thrilled.

tried to meditate today. Soul wouldn't leave me be but was content to just sit on me during. He's at least light. All the food Soul eats makes Kanda fatter.

enemytosleep wanted me to tell my flist that they could use a few more Roy/Maes prompts at fma_slashfest and between her, Seatbelt and Bay115 they they know i can't resis and will eventually give in to their wicked machinations.
