So that orange cat is still out there

He lept in my car as I was getting my bonsais out of it. I figured I might as well get them now (they're coming home with me too because no one is in the office to water them and our greenhouse is not to be trusted). He is friendly, tattier than I thought when I fetched him out. Sigh. I do think though that he's some neighbor's cat down off the hill for that female. If not he'll make cat # 35 (that's right I've rescued 34 freaking cats and 4 dogs since I've been in this place)

I've been cleaning. Which means my dust allergies are up and they are BAD. My entire body feels like it's covered with fire ants and my eyes are swollen half shut. I did, however, find all the gifts from Wales that I had squirrelled away.

The geminids meteor shower is tonight.You know I can't pass on a shower from my star sign!


One last call for fandom_stocking? Is no one doing it? Or no one want me?

Speaking of writing things I have to do

Fandom - fma_giftexchange and fma big bang. At least I've started, right?

Original erotic - OMG so much I could be doing. Waiting on edits for the scarred soldier novel, working on finishing the nano novel Soldiers of the SUn, should start working again on my vampires in Vegas thing (or just let it simmer until I'm back there in may...), also I would like to start working on the story with my demon boy or the pure fantasy one. Thoughts?

Original Non erotic - Oh for pete's sake, let me just finish Makai's story, I've been trying all year, getting back into my dieselpunk story (finally) and maybe my fantasy nano from last year. All these poor poor abandoned nano novels! I think I've been doing this for 8 years and have only finished one.... Bad CoM bad


ETA - I sat out there for a half hour (who cares if it's in the 20s). I saw no less than a dozen shooting stars. Most were the briefest of flickers but two had beautiful streaking tails. If you want to know one of my top ten reasons for wanting to live in the country - stargazing.

100 Things # 14

{Take the 100 Things challenge: 100 (mostly diabetic) recipes!}

Thanks to evil_little_dog I went through my recipe banks for chocolate recipes (for fandom_stocking) and thought you might like to see some of them because of the holidays.

This one is pretty diabetic friendly (the sugar can be substituted with splenda, leaving you only with what's in the fruit and chocolate). It's pretty much a cheesecake without crust.
