Randomness
Feb. 8th, 2017 11:18 pmAt the beginning of the month I saw this on spiffikins blog and wanted to do it then never did because I'm just that good. Since all I have to talk about today is that I DID make it my circus after that person I was talking about was really ranting in my friend's post (at least it was a politic post for a change), I decided to do it today. I'll probably do one to catch up and then do the one for the actual day.
1. What I achieved in Jan. I made it through the death of two friends and one relative. I made it back to work. I finished revising Blood Red Roulette so yeah not much in the way of achievements but it occurred to me I never emptied 2016's good things jar, which was admittedly pretty sparse so here we go, 2016's good things in no particularly:
a. I don't have H. pylori or stomach ulcers or Chron's or cancer
b. The rainbow snippets community of FB led to book sales for Jana.
c.Sold a short story with Aaron and Rhys to the Pulse shooting charity anthology Love Wins
d. my local steampunk group is very accepting of my gay fiction (and one of them came out as a transgendered man, we have a transgendered female already)
e. I found an octopus tea pot! Used it with the steampunk group
f. sold my short story (steampunk) Corpse Dust to DSP's Once Upon a Time in the Old West
g. Mom got me a new laptop!
h. I have no nerve damage in either leg (but a shit ton of arthritis instead)
i.Someone listed me and my novel Kept Tears as their favorites
j. someone at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
celebrate_fma REALLY loved my writing.
k. I won a basket of books from the local library (mom stole the basket)
l. sold a poem to the Pulse shooting charity anthology
m. had a politics free Christmas
n. Once Upon a Time in the Old West is getting accolades all over.
o. my students have good research plans
8. Restaurants I frequent and what I order. I prefer non-chains. In Gallipolis I go to Tuscany's and I get the pepperoni roll. In Rio Grande I go to Jiminetti's and get the same thing. I also go to Zak & Scotty's and get a gyro. In Jackson I like El Toro and get either the enchilada cameron (spicy shrimp) or the chile rellenos. I also go to Cardos pizza and get the pepperoni supreme (getting the idea I like pepperoni?). I love Arch and Eddie's and I get the chicken tenders or the firecracker shrimp or the Original Archie burger (a bacon cheese burger with a fried egg and onion straws on it because I have NO regard for my health). In Athens I like the China Panda and get scallion pancakes, hot and sour soup and general Tso's tofu or I go to Habibi's and get a gyro. I love the Donkey coffee shop there too.
No snow yet. Yesterday it was 65. It was so warm last night my apt never cooled down from 69 degrees. Tonight it rained and now it's supposed to be 27 and snowing and then up to 65 again in the weekend. Really mother nature??
