A week of finding things

It started a couple days ago when mom found my pink and white striped socks hidden under my bed back home. I must have dropped them doing laundry.

Then mom called and said I found that tiny glass jar you got at Christmas and I was so happy. You see, when I came down last thursday, I moved stuff from the car with my wagon and on a return trip to the car I saw a small jewelry box upside down in the snow. It was the one that contained that glass jar. silvrethorn had gathered bits of the holy/cool sites they saw in Scotland and put them in that jar. I was heartbroken. I couldn't see where in the snow it sank (no holes) I thought it must have rolled into a drift and I'd never recover it until the melt and it would be too late for something that delicate. So yes it had fallen out of the bag but it was under my closet door back home.

Then my SiL emails me with a picture. Is THIS the charm you lost last summer? Yes it was! I had lost my Hunter/Willow charm when I was housesitting for them in June. I thought it had fallen off in Leonardo's coffee shop. I'd even gone back to look for it there but instead it had fallen into my brother's recliner.

Today was annoying AF but it had a bright lining I'll deal with that last. I have to get that two in 1 washer. It's getting too hard to walk my laundry to the laundromat in the ice. I also nearly fell on the lake of ice in front of the dumpster (betting I'm canceling on monday)

I had received an email from Express Scripts (the online pharmacy Med Mutual insists I use) you must approve the charge because it's over 500$ but when you follow the link my only option was to cancel the med. Blood boiling, I try their chat (because I like to keep record of the idiocy I'm told during these things) but after a half hour it told me to go away and try again another day. Okay then. I call instead. The person who answered is obviously doing this out of their house and she puts me on hold and then eventually it hangs up.

I'm now ripping and I call again a little later. I get a much more helpful woman (not answering from home I don't think) The problem isn't the cost. It's because it's a 30 day RX instead of a 90 day and they can't be sure my insurance will okay that. Now I go off (but remain calm on the phone. It's not her fault) excuse me, but that 30 day supply was just fucking fine in December (when my insurance would have basically paid two months if I had gotten the 90 day supply that otherwise wouldn't be cover). I was forced to get that 90 day one if you recall but then they filled the 30 day.

I said how can it be good one month when they have to pay but when I have to pay must I get the 90 day supply? If I have to do that I won't be getting it because it's 1800$. Once I said that shockingly I was allowed to get 30 days (let's see if it happens)

By the time I fought all through this, it was late before I put together my computer. The monitor was harder than I thought. Had to find my Phillips screwdriver but it's together. It works. I need to download Microsoft office from work (I get work deals i.e. free) but microsoft insisted I didn't know my password but got it fixed. Then my social media doesn't think I know my password and I'm sitting there with my laptop copying the password and it goes 'you changed that a year ago.' oh no I fucking didn't. screw this I'll deal with it tomorrow.

Put out those mouse traps. One doesn't work. Like at all. You can barely get it to set and the moment it touches a surface it goes off. Where is that Walmart receipt?




But that bright lining? Check the next post! I decided not to put it in the whining post

So that Bright lining

fandomtrees revealed today. I got two stories. One has something weird going on with the coding (It's locked) so I'll share that another day. I did have a surprise, no icons. Well I did say no icons to everything but Hazbin so I was thrilled to get the stories. Here's one of them

Stress macrons Hazbin Hotel. It's super cute and I don't know if they went and looked at my stuff or if it's a coincidence but I write a lot of Hazbin cooking stories (as this is not one of my prompt suggestions. I did say anything with the characters was fine by me) this is a cooking story. Loved it. Sir Pentious gets to shine.

I wrote several stories and yes I am going to share them right now too.


Trivia Night Death in Paradise - Summary Camille wants Richard to feel more at home on the island and with his new team and enlists their help along with her mother’s. (for sysann)



Kaiju Love Hazbin Hotel -Summary: Valentino isn’t thrilled with Vox’s choice of movies but his ideas for a night out on the town prove they have more in common than they don’t and Vox is there for it. (for writtenwordsaloud)


No Such Thing as Ghosts Murder, She Wrote - Summary - When Eve begs Jessica to help investigate a historic property she’s preparing to sell as a B&B, claiming there are ghosts, Jess almost says no. Eve seems so worried, Jessica says yes. If nothing else, it might be a good plot bunny for her. (for spikedluv)


Hidden in the Pages Grimm - Summary - Rosalee and Monroe think they’ve found an important clue in the family journals. Nick can only hope they’re right. (for trobadora)


Troubled Waters Doctor Who - Summary Something is threatening the Roman bathes in Caerleon, Wales so the Ponds go to investigate while the Doctor is out taking Rory’s father sightseeing. (for 16jarrah)


Haunted Road Trip Prodigal Son - Summary - Malcolm and Edrisa set off on a road trip to check out an unusual unsolved case that’s interested the Killabustas and they get far more than they were expecting. (for badritual)

I also had a few other fills that weren't fiction

Also I have this meme from kingstoken which was the one (or very similar) to the one I wanted to do at New Year's but couldn't find it in my archive. I love this one.

Personal favorite from this year: Hope Can Be a Cruel Gift Hazbin Hotel I am incredibly proud of this one. In just a matter of months I wrote an entire novel in a brand new to me fandom that was well received and people want more. I plan for more.

Honorable Mention: In those same nine months I wrote multiple Hazbin series so I'm linking them all.

Surviving Horror Movies This was just silly (and sad) with Angel wanting to survive a horror movie (as he's making an erotic horror movie)

Fallen I am proud of this one following Angel from the living world, his death, meeting Val and finally to the hotel (I do need to fix a name in the first two stories)

All That Glitters Overlord Husk AU Everyone has a Husker Overlord AU, it's a right of passage. I'm starting the next story in line for this.



The Spider Brothers Overlords AU Angel can be more violent than a lot of fans give him credit (he's also smarter than they think) This AU is giving me a chance to explore that.
