I need more time.
May. 14th, 2025 10:06 pmIt's amazing what a week can do. I used to get done one week earlier than we do. So I only have about 10 days between graduation and going to my conference. I need that week. Today I spent it working on a chapter by chapter outline for the anatomy class. It's like 10 pages long and it's barely there as far as details but enough for tomorrow (and a good start for this paperwork I need to do). I did not think t his would eat up most of my day but it did.
I did go meet my friend MK down at the mexican restaurant. I barely eat, did manage the burrito so yes I am still so nauseous. Fun times. I am not taking this shot again next week b ecause of the conference. Maybe the week after that. Maybe. I might just have to admit I will never be able to tolerate this class of drug (literally the dinner from the night before was still bothering me 15 hours later so it's not just slowing my stomach. I think it's killing it dead.
But I did get a good laugh today. The
intoabar matches came out today and I got exactly the same one as last year but I don't even care. I wanted to do a sequel to it and now's here my chance. My only problem is Niffty is rough to write. If you want to see my first story it's right here To Travel is to Live
What I Just Finished Reading:
Trouble the Water by Wendy Vogel. I found it compelling but also it has HARD subject matter (rape/murder of disabled children, cult, religious trauma, internalized and externalized homophobia, hate crimes, child abuse, domestic violence)
Boston Metaphysical Society vol 2 - actually this worked better as a series of short stories than it did as the long arc
What I am Currently Reading:
Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. I know a lot of friends love this. It's taken me another week to go 40 pages, something I can usually do in a half hour.
We Can Never Leave - H.E. Edgmon an arc of a horror/rural fantasy thing, trauma and cult survivors are a huge deal in this (and in the life of the author)
Just received the flipside, a graphic novel I won from GR.
What I Plan to Read Next:
I bumped these two back: Under This Red Rock
Of Manners and Murder - a historical mystery
and speaking of GR wins, I have 3 more lying around that I need to get moving on
