Almost all packed away

[cornerofmadness]

Other than the tree and the mantle we have all of Christmas taken down. It still needs to be put away but it's almost done. I need the bags back we used to transport it all because I need to start packing up my room to go back home.

If I go back home....it won't be too bad (in theory) in the Pittsburgh area on Monday (but I'm also dubious about them moving my uncle to the home if it snows like it's supposed to) but back home it's going to get hit hard (again in theory. how many times have I prepared for the worse and had nothing happen much but this time this storm is so big, it seems like it'll be nasty)

In other news I keep forgetting to put up these 2024 writing totals so here they are

Original Fiction - 59,348 words which did not make me happy. However, I did finish the 1980s monster hunter novel and I'm about 6 chapters into editing it. That does make me happy. I had a decent publishing year in 2024. Still need to get a few beta readers for this.

Fan fiction - 377,537 words which is great on one hand and annoying on the other because it means fanfic is still more motivating to me than my own stories which does not make me happy. I need to balance this better.

Speaking of annoying the dexcom G7 glucose monitor's app is coming up incompatible with my phone (fair it's crap) and my 18 month old Android tablet as well. ARGH. (I need to check. Maybe I bought an older style tablet). There is a device that they sent with this so I can use it (will try tomorrow) but that means I have to carry yet another device. head desk.

Good luck with the snow and your glucose levels.

Also, good luck editing your novel.

I was watching TWC last night (I like the towing shows, lol) and they half-screened it with the weather report. That storm looked huge! It extended from Kansas to D.C.! It looked like lots of snow and ice. I hope you're able to travel safely.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks yeah this storm is like 1500 miles long.

Hey, you can at least feel better than me!

I doubt I wrote any original fiction this year and a mere 906 words of fan fiction. XD;

[cornerofmadness]

Oh dear. You did do a lot of art though so that's something

[suzume]

That's true.

Congrats on all your writing that is really good on top of everything else you have to do.

The storm looks bad. Drive safely and lets us know when you get home.

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks. Yeah it was a good writing year.

Right now I'm not even attempting going back. Might have to miss the big faculty meeting

Hey! You are diabetic too??? :o I have the Libre system, which is a royal pain in the bum, but... *thinks* Ok.. nvm.

[cornerofmadness]

Yeah I've been diabetic for decades and I wanted more info (like right now I can't get below 200 and I have no idea why based on diet) I hope this will give me that info

[ghostpuppet]

I have a Libre sensor, and while they are ok, they are a pain in the bum. :( They tend to fall off alot.

[cornerofmadness]

that's what I'm worried about. No my real worry is being allergic to the glue

[ghostpuppet]

You mean the Skintac? I'm not allergic, but I can see where you are coming from.

[cornerofmadness]

yeah that. I'm allergic to a lot of them

[ghostpuppet]

Do find that Skintac gets very itchy at times??

[cornerofmadness]

This stuff is irritating for a lot of people
