And I am grateful. We did get about 3 more inches of snow.
I'm also grateful that my online teaching platform decided today that my password expired and not last week when I was getting it all together. My password is NOT expired (as I'm also in my email and they're on the same password as it's one big thing) so I'm not grateful for whatever fresh hell this is.
Speaking of fresh hells, something is trying to claw its way into my kitchen, probably a raccoon from the sounds of it. If I ever buy a house it will not have a crawl space.
More gratefulness - that I found an old copy of the 1980s monster hunter novel in a folder form 2023 because somehow when I was reordering things last year and working in some interludes with the baddies, I a) duplicated one chapter and one interlude (that I'm aware of. I've only edited up to ch 10 so far) b) when I did that I erased chapter eight entirely. c) the older version had chapter eight thankfully
I have submitted my first story of the year. That makes me happy.
Once again i forgot to do

thefridayfive on friday so here they are now.
1. If you could go back and relive one moment or day from your life, without changing anything, what would you re-experience? Oh my that's a hard one isn't it? My medical school graduation ranks up there. getting to touch the neolithic sites in Wales, crossing off bucketlist items like Las Vegas, The Tower of London and Highgate Cemetery
2. If you could witness a moment in history, again without changing anything, what would you want to see? Hmm too many to choose from. I'd like to have been to a real speakeasy. Maybe walk the vias in Rome, heck I'd like to see the moonlanding (I did see it but I was 2 but I remember my family in my grandmother's living room which no one believes me in spite of me accurately describing it)
3. If you could talk to a younger version of yourself, what age would you visit and what message would you give? 19 and I would tell me to apply to more medical schools, to insure your frakking hands, don't give up so easily.
4. If you could choose one moment that would be guaranteed to happen in your future, what would it be and when would it happen? My novel on the bestseller list and let's say 5 years from now
5. Pretend you left a time capsule for yourself 5, 10, 15, 20 or more years ago. You just opened it. What three things from your past are you now holding and what age were you when you buried them? I don't have to pretend I just cleaned out a closet and found three boxes in there from 20 years ago when I first moved here (so age 37) in it was the lawsuit against me for my student loans after I was injured, MY lawsuit against the insurance company over the hand injury, patient notes and my first contract here at the university. This was a sucky time capsule. I cried for days.
