So, between the tooth of DOOOOOM (which I pulled yesterday), and my crazy work schedule that I’m adjusting to, it’s been a looooooong couple of weeks!

::takes daft one’s car to be inspected::

Daft one (calls on cell phone): How’s the car?

BW: Almost done, but babe, they need to replace the muffler. It’s all banged up and loose, like you backed into something, or someone backed into you…

Daft one: Oh, yeah. I backed into something.

BW: 

This is why I love our mechanic, who takes the daft one in stride.

Last week we had new doors fitted, and since then I keep getting locked out of my house. Yesterday, I was out there for over half an hour, dogs and shopping in tow, because my key wouldn’t work. Eventually went around the neighbours, who sent her bloke around who couldn’t get the key to work either, until all of sudden, it decided to release the catch. Unfortunately, he closed the door to try it again, and we were locked out for another ten minutes. So today I’ve had the council back to say the keys won’t work (because my mother has had trouble too), and they all work this morning! It’s astonishing how people are disinclined to believe you when you explain what happened, as if you’re a moron or something who doesn’t know how to work a catch. I swear to God… *growls* To get them to do anything, I’ve had to say that I can’t leave the house for fear of not getting back in, which is perfectly true. FFS!!! I feel like screaming.

That moment when you go searching for explicit yaoi manga to read because you’ve developed a sudden addiction, and end up on a threatening webpage, then have to allow AVG to remotely access your machine that’s full of dark slash stories, and are hoping they won’t notice. Frightening. I have learned my lesson. Mostly. At least my internet history was all google searches about “what to do when AVG stops working”

So I guess my lucky streak continues… I just got offered a contract to publish Falling for Him!!! Off to celebrate with a bottle of wine!

Currently writing extremely drunk-pretending-to-be-an-adolescent!Thranduil… and naughty!Elrond... *smirks* I might end up being the only person who likes this. *writes it anyway*

Well, Mom’s home from her visit to the UK, and the daft one’s old boss passed away, so I get to go to a wake tonight. 

I owe so many people reads and reviews… I’ll catch up, I promise!

I seem to have been temporarily taken hostage by Ai no Kusabi… wow...

double shifts SUCK!!!!!!! Glad I don’t go back until this afternoon...

Today’s upgrade went MUCH better!

So today is/was my brother’s birthday, and I’m sitting here staring into space when I should be getting ready to escape the house for Scarborough. You can draw as many lines as you want, but this stuff always leaks out from all of them, no matter how diminished you become. *sighs* I still miss you.

…

Ok. This has helped… I think. *goes to look at the washing machine*

Signed a contract to publish Backdoor Politics. The story will be coming down in about 22 hours so if you’re in the process of reading it, you better get your read on.

I have now lost 34 pounds since July 11!

I have been busily writing the beginning of a new story, a sequel to ‘Fallen’ set after the events of The Lord of the Rings. If I do my job right, it will feature an eventual role reversal. I can hardly wait for that! My Sauron muse assures me it won’t be fun at all. I think he’s dead wrong there…

I seem to be writing some Celeborn/Thranduil. Interesting pairing. Teacher-universe fic. In which Thranduil is quite wild and hot-tempered when faced with Celeborn’s endless patience and merry teasing.

::sighs:: Fourteen months without any issues, and the corgi lass had a small seizure today. I know it’s bound to happen from time to time, but I’d begun to hope...

Even though the ice cream thing is cute, I really miss some bits of the old forum.
