Life update

[boosette_archive]

Work this week has ranged from drowning under all the things I've had to do, to scraping the bottom of the training barrel and going home early.

Right now I'm on early lunch because I skipped breakfast, regretted it, and hit the ground running (after waking up at 4:30 to beeping burglar alarm and unexpected spider on the burglar alarm. at taraljc's house. I slept another two hours after, but I'm still falling over now.

This weekend I need to:

* call my mom so that she does not worry
* contact my drinkswap sender and recip
* head to the middle east bakery for coffee and other drinks for swapping
* clean my house including swiffering the floors
* mail my rent check (saturday, NOT monday!)

not. leave. my. house.

I would up taking a random thursday off last week because I was so emotionally raw, and I need a solid two days of introvert time or else ... or else. So tonight it's back to my house to continue my rewatch of first season mythbusters and probably I will make a small batch of stew in the crock pot.

Also, I dressed as Medusa for Halloween because my office does that, and I've stolen one of the break-room decorative ravens, attached him to my monitor stand, and named him Quoth.

Yuletide at 3,000 words. Anyone who knows the canon on my flist up for beta-reading a story that will probably top out at ~50,000+ words? I am trying, stylistically, for "original author if they had had a proper fan-beta instead of whoever wound no not really editing their books at all."

*boggles at the Yuletide projected wordcount* That is one helluva giftfic my dear!! I'd offer to beta, but with NaNo eating my brain and the likelihood I'll be Yuletide panicing in December, I doubt I'd be able to manage that kind of beta length. Though I am so freaking excited to get to read it. Man!

Also, crock pot stew is the best thing ever. I use the hell outta mine, especially now that it's getting colder.

Recipe's up! Curry today, stew tomorrow, because I had the things for curry and notsomuch for stew.

(my house smells like foooood)

50k plus for your Yuletide fic?!

Eep! I just started outlining mine and I think I'll probably fall between the 2 to 4k mark. But this year I do want to do treats, time permitting and all.

(BTW, every time you mention cooking in the crock pot, especially when it's cold, I get jealous mostly because fast way to cook hot food sounds amaaazing! and I seriously need to go out and buy one)

I lucked out - i got mine on clearance last year from Target's Magical Time Of Here Are Housewares To Give For The Holidays for $5. And a matching toaster.

I still regret skipping the other adorable matching appliances.

OOOPS, sorry about that slip of the fingers!

I will trade you a beta for a plotbunny so I don't end up defaulting!

I am SO THERE.

(High level "is it good" is what I need - I'll grab a line-edit probably sometime in late dec.)

Medusa...sounds like a great costume.

Hope you enjoy your introvert time. Definitely understand needing that.
