In a few hours, we're off to the doctor's yet again. James had an appointment on Tuesday as he needed a fit note for work, and then it was mentioned that he needed his annual blood test due to taking blood pressure meds. So, we went back to see the nurse yesterday to have that done, and as usual, it was a bust. Because of the way his arms are it's pretty much impossible to get blood out of him. The nurse tried, she phoned the more senior nurse who laughed and said 'no way' ask the doctor before the nurse we were with even said his name -- we know this senior nurse well as we've both seen her often, and she's well aware of James' blood giving issues and had seen us going into the room. So, we waited and went to see the doctor who managed it last time. Nope, she failed too. As she just squeezed him in yesterday she told James to make an actual appointment this morning and she'd try to get it out of his foot. Which first, ouch! Second, I suspect she'll fail again as he's had so much surgery on his foot that it's pretty much a mess of scar tissue. But we'll see, maybe she'll have some trick up her sleeve.

Tomorrow we have tickets for Captain Marvel, so that's something to look forward to.

I've been writing an umbrella kink meme fill and posted it at Ao3 yesterday. It has a mixture of het and slash -- all in different chapters so no reading something you didn't want to. And still, I got a 'ew straight' comment. Now I imagine the commenter thought they were all edgy stating that straight is ew, but all I can think of is a five-year-old thumping their little chubby fists on a table and going 'ew peas'.

I had a lot of fun writing that fill, and in fact, am having fun writing full stop at the minute. Next should be the h/c exchange story -- well, once I actually finish the sign up as the deadline is today. But until then, who knows?

It sounds like his blood has a special power to hide from people that want it (guess he doesn’t have to worry about vampires!)

Ohh cool! I hope to see it Saturday

I’m so glad that you did a full? Hopefully you’ll do more because ahh! And ugh, people! Didn’t they realise they could just skip over it?

That’s awesome, I’m so glad you’re writing again🖤

[turps]

Ha, that's true. Vampires would starve if they wanted any blood from him.

I hope you do get to see it. We're off to the 11:30 show tomorrow, so only the second ever showing after the midnight one tonight. Sadly, I'm well past going to see midnight movies. I'd be asleep before the film actually started.

I really enjoyed doing the fill. Just having the words that want to come out is fantastic. But yeah, I posted the way I did exactly so people could avoid things they didn't want to read. I mean, the thing has no actual plot, you'll miss nothing by not reading every part.

Ah well, I got lovely comments, too. So all is good.

[shadowhive]

Yeah!

I’m just waiting for the local cinema to put the new time’s up. Awww I’ve only been to midnight showings for Star Wars and they were worth it 💜

I’m glad! Hopefully others will inspire you too! I don’t get people sometimes

Yeah comments are 🖤

[pensnest]

Perhaps you could reply, Ew, stupidity. But you're too nice to do that!

[turps]

I should reply something like that. However, you know me too well and will have to stick to saying such stuff on here.

[chalcopyrite]

Ugh, I hope the blood draw is a success! I hate it when they have to keep trying.

LOL @ ew peas. :D

[turps]

The blood draw was a success in the end. She did get it from his foot. The doctor said it would smart, James said it bloody hurt.

I'm sure that commenter thinks they're great with hating reading straight sex scenes and all. But really, ewww? Not a very grown up comment, really.

[turlough]

I feel sorry for James. It can't be any fun having to have so many needles stuck into you just for a little blood.

I hope you enjoyed the movie!

Only someone very young (at least in mind!) would think that kind of comment was edgy. Everyone else recognises five-year-olds when they see them :-)

[turps]

It's always a trial getting blood out of him. Though this is the first time in a very long time they've had to use his foot.

I did enjoy the movie, it was a lot of fun.

It was such a stupid comment. I don't care if people don't want to read het, loads don't, but what the grown-ups do is ignore it, not comment just to say ewww,

[brandywine28]

Your fussy, anti-het five year old is making me giggle.

:)

Your fussy, anti-het five year old is making me giggle.

It's the only way to think of it really. I mean, why take the time to comment?

[frausorge]

Gahh, poor James! What a trial.

And, wow. Hopefully that person is living a lighter life now they've unburdened themself of that comment--and hopefully it doesn't take anything away from your writing fun!

[turps]

He's been on a health rollercoaster lately. But, back to work soon and hopefully on the up.

Thankfully they didn't dent my fun. I still don't know what they hoped to achieve by making the comment in the first place.
