I had a letter to post before midday. I also had my latest antibody test to send away so needed to go to the priority postbox.

After nearly a year I've finally cracked how to get enough blood for the antibody test. I still don't like doing them and sigh each time I see that a new pack has been dispatched, but at least I can get them done easily now. While I'll never know, I hope my antibody numbers are helpful: and very high after having my 2nd jab.

I'd gone to the postbox, then Lidl and was back home before nine, which was a productive start to the day, especially as it was nice and sunny. Also a bit chilly, which probably helped me get home sooner as I'd gone out without my coat so wasn't about to linger.

I've had a good email chat with themoononastick about my h/c exchange story and she's talked me down about it so I feel much more confident about the whole thing now. Now I just need to add more words. So to help with that I'm procrastinating with the A03 meme I've seen in a few places now. I mean, what better way to prompt words being written than to be reminded you can actually write words people like?

No surprises. I was the right place at the right time writing The Umbrella Academy stories, probably the only time I'll catch the very beginning of a new fandom so they're up there at the top, and the old favourites are still hanging in there years after they were posted. I still can't believe 10 Ways still makes these lists, something I wrote really fast and yet it's still popular.

I haven't done this meme for a while so was surprised to see Magic Mike claw its way up there, and go my Musketeers! Maybe someone actually will read the space story if I ever write the end. Other than that, no changes from the hits really.

I admire your diligence with the antibody tests! I don't think I could keep up drawing blood from myself like that for a whole year.

Go you for getting a nice and early start to the day!

Lots of good luck with the h/c story!!

It must feel really nice to know that people keep on liking your stories!
