saxihighlandck. I like sweets that come with no calories. Almost as much as I like you. ♥
I woke up and my computer had auto updated, deleting the draft of a post I had in email. So briefly.
We've been to see Fast Five this week, and it was a lot of fun.
James had a hospital appointment which meant a lot of waiting. It was to see his hand surgeon and he's been discharged now and just has to keep an eye on his hands, so if they start curling in even more splints could be used instead of surgery. But that's something that may never happen so we're not worrying about it. That day we also went to the coast and then for a walk in the park, where I got to play on the xylophone and stick my head in the giant humming stone. Sadly I never found the perfect pitch to make the stone vibrate, and there's only so long you can be bent over, your head inside a giant stone, humming like crazy, before you start to feel weird.
Mam and Kayleigh aren't talking at the moment. What I need is a device to zap mam's phone so she can't use it when she's been drinking, which I guess means I'd turn it off at midday most days. Her view of events and reality remain consistently miles apart, one of the last lots being what happened the day Tex died. Which really isn't cool at all.
Things in the garden are growing like crazy, with the beans and courgettes vying to take the over-achiever award. Later on this morning we're picking up 6 more tomato plants, which suggests some rearranging will be going on this afternoon.
I've been doing the first edit on my BBB, which included making the very first scene readable after I'd hurriedly changed it just before needing to send in my first draft. Something I had to do when I realised it was in a POV that was never used again in the story. For such a small change it took a lot of chopping and changing, I suspect because I've had that first establishing scene written for ages, so altering it felt weird. But, I like how it is now, so that's good. I'm also in touch with my artist, and oh my goodness. I've been ruined for any other big bangs because I know I'll never get an experience as good again.
Then on Monday Saba arrives! And the preparation for Camp Sparkle goes into full swing. A week of sparkly joy with some of my most favourite people ever, though I am sad some familiar faces won't be there. Also, I need to find my tiara. Yes. Silver space bulls with red eyes \o/
Soon we're going to go pick up Tex's ashes. It'll be good to have him home. But for now, more editing. Maybe more coffee too.

turlough at CS, obviously I need to use my best Mikeyway Disenchanted tactics and talk to her while she's sleeping. 7 nights and she'll be a Mikey wife for sure \o/
