May. 18th, 2013 12:37 pmIt's chucking it down at there right now. Thankfully I don't have to go anywhere, so am just pottering around and watching the rain through the windows. Though the pottering has to be relatively quiet as James is on night shifts and has decided to crash on the couch instead of going up to bed. At some point I'm going to get to work on my bbb draft, I figure a week break is more than enough and I do have filler scenes to write. So, once I post this it's coffee and writing time, and maybe thinking about who I can ask to do an alpha read/answer questions for me.
Some catch ups. After finally being referred for an x-ray it was discovered that nanna had crushed a vertebra in her back. It makes me angry at her doctors that no one would actually listen to how much pain she was in, saying over and over it was just bruising, until finally, a doctor who had just joined the practice actually did something. She's finally started to feel a bit better now, especially as she's been given a walking stick, but still, it's been 5 months since she's left the house alone, and she used to be really independent.
In news that will surprise no one. James' work was supposed to come and take all the computer equipment out of the spare room after deciding to scrap the at home work scheme. So, over a year of trying to make it work, an insane amount of money to fit and pay for a high speed second internet line, building a desk in the bedroom, and many visits from BT engineers and it's scrapped. Except of course, the IT dept cancelled at the last minute to take the computers away. Go figure.
We thought we'd lost Tinker earlier in the week. Discovered she was missing and turned the house upside down while Corey walked the estate and James drove asking if anyone had seen her. I really thought that was it, she was gone, but when I went in the garden to start looking outside myself, I heard her squeak. At some point she must have snuck outside when I was either putting out or taking in the washing, and then found herself trapped outside. Thankfully she didn't try to leave, just hid under a crate, but man. My heart. The thought of losing another pet was heartbreaking.
We've been planting out seedlings this week. It was a beautiful day two days ago, and then overnight things changed to cold, wet and grey. Hopefully the stuff in the greenhouse will be okay, but the poor runner beans will be waterlogged.
James is going to France with the Scouts next Friday so we've been doing a lot of organising for that, including trying to get a letter from the doctor for insurances purposes, something that caused a lot of hassle and James fretting he wouldn't be able to go. But, thankfully that's sorted now. He's already started to pack his case, and without clothes it's already half full with his spare leg and supplies. I'm glad I'm not the one humping that thing around.

ladyfoxxx did a meme where she wrote sort of not fic if you gave her a fic title. I gave Your Can't Fuck My Brother -- not that I was hinting at anything at all -- and she replied with a most amazing notfic that ended Mikey/Pete/Gerard, because she's magic and somehow knew I liked such things. If you want to read go to this post where there's other notfics to enjoy, too.
And now, I should open that file. But, coffee first.
