Tuesday, Cyclone Headache and Potentiality

Beloved should be in my arms tonight if all goes well. I'm still halfway prepared for it to be a wash all the same.

My braining difficulties are not helped by a cyclone headache today. Also not helped by an urgent phone call in the middle of my stretchies. MeMum had mislaid her phone and tracing it was literal hell.

I know she won't like it, but maybe adding the voice command and utilising some variant of "where are you" to make the phone chirp... could be helpful. I don't even know if Mum's mobile can do that. Plus we're all justifiably paranoid about technology listening to us.

Until then, it's the old trick of announcing out loud where one puts a thing. It's shockingly good at helping forgetful beans remember where they put their phone/tea/book/sunnies.

I use it daily.

Onwards to the offerings. Let's go.

Thursday, Behind the Curtain

I didn't tag a week, yesterday, but I did get a chapter summarised, so there is that.

Wish me luck.

I also plan to drip sentences or paragraphs into my working chapter as I go.

Chapter Count: Began working on Chapter 262

Fingers crossed that I get to at least halfway through it

Friday, Day 1, Gearing Up

Plague news: NO NEW CASES! Seventy-nine total active cases, with twenty-one in hospital and one in the ICU.

I'm still being gentle with myself until all reasons to be panicking are dealt with. One way or another. Stress is hell on inspiration.

I'm

Ice Cream at Last!

I have been waiting since BEFORE EASTER to finally had a tub of ice cream from Messrs Ben and Jerry. So here's a recap of what went agley:

  • Chocolate takes priority - actual Erastide loaded with the chocolatey goodness and an ENTIRE BIG BOWL of fun-size sugary temptation. Did not even consider ice cream
  • Big Day at the Movies - Going out to see some action thing with the fam. And an assortment of carby deliciousness that survived through the NEXT FUCKING

...party?

My birthday is this Tuesday, so we're having a little mini-party today. Cake, family, and presents. Nothing huge, hugely expensive, or extravagant.

I still count that trip to Tucson in March as a late-Christmas/early-birthday present combo. That was a budgetary blowout of epic proportions. Therefore anything extra today is a blessing.

Beloved has promised me something I will enjoy but they will probably regret. I have to confess to being interested in seeing what the heck it is. And then try
