Mindless Monday (except it is Tuesday) i.e. a very randomy post

[paragraphs]

Today, you have been odd.

Had no sleep last night--sent Nick a phonepic of my clock at 1:15 a.m. with a whiny message but that wasn't the last time I looked at the clock. Then, suddenly my alarm went off--I am trying to stay with a 7:30 a.m. up-time regardless of what I do--so up I got. Then daughter comes to me crying--her BFF#4 (lotsa BFF's has she) lost his mother this morning after a ten year battle with illness. It was expected, but they are very close, hope to be roommates eventually, and all this brings back lots of hard memories for Tiff of when her dad died. But Troy needs her and she's been with him all day.

I accomplished nothing today other than dealing with that (lotsa hugs). Read over two fics I had beta'd, happy to see them both wrapped up, and watched lots of Supernatural (episodes of which seemed to have become like my comfort blanket--I barely pay attention, really, but the boys do a good job keeping me company), sorted shoes (daughter has a HUGE basketful, and they were all right at the door, geesh), and played with the dogs.

At least later today was more productive! Made a post on my pro blog (feels very weird to post things there), wrote a bunch of junk re: my fantasy magic system, and...

THIS POST IS BORING, RIGHT? I KNOW!!!!!!

I wanted to work on my Merlin Big Bang, but I just now opened it for the first time today. It needs work work work and I am in the mood of 'man, what is the point?' re: writing it for that purpose. I would rather beta, honestly--I love beta'ing my writers. They need to hurry up and write more so I can beta more, right?

I am also determinedly trying not to think of my phone hearing on Monday. Oh yes, didn't I mention? Bastards at my former place of employment are trying to fight my unemployment. I am not afraid, definitely not of that bastard (who my lovely writing group promises to kill off in their fics--love them) but very, very annoyed. I don't want to deal with this, but will, because I am right and they are wrong. Bastards.

Happily, I got my ESOP money finally, so at least there is plenty in the bank. What would make me even happier? To hear from Loose-Id would make me REALLY happy. Really really really really.

In fantasy news, things are marching along, though in an unexpected manner--one of my characters became something that I didn't expect, which is leading me to create a whole culture I hadn't expected to. Also, it seems there will be water dragons...kinda cool, that. I hope to start writing on this soon. Ready or not, I need to get going.


I wish I was going to England...

::HUGS:: To you, Tiff and her BFF!


Okay, so the evil bastard ex-boss, appropriately named, Cress, is eaten by your dragon...a watercress sandwich!

LOL you silly. How's things?

Nasty case of Bronchitis aside, not too bad. I’ve been working as a temp employee for a company in Redmond for a few months now and I just got the word they want to hire me permanently. I just have to wait until a position opens up. No idea when that will be, but there is hope.

Oh my stars that is good news. WHat kind of work is it? You are such a charming, caring person I am glad to see someone recognizes that, and that you are smart and dedicated! Redmond sounds good--how's the wife? :) You guys behaving? LOL.

Bronchitis sucks, definitely (as does being off work...argh).

Yes, bronchitis does suck. Aubrey finally dragged me to the doctor for some heavy duty meds this morning. The job isn't anything glamorous. I work 6pm to 2:30am as a janitor. Things were a little funny the first few days…the vast majority of people I work with barely speak English and they thought I was a manager.

Aubrey is doing great. She is getting ready to start working on her second BA. She only needs 16 credits for a BA in Psychology. Ya know, if you need help with your homework, Aubrey has a BA in history.

We’re behaving…sorta…MIL getting antsy for a grandbaby and we’re trying to remedy that. ::Giggle::

Ha! An open invitation! *happy dance*

I'll send you fic ... Dean and crayons coming your way, right after this comment. :-)

And I'll happily join those who send killing thoughts in the direction of bastards at former work place. I've been told my aim isn't too bad. ;-) *hugs*

I just finished watching Season 3 of Merlin yesterday. Have to record it because hubby won't watch it. What a great ending. I can't wait for Season 4. Hope I'm able to watch it.

Chris and family will be coming back from England in September, it looks like. They've tried, but she can't find work and his job at the pharmacy won't pay enough. Not sure if their Visa with her as a student has anything to do with that or not. At any rate, I'm both sad and happy for them.
