Night Out

Ok, a lot of the heat has backed off and many things have returned to normal, so I can probably go about posting again. Life has changed but that is the definition of life, is it not?

William and I had a night out as a stress reliever. We went to a movie! Haven't been to a movie in many many years as the result of spasticity problems. Can't very well sit for hours while your muscles contract randomly and uncontrollably. Thank goodness theatres now have modernized their chairs. The one we went to were spacious so he could shift in the seat when he needed to, plus also reclined a bit and had supports for his legs. If they were the old fashioned flat fold seats he would never have made it. Movie was good, brought up some issues that we ignored (one subset of the movie is the main character realizing he is homosexual while being with a woman).

Then we went out to dinner. Mind, I'm doing 36 hour days, and this was nearing the end of my 36 window. My food was fine, but William's was massively undercooked and overseasoned. Ok, fine, that's why we don't go out but seeing as how it was a gift for all of our hardships we let it do. Then the waitress stole $25 off our giftcard. I checked before we went out that there was a $50 balance on it and she said there was only $25. So she cashed out $25 on our giftcard. Needless to say it was a pretty shitty ending to what was supposed to be a relief. No wonder why we just stay home. It's not worth it. Managed to shuffle William out of there before he blew up because I could see he was ready to start stuff. Can't fight with people of color anymore even if they do steal from you.

So slept a bit and have some pesky stuff to do out in the yard but it is raining again. Been raining for the last month. Yard looks like shit. Everytime I get a day off it rains so I can't mow. Oh well. Neighbors are just going to have to understand I can't mow at 2am when I'm awake.

Maybe I can do some laundry or something. Looks like it is going to rain all week again.Night

When it rains

Have been on a fic dry spell since, oh, Feb 15th of this year due to circumstances. I mean like nothing. No ideas, no writing, nothing. Not unusual considering things I'm still not talking about and several major life setbacks and mental breakdowns associated with.

Been plugging away steadily at the RockFic ficmas fest prompt I picked out. It's nothing overly magnificent, but it is a fic. Was rescanning the list trying to figure out which one to tackle next and my brain went sideways at the grocery store. Two ideas for fics, sadly neither are on the Wishlist, but man are they tempting. One is semi self insert, which I always seem to do when feeling out new characters. The other... Well... Maybe I can write it after Christmas. It's a bizarre crossover but not in a bad way. I can make it work. Given one main character is the same age as my husband helps, I can line up where he was and what was going on in the greater world with where the character is. Just hope I can remember enough about it to make it as interesting as it sounds in my head.

Did some grocery shopping today, and seeing as how it's now 14:00 it is getting on my bed time. Gotta get back on night shift for tomorrow and it's gonna suck.
