Updatey update of updatable type stuffs
Apr. 3rd, 2012 02:29 amCan I just start this off by saying you guys rock? Really. Thank you everyone who jumped in to help my daughter with her homework. Part of the issue with the question is not only is the book on the older side, but her school is based out of a major city 130km away. Most of the other children are "city kids" where I am told some stores do still have the option of something other than plastic or fabric bags. Learn something every day!
Also, because I am a dork, I found the responses fascinating.
And speaking of being a dork ...

Sleep is a beautiful thing.

Who remembers the “The Lung Thing”? (for those who are new or who don’t remember and want to know, it starts here, then here and finally here.) Guess what! You will never guess, ‘cause you totally can’t figure it out from the title and the first sentence.
( It's back. )
I have been putting this post off until I was in a better mood, or at least a better mind-frame to talk about it. My unanswered messages are piling up though which means it is probably beyond time for an explanation as to why. For those of you on the f-list that also fall into the category of "family" this is all the talking about it I will be doing. Anything else you want to know, talk to mom or Matt. I have the option to not deal with it right now. I am using it.

Dec. 23rd, 2010 10:35 pmIn a post on Monday I mentioned "The Thing" (queue ominous music, I imagine it is kind of like "The Blob" only a lot less deadly and would probably somehow involve smut. Because if I have to have an unknown thing lurking in my chest it is damn well going to have super powers!). Tuesday afternoon I got a phonecall telling me I had a bronchoscopy with biopsy scheduled for 7:45 am 86 km way Thursday morning.
( "See munchkin, I told you it wouldn't be this thing that killed me, you were all worried for nothing." "Mom, if you don't stop bouncing I will be the thing that kills you." )

Frowny face.
Dec. 20th, 2010 01:24 pmSo, back in October, 4 days before I was scheduled for decompression surgery on my brain the surgery was canceled due to "elevated white blood cell count and a nodule in the upper right chest". Yeah, a "nodule". Official medical term. To be precise an "approximately 1.5 cm nodule".
( Cut for medical stuff, biologically I am weird too! )
In other news. My graphics card sputtered its last breath the other day. Literal sputtering even, then it spiked to temps I don't even want to think about and my computer shutdown. :/
Now, because I have an awesome child, she has let me borrow her's until I get a new one. So pics are still happening. Her card is nowhere near what mine was and I am still adjusting to this whole "What do you mean I can't have 50 controllable sims on the lot?" thing, but pics are happening! Happening to the point that Chapter 4 Part 1 of Pleasantries should be up later tonight. :D
This makes me happy! I have had parts of this chapter written since January. It is also the ending of the first major plot arch and the kicking into gear of the plot proper! Parts 2 and 3 will follow shortly after but they kind of have to come as a set so I don't know quite yet when those will be out. Should be some time in the next week or so.
Right, so that is what I have been up to. A lot of waiting, but also a lot of writing.
