Just a little note, since my posting schedule lately has been a bit delayed, for the inquiring minds that wish to know...

Life continues to teach: it's consistent for that. And like Sansa Stark, maybe I learn slowly, but I learn. I feel that in the last few years I've cut or let go of so many ties, I sometimes don't recognize myself as such an unfettered being. Did you know unfettered and trapped can be synonymous? Sometimes the letting go was not even done by me, but it's a hard pill to swallow, when you're always wondering why no one sticks with you. It feels a little like one of those, laugh, cause otherwise you'll cry types of things. Had that? Yeah? Check. Moving on.
In other news, opinions: they're like cellphones, everyone's got one and they can be expensive.
I've absolutely done zilch today, and can say that with zero guilt. For the longest time, just wasting a day napping, or being lazy only came with an associated amount of guilt for having 'wasted' a perfectly good day, but, happy day, I realize that it just don't matter. Revelations abound!
Writing! Continuing to do so. Err..that also was the plan for today, but napped a lot instead. It seems as if I spend most of the day working up to write, only to actually really get going late a night. Jody/Matt continue to campaign that their 'slow burn' from the first fic be replaced with high-octane-rapid-fire-let's-just-get-it-on-burn, so we'll see how that goes, can you guess? Heh! I may throw down a couple chapters, I can't seem to decide whether to post bit by bit, or wait until it's all done...again, does it really matter either way?
Isn't it funny how you just sometimes NEED pie? In this case, apple. Store bought. And judge me as you will 'cause I just don't care. And pretty sure it ain't gonna last the weekend.
Until next ramble, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

Sunday! Sunday!
Jun. 26th, 2022 01:20 pmNot much to report today, just staying in, staying cool and hoping to spend the afternoon writing. Got chores done yesterday, including some yard work. Caught a break and knocked it out underneath overcast skies and in the midst of a very light rain which was fine by me! Temperatures were bearable but boy, am I reminded how out of shape I am when I embark on these spontaneous, strenuous outdoor activities. Yikes!
I’ve been going back and watching a lot of the J.D. trial and it’s wild how the mainstream media simps for A.H. whose seemingly willing to out right lie under oath. It’s a little frightening to think about what else goes on out in the world, especially for people without the money and resources Johnny Depp has. Makes me glad I’m (mostly) content to remain in my hermitage. One can take the hermit life too far, but hey, don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it. Heh!
In other news, I’m attempting to pull a Chopped Champion move and throw a bunch of ingredients together along with some leftovers for a masterful, delicious dish for lunch. I’ve tried this before with varying degrees of success, so we’ll see! (Edit: it turned out decent, a win for me! Heh!)
Planning to spend the afternoon writing, though I really need to get a new desk and a proper chair. I find it difficult to type on a laptop without sitting in a straight up desk chair, but unfortunately, a while back I got rid of my desk and chairs…back then I wasn’t doing any writing so it hasn’t really mattered, but now I need to think about what I need. I hope to continue writing enough to warrant the expense, I have something in mind but bills get paid first, so another thing to figure out!
On the writing front, I’m working on Angels Ain’t Easy. Unlike Bad Luck, Bad Guys and High Mountain Rangers which I had a definite vision of how that fic would begin, and end, I don’t have a clear vision of where this story is going. I’m just gonna let it go where it wants and enjoy the trip.
Laters, gators!

Just a moment of me actually being able to stay awake long enough to post something. Heh! For a certain amount of time I actually did forget I had this journal, sort of. I was shocked to realize it's been nearly a year and a half since I've engaged with it. Time has a way of stretching out, then snapping back like a rubber band, sometimes feeling unbearably long and tedious, other times moving much too fast! Wish I could say I've made great accomplishments this last while, or had many adventures, or even read lots of books, but alas, mostly it's just been the usual, getting by, confronting old ghosts, stressing over bills, savoring the quiet weekends when they come.
On the old fandom front: I never did get back around to posting more of my old fic to A03. Sometimes I get a lovely comment on some of my already posted works that brings me to think about uploading more, but I never seem to manage it. Instead, I remember back to the heady days of LJ and then drift off again without uploading anything. Occasionally, I think upon all my old, dearest flames (LOTR, RPS, Stargate Atlantis, Hawaii 5-0, MCU/Loki, Tour of Duty) but that's mostly all I do, think of them fondly. Every now and then I'll seek fic out and lurk about on A03. More often I nibble on my newer faves, The Captive Prince trilogy, and the All For the Game trilogy in form of audio books that I listen to at work.
On the new fandom front: plot twist, I'm writing. And am thoroughly enjoying the process, quite possibly more than I can ever remember doing. I'm just having fun, putting no pressure on myself, and don't really care what anyone else thinks about it, which is probably why I'm enjoying it so, ha! I'll probably be posting some rambling notes here, just 'cause I want to, and then eventually the fic. It's a fairly obscure fandom which few will probably have ever heard of, but I'm in a strange state of bliss while writing it. Anyhow, that's all for now.
