Dang.

Not a word I've ever said in my life, but also poot.  No internet connection at all today at Dad's. Weather, probably—it's freezing cold, cloudy and raining. I've officially HAD it with Winter Kthnxbai.

Dad discussing retirement homes today. Today he's of the opinion that he should go into a home, so I will make an effort and see what's available. He'll probably change his mind tomorrow, but we'll have to see what happens. (of course later in the day he denied having had this conversation and does not want to go into a home at all!)

I realised, over the last week, that I've been the beta and prodder of about five writers—and every single one of them has stopped writing, and in most cases have faded away completely. One might be considered unfortunate, but five must be considered to be carelessness.Note to self: don't do it again.

The thing about the network connection is that I don't seem to be able to take it on the chin and get on with YANNO—LARGE HINT TO SELF, STUFF THAT NEEDS DOING like the final edit for Muffled Drum or writing something else—instead of which I stare, bichon-friese-like at the connection icon, as if something is going to magically change. i walk around the house with the laptop in case the bedroom or kitchen might get a better reception. (God alone knows what I'd if I connected in the bathroom (no euphemism implied) – set up a desk in there???)

Or I re-read the saved friends page I have. Or-even though I can't post them, i write blog posts.

Ahem.

Also this is very wrong. Hilarious—and I want one (Looks speculatively at Lili) but really really wrong Actually it would work better with Severus because he already has a black tail that has a bend in it. But he has black blobs….Stop me from buying food colouring…

five and a bit.

Humph. So now I qualify as "a bit!?" lol With friends like you...

Well, I haven't really quit writing so much as just not being able to stay focused on anything longer than a few minutes. But you and Alex and Charlie and Lee just keep right on no matter what happens. I hope it's just a nutrition thing. An herbalist I know said I need to take Vitamin B and also Fish Oil supplements. She may very well be right, from what I read on the internet. But with so many prescriptions drugs fighting it out in my system, I don't want to start them without asking my doctor first.

Who is publishing Mere Mortals? I love the cover.

I hope to pop into the chat until the school bus gets here, anyway.

Well, I just tried to get into the chat and for some weird reason, had to re-join the group. I'm waiting for the confirmation e-mail, which hopefully won't take too long. The way my luck has always gone with these online chats, the school bus will pull up just about the same time the confirmation arrives -- if it arrives.
