Early Morning Thoughts
Feb. 28th, 2014 05:39 am- I haven't gone back to coffee yet. When I started AIP, I thought that would be one of the first things I reintroduced. But nope. Chocolate last week, nightshade spices this week. I don't have a plan for coffee yet, but someday. Right now I enjoy my pot of morning tea more than enough.
- We're getting married! ...for reals this time! We filled out the forms in December and now we've secured a judge who can sign things and make them legit. We'll be back in MN come June for the officialness. I think Lady's mom and sister will be our witnesses. I didn't think I'd be excited, but I am, even though she's been my wife since our wedding. Now things will just be legal. Joint tax filing! Yay!
- Speaking of AIP, my rash is getting better, just taking a loooong time at it. I can now eat (soy-free, dairy-free, nut-free) chocolate, butter, and seed spices. Hopefully this weekend proves I can also have things like paprika and cayenne powder again. This is a freaking long process, BTW.
- I have four tomato sproutlings on my desk, listening to music with me. These better turn out to be the best damn tomatoes ever.
- We have tickets (finally) out to my brother's wedding in April. It is now officially a full family affair. Last night Lady asked me, "this is going to be awkward, isn't it?" Yeah. Yeah it will. Fun!
- Editing is going along. HabitRPG has kept me from shirking my duties on several occasions now.
- Querying is pretty much done for MA. No bites, but quite a few nice rejections. There's still time for a few of them to get back to me, so I'm not completely done, but I've already begun the mourning process. I didn't really expect that, but aside from hormones (which is always a possibility) it's the only reason I can think of that I've been waaaay down all week. So down that I called out Wednesday because I simply couldn't face the prospect of going into work without crying. Maybe if it were more socially acceptable to be sad at work, but it's not and I'm really fucking tired of people telling me to smile or cheer the fuck up. Rawr.
- At least I still feel pretty good about the story. It's just not good enough, or the right kind of story, or I'm still terrible at query letters... but that's where I am right now. I just have to keep working on it.
