stuff
3/19/26 01:12 pmIt's more than halfway through Spring Break already, and I am Not Ready for it to end! I have managed to fix and open my 2nd 8-weeks class, so that's good, but I still have accessibility shit to work on, plus my house remains a pigsty, my laundry still needs to be done (not to mention put away, including previous laundry), plus I need to change my sheets.
I am making progress on my BuckTommy Bang fic, though! I'm currently working on chapter 3 and have reached 7645 words. I'm also feeling the need for some cheerleading-type beta. I want some feedback on what I've already written!
I really do need to find some bucktommy icons. Or some LFJ icons. He was so good as Park the Shark! And there remains hope that he will show up in 911 again, perhaps as soon as tonight.
Oh hey, I just found one and uploaded it, yay. Except it's not letting me pick it. Maybe I will need to edit the post, because you all need to see the glory that was Tommy kissing Buck into his bisexual awakening!

What I'm Doing Wednesday
3/18/26 02:51 pmEDITED TO ADD: The GoFundMe to support MinoanMiss/RubyNye's burial/memorial costs is here.
books
A Murderous Relation (Veronica Speedwell #5) by Deanna Raybourn. 2020. Kinky London again.
An Unexpected Peril (Veronica Speedwell #6). 2021. Mountaineering.
An Impossible Impostor (Veronica Speedwell #7). 2022. Return of Martin Guerre. Too much romance by far.
A Sinister Revenge (Veronica Speedwell #8). 2023. Dinosaur house party. Too much romance, still.
A Grave Robbery (Veronica Speedwell #9). 2024. Evil lesbian Dr Frankenstein. *sigh*
currently reading: A Ghastly Catastrophe (Veronica Speedwell #10). 2026. Dracula.
yarning
Sold a snek, a turkey leg, and 2 mushrooms. Got the carrots and kickbunny to KA in the mail (and worked out Click-n-Ship after USPS disabled my old login info). Didn't go to yarn group, even though I was dressed and ready. A strong cold front was on the verge of coming in and I just felt bad. So that's five in a row that I've missed, doh. I did post some pics to the group chat, so they know I'm still involved.

I finally called to renew my healthcare coverage, and there are delays on their end, thanks to their new system. Had to reschedule botox for migraines until next month.

Mercury Retrograde ends on the 20th, the same day as the Equinox (yay SPRING)! OTOH, the last time that all the outer planets were in their current positions, we were in the US Civil War. That doesn't mean we're headed into a new civil war by any means, obvsly, but it's a prettydreadful interesting time in the skies.
I hope all of you are doing well! <333

tumblr
3/16/26 09:36 pmSure is some fuckery going on at tumblr today. Anyway, I'm still here, still alive, it's spring break and I have so far done nothing except write about 1K on my BuckTommy bang. And I have a ton of work I need to get done this week, alas.
Speaking of Lou Ferrigno Jr (who played Tommy on 911 and will hopefully do so again), did any of y'all see him on The Pitt this week? He absolutely stole the show as Park the Shark! So glad to see him getting recognition for it, too!
It would be good to have some LFJ icons here, if anyone still does that. Or BuckTommy ones. I'm not nearly as fond of Oliver Stark (who plays Buck) as I am of Lou, but he does a decent job with what the writers give him and had/has insane chemistry with Lou.

What I'm Doing Wednesday
3/11/26 05:02 pm( books (Ghattas, Raybourn) )
yarning
Made and sent 2 catnip-silvervine hearts (to the same customer who has ordered about nine of them now). Missed yarn group due to cold, torrential rain, and DST. Made and sent 2 multicolored kickbunnies. Finished the turquoise kickbunny for kitten academy's current momcat (her kittens are 2 weeks old and adorable!), but haven't gone to the post office yet. Continued Easter carrots after messaging the customer to confirm the number and cost (so stressful!). Now they just need smiles and hanging loops.
healthcrap
I loathe springing forward. Still can't get up at a decent hour. Daytime vertigo is now coming randomly. In the night, it's mostly connected to lying in bed/rolling over/getting up to go to the bathroom. Fun times. I do feel a bit better overall. I got all my healthcare coverage renewal info uploaded and am impatiently awaiting a telephone appt. Tongue still has a hole in it, but it's shallower than it was and is slowly healing...if I can just keep from biting it. Had to start a new tube of benzocaine.
#resist
+ Check locally for anti-war protests. I'm finding Reddit and Instagram to be fairly good sources if you check often. (Last Saturday was a national protest, but I didn't know about it until just a couple of hours beforehand. Doh!)

Thanks for the kind comments on recent posts. I've been terrible at replies. I hope you're all doing well! <333
