domino43Let's do this one a little differently and see how it works out...
Okay, let's see. I've read 50/64 of the V.C. Andrews books. 2-3 weeks of books left to read and about a month and a half left of the year. I think I made pretty good time. And speaking of books, I am dingy. When I went to my appointment, I took the last two books I had just finished so I could take them back and pick up the next 9. I got there and turned off the car and then realized, "It's noon and there are only 2 cars here... *facepalm* It's Veteran's Day! They're closed today." So I had to drive around the block to drop the books in the after-hours drop box.
Like I said before, the Dr. doubled my MTX from 6.25mg to 12.5mg. It was such a small dose before I really didn't feel it, but this time It really stung and actually kind of hurt for a few minutes. It's so thick, too. I am definitely NOT looking forward to getting these shots now every week. *meep* With the increase, he's hoping I see some improvement quicker. Haven't seen any yet. Most people seem to say it takes about 12 weeks to see any real results, so I'm about halfway there.
Also, since I got back on my Prednisone (didn't have the money to get it for a couple weeks), I feel a little better. Pain has already gone down a tiny bit. Hopefully in a few more days it will be even better. I need to get a refill as soon as dad gets paid, though.
Also, as I said before, Corie has Mono. Still can't figure out where she got it, but she does. So, I'll be here a few days to help out until the fatigue starts wearing off a bit and she feels up to it. The kids seem like they should be okay. They haven't been too bad lately. We'll see after a few days.
As I said in my mini!post, I've been around (quite a bit, actually), but I just haven't really felt up to posting. There have been so many things I've wanted to say/rant about, but I just didn't feel it. I've been reading and commenting when I had something to say, so I haven't been ignoring you all. Just been kind of blah lately. I think I've been mostly tired.
I wish I had steady internet access/a reliable computer. I kind of wish I was taking part in NaNo. Can you believe I've never NaNo'd? Oh, well. One of these years, I guess. I just want to work on something. I have a couple things I need to finish (anyone remember me mentioning a certain George/Ringo Slash I wanted to write? Well I started it shortly after that, but then got quite stuck. A few weeks ago, I nearly doubled it in length, but it needs more. I just need to figure out a couple transitions and details and I should be able to finish it. Plus, that Kirill-Hans story I mentioned forever and a half ago over at VFB. I have that thing a little over half done and need to finish it, as well. AND I need to finish that Karl/Anita story. *headdesk* So much to write, but not quite enough muse to go around. And nowhere to keep it all in one place. And, and, and...
Okay. I think I'm done for now. Let's see how this post looks when it's posted. Just wanted to do something a little different.

Date: 2009-11-12 08:13 am (UTC)I am writing a short "drabble" over at Urbanites and Urban Reveries. Some of the newer Urbies kept bugging me about finishing my Karl inspired Vampire fic, but my muse on that story was stuck. So, I decided to write a short fic based on a picture of Karl I've always loved. The story is called "Chance Meeting" and it's a kind of a sci-fi/fantasy or supernatural love story type of thing. I'm having a lot of fun writing it and over the weekend, I saw the movie "Van Helsing" on TBS and decided I can use him to help me move my story to it's ending. I know how my Vampire fic is going to end already, I just needed some help getting from where it's at now. Wish me luck and no, I've never NaNo'd either. Not sure how I'd do under all that pressure to write so many words, etc.
Don't worry about commenting or not too much. I've been kind of the same way of late. Too much sad/depressing shit going on and the weather, shorter days, take your pic. Blah! I comment when I feel I should and other times, well...
I like how you posted this. I was too damned lazy to do in kind, sorry. Maybe sometime when it's not almost 12:15 a.m. and I am not stoned to the gills and written out for the night! LOL! :) I'm such a headcase, don't I know it!
Love ya, little sis! :)
