so here we are

On Tuesday, I did the super-adult thing & scheduled a bunch of medical appointments for me, which is a necessary thing but which I’m not looking forward to. The least annoying is an eye exam coming up on Friday, so at least I can get new glasses. I’ve had these for 3 years & they’re kind of hanging on by a thread.

BabyBoy is back up at his school apartment & the other kids are off with their D&D crew at the beach so it’s just D & I at home this weekend. We kicked off this mini staycation by going & getting take-out from this little meat-and-three place on Main Street. They’ve been there since 1955 & started a curbside pick-up during the pandemic. It was packed tonight, with cars circling the block trying to pull into the parking lot, but we listened to the Braves game (they’re getting stomped, sadly) & duly emerged victorious with fried chicken & pecan pie & sweet tea.

In fannish news, it appears that I’m falling into a post-TFATWS Bucky Barnes-shaped fic spiral. Not only do I have the Darcy/Bucky that’s about to crack 20k words & is barely half-done, but there’s also a Sam/Bucky that’s probably looking at 10k once I get through the sex. And then I ended up writing a thousand words ON MY PHONE of a Sharon/Bucky this-isn’t-going-to-end-well 5 Times draft, complete with the sequel outline where I’m trying to figure out how to fix things/redeem Sharon. Oh, and there’s a sequel to the Cap/Darcy I finished in the spring where Natasha & Bucky are hassling each other about their tragic lack of game with their choice of partners (Clint & Sarah, respectively.)

It’s a good thing I don’t have anything else going on in my life, like a full-time job & the 2nd job of caretaking D, yeah?

I was going to update you on my books, but this is long enough as it is, so I’ll catch y’all next Wednesday with that.

Ciao, bellezze!

I feel like a blonde for asking, but do you ever post your fics?!!!!! I've been tinkering with a WandaVision fic since I watched the series (They are my MCU OTP!)

Sweet! I'm going to follow you!

It was hard to watch at times because of her pain! He was/is her soulmate and WV made that clear.

You are always so busy! But I'm happy to see you're writing, and doing the things to take care of yourself. A recent experience has taught me how timely that can be. ALL the adulting! Blech. <3

That is so many fics! Good for you!

And good for you on all the medical stuff. I have a handful of things like that I've been putting off because of time/money/other stuff.

That is impressive adulting.

I'm glad you've been doing some fun things and enjoying writing. That's lovely to see.

Congrats on the adulting. I also need to make a couple routine medical appointments one of these days.

Yay for being on a writing roll. I'm looking forward to fruits of your labour.
