So many things…
The boys and I went to see Frozen 2 over the weekend (who knew I’d still be going to Disney movies with my grown kids?) which I think we all enjoyed, with everyone’s favorite song being Jonathon Groff going completely OTT with Kristoff’s boyband extravaganza. Too funny (and BabyBoy and I really miss hearing Groff sing.)
The trailers were mostly horrible, except there in the middle sat the one for the new Little Women. I may have to go this one alone, just because I will not be in the mood for any scoffing, no matter how deserved it might be. (I’m hoping it won’t be at all deserved.) I may not even check in with any of my girlfriends, or if I do, I may have to screen potential dates based on whether they think Jo really should have married Laurie after all. Not that I’m neurotic about this book or anything.
BabyBoy continues to try to drag me into the GenZ aesthetic, with this weekend being the music update – we wrote together using a loop of the Kingdom Hearts launch screen and then we drove back to school (for finals and auditions) with a bootleg of Six (at very high volume--good energy to ramp up for auditions), which does, as the kids say, slap. It has been added to our Potentials list for the next trip to Manhattan.
I am 11 minutes away from being current on The Mandalorian, which means I am invited back to breakfast conversations again (at least through Friday, when I will inevitably fall behind), though they are kindly allowing me to offer previous episode discussion topics.
Pursuant to the previous topic: Someone has (of course) published an amigurumi pattern for The Child (!!!!) I haven’t crocheted in decades but I feel this is a necessary project.
Also!! The job I talked to while hanging out with D in the hospital just called back for another round of interviews, so that’s still a thing, yay
- I wrote every day and zoomed past my goal on

mini_wrimo (500 words/day) and very nearly won NaNo this year, too, omg, ending with a total of 46,042 words, holy crap. This is unprecedented. I came close to hitting 50K for NaNo, but this past weekend was a bit of a stressball even after Tgiving (kids, sigh) and I ended up doing a lot of grooming on the fic that had captured my attention rather than continuing to add words at pace.- I wrote across a lot of semi-abandoned WiPs and had success there, but my brain is still circling around Star Trek: Discovery’s Captain Pike, so that’s where the bulk of the writing went: about 10K to finish off a post S2 Pike/Tyler and about 26K to a semi-fix-it, also post-S2, Pike/Tilly (which is maybe 60% done even at that? Yeah, my brain was/is in overdrive with this one), which I haven’t started posting yet, but it’s close.
- I am shamelessly linking to that Pike/Tyler (even though there are approximately 10 fans of the pairing) b/c it’s the first thing I’ve written in forever, and I’m all \o/ about it: Take It On Faith.
- Also, thank you to everyone who stepped up for my vocabulary emergency over the weekend. I def appreciated it!
