the_rckThe plumber came yesterday afternoon. The blockage was, he told me, between 25 and 30 feet along the pipe (which is about where Scott guessed it was). That was $222, but we can now use the sink again. I ran the dishwasher this morning and got no backwash at all, not in either basin.
I've done something to my left ankle. I don't recall turning it or anything. It's just hurting when I put weight on it and move it in certain ways. My hands have been hurting more, too. I'm actually wondering if changing multivitamins is having an effect on how much I'm noticing things that are hurting. I know that, when one part of my body is more urgent, other things that hurt feel less terrible until that one bit is dealt with and everything can start screaming again.
At any rate, I put on an ankle brace before I took the trash and recycling out and before I took my nightgowns downstairs to wash. I need to take it off soon because if Cordelia sees it she'll freak about me being hurt. I'm also not sure it's helping beyond reminding me to be cautious about how I move.
I have my Worldbuilding Exchange assignment and am dithering. There are three fandoms I could write. The one I actually offered is something that, given the WB and character tags, I was pretty sure I could write without major review. I am now second guessing myself and eying the length of the canon.
One of the other options is about the same length and would require a lot of review. I'm tempted because the WB tags focus on the part of canon I love most, but there are details scattered throughout that I'd need to find and take notes on. I don't actually remember details of most of that canon, either, and there are many, many details.
The final option is a single book that I haven't read in about twenty years and don't remember well in terms of plot and characters. I've been intending to reread it for a long time, but the copy I have is a little water damaged.
I've gathered the canons together for contemplation. I'll probably start with the prompts for what I actually offered and turn to one of the others if things don't flow well.
As of yesterday evening, I'm at 45K words for the month of January. I haven't written any fiction so far today. I have an in progress treat for Chocolate Box which is stalled temporarily. I have a long Sky High AU (unrelated to my other series in the fandom) that I'm letting sit so that I can try to see where the holes are. I have three or four Amber WIPs that I've added to this month, and not all of them are HoSaM related. Then there's an original fic sequel to "For These Cramped Fragments" that I started yesterday and that is mostly done. I have to name a couple of things. I also spent some time working on a Narnia story, a sequel to "Dark and Deep" that explores Peter dealing with survival in dream Charn.
Two and possibly three of the above are at the point of just needing a minor edit (the Sky High story needs a major edit). Two of those will need beta reading, and I'm just not ready to try to find someone to do that yet.
I'm going to give priority to the Chocolate Box treat since that has a due date. That one's mainly stuck because I need to make a decision about whether the AU is just happening or whether someone intervened to make it happen. I could probably do either plausibly, and I'm not sure which would be faster to write.
