the_rckI just realized that the bit I was thinking of as chapter 5 of the Iddy Iddy Bang Bang story can stand alone and probably works better that way. It's less dark (but still dark) and contains no sex. If I make it a standalone, it's very near to postable.
I just hit a point in the DCU Bang story where I realized that my only POV character is going to be unable to follow the big events of the second half of the story. I know the general shape of them, but none of the people involved are characters I'm solid on writing, and there are strong reasons for my current POV character to stay exactly where he is.
My July word count was 24174. That's low for this year but would be high for any other year. February is still my low word count month for the year (even if I look at words per day instead of for the month as a whole). I'm at 227K words for the year so far.
Cordelia has camp volunteering this week. I have appointments Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The Monday and Friday appointments are in the morning, so I'm definitely getting up with Cordelia those days, but I know I can't do it all five days. I'm not sure what will work best.
It apparently takes very little stress to make my right shoulder go way out of whack again. Scott and I got upset over a miscommunication today, and my shoulder hurts like hell. It was pretty minor. I texted him to suggest going for milkshakes at a particular place (Cordelia had said earlier that she wanted one). Ten minutes later, he said, "So, milkshakes?" and then said McDonald's. I took that as a response to my text and a rejection of my suggestion in favor of something that would cost less.
I didn't point out that McDonald's milkshakes make me sick until some time later, and he and I were both upset with the other. Cordelia just didn't want us talking about it while she was driving us home from the library. The whole kerfluffle lasted maybe 45 minutes, and ended with Scott going to Cottage Inn to get milkshakes, but I feel like my neck and shoulder got yanked out of alignment.
Tomorrow's my last PT appointment, and I'm not quite sure what to do. The exercises help but only if I don't have added stress. Added stress is outside the scope of PT, but I'd really love not being in physical pain on top of every upset.
I'm looking back over the last week and feeling as if the events at the beginning of it were ever so much longer ago than they actually were.
