I have not! I think I'm gonna need to acquire a snorkel.

YES! You must snorkel. It's worth accidentally getting a sea urchin in your ankle.
I think my writing problem is that it's now long enough that fuck canon refresh, I have to go back and refresh my memory as to what I've already written. I just popped it into Scrivener today. After about 16k, Written? Kitten! was getting confused, and Google Docs doesn't give me the automatic word count update I use so I can set a milestone. Tonight, that milestone is for me to hit 20k. I can totally do that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My big need-to-revisit-canon fic is my first work in Scrivener. I'm kind of loving it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You must snorkel.
Yes, you really must.

I just wrote myself a cryptic note! It's awesome!
I should write myself another one that says, "YOU CHANGED THIS OC'S LAST NAME. PLEASE REMEMBER."
Usually, a beta will catch that, but I haven't written anything this long that's made it to actual beta stage in years.

I'm having major fibromyalgia this morning -- surely related to the past couple days of working and S N O W. So I'm not driving, even though my neighborhood is currenly at a 4.0 Surge pricing (which translates to pretty hefty fares).
Yes, you literally cannot pay me enough to make me drive this morning.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hope the rest does you good, Theo.
I somehow convinced myself, when I woke up at 4 am as I often do (just awake enough to know I don't want to be awake, not enough to get up and do anything) that it didn't matter because it's the weekend (wtf subconcious?) and if I ever got back to sleep I could keep sleeping. No, self, that is not how it works. Slightly better to not have anxiety about not being asleep, though, I suppose.

Cat rages are never fun.
Ah, Theo, I hope you're feeling better soon.
So we had about a foot of snow, followed by ice pellets, followed by rain, followed by a flash freeze. It means you can mostly walk on top of the snow, which is good because almost none of the sidewalks are plowed.
We had a delayed work start of 1.5 hours this am. Which gave me time to shovel and caffeinate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
God forbid anything should be officially not business as usual here. I was actually lucky enough to have my normal commute (subway -> bus) running more or less OK.
Take care of yourself, Theo.

On the downside, I'm sort of accidentally wearing my most grody sweater. I kind of forgot how grody it is.
