Ugh, Strix. That is a whole lot of no good.
And Trump is officially President.
Well, officially President-Elect. We do still have one more month.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Paris, MO is where the silo is.
Oh. Huh.

The plumber is coming out tomorrow, and we sucked up what we could with the shop vac. And there's a drain in the basement powder room. D went out and got a case bottled water, and bleach for clean up. If the fixing lasts longer than tomorrow, I know we can go over to my BFFs house and shower.
The fridge, I cleaned and sanitized already and the garage is nature's icebox right now, so it's dealable. Just a super shite week for it to all happen.
I'm self-medicating with a novel, very lemony ice water and cats.

Ugh. That sounds awful Strix. Reminds me of the Christmas when the pipes burst and everyone got stomach flu.

This is probably not the thread for it, but I have a friend I recently found out is fannish--but in more of a media way and less a story way? But I introduced her to Yuletide and AO3, but also was hoping someone could suggest any good recs sites that are somewhat general (besides PolyRecs?) Or writers that are just generally amazing?

Sue, Strix, I'm sorry. None of that is good.
I'm whiny as fuck trying to adjust to my temporary limitations. It's probably crazy I've done 9+ miles walking fast in the last 3 days (not sure of the track size, assuming quarter mile or more based on times) but also crazy I'm on 15 dozen cookies and had to talk myself outta another 5 outloud tonight. I get the swimming prohibition, I'm just a week out with 4 incisions that itch and ache deep into insides and I need to let the derma heal, but damnit I MISS THE STRETCH AND THE STROKE AND THE PULL AND THE RHYTHM AND THE ZEN AND THE WATER FLOWING PAST ME AND EVEN THE CHLORINE.

Sarameg, are you on steroids?? Or just being driven batty through inactivity? I'm in awe.
Strix, that is indeed sucky.
msbelle, I think I'd prefer Buffista Island in Scotland, though a bunker may be more of a good plan at this point. Eek.

meara, your friend is unlikely to get bored of Polyrecs anytime soon!
I'm afraid the older sites I know are likely to have a lot of dead links.
However if she finds something she likes on AO3, she can backtrack to the author's other work, or look at the author's bookmarks.

Driven batty. I haven't even needed Advil since weds or thurs. (ETA:I actually don't want to eat any of these cookies. Maybe 1. I like baking cookies about 10k more than I actually like eating cookies. It's odd.)
I really hope my surgeon takes off the steristrips on weds. Incisions itch but those things do too. Starting to catch on everything.

Ugh, dealing with a boil. I can see why people were afraid of being cursed with these things.
