Because books.

Life dropped you at a marathon on your way to work one day and now you have to run the damn thing before you can grab your coffee and check your messages.

What a perfect way to put it, Trudy. And so much love to you, amyth. If you're up for it, I'm always good for Words with Friends, and as many people here know, I'm incredibly easy to beat.

Also, with an address, I can send some bakery goodies ...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I have today off from work. I went to an open house this morning for a school we are looking at for next year for Mr. S. (They work with kids who are bright, but have social and executive functioning problems. I don't know if Mr.S 's problems would be too much for them.) After that I did grocery shopping. Although there is no PEP today, we had the nanny pick him up at the usual time, but she will bring him back a few hours earlier than usual.

Work today for me: no rest for the wicked.

We're scheduled for snow tomorrow, but only about a half inch, late in the day so with luck I will not have to drive in it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm pretty sure we're working today. What with working from home and not much of an outside-directed schedule it's a little hard to keep track. I know I have things to do and a call this afternoon.

That's a great...metaphor? analogy?, Trudy. And amyth, I can't imagine how you must be reeling from this all. Thank goodness they caught you when they did.

Oh, amyth, what a lot a lot a lot that is. I'm so happy your support network is there for you, and of course javachik sent you a package because that's just how she is.

I don't know much about GO fic, but my friend Laura Shapiro is writing a great deal of porny GO fic that is very popular and very good. She doesn't have a pseud, just look for Laura Shapiro on AO3.

Can confirm. Scorchingly hot, very very good.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

"my gosh, there is a lot of sex in this story" is one of my favorite tags.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Thanks for the Marrakech rec, Trudy. It is now at the top of the list! (Because I just started the list.) And yes, that metaphor is very apt.

IRL name and hospital addy insent to Amy and Sophia. I'll go back through the thread and see if anyone else needs it, but please also feel free to contact me directly if you'd like it or post here and I'll send it to you. Thank you all so much!

I will read any GO fic, any rating. I have read some Laura Shapiro GO fic and heartily agree. Feel free to send recs to my profile addy or just link me to rec lists or AO3 bookmarks. Whatever works! Much appreciated!!

Same.

I'll pull my list together after work. You can enjoy the results of 5 months of me reading very few books in favor of GO fic.
