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.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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.

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!!

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.

amyth, I'd love to get your hospital address when you get the chance. I've been thinking about you and sending lots of love!

Yes, I would like the hospital address as well. Would it be easier if someone here had the address and people messaged them if they wanted it?
My nieces are off of school today. So I have put them to work reorganizing some of Francesca's things.
