*waves* Yep, going to give journaling a shot again. We'll see how it goes, but hey.

Life's... life. Ups and downs, you know how it goes. Hubs is looking for a job again, hopefully the next one happens quickly.

I'm trying to get back into writing again. To that end, I signed up to Rough Trade next month. I'm both very excited and frankly, scared at the prospect. Two week-long segments to write a 9-10k story in respectively SGA and HP fandoms. Oh, and did I mention that it's daily posting, no betaing allowed? Yep, it'll be interesting ;-)

Been crashy and flaring with the weather changing. Today's a "I don't have a brain"-day, so I've been working on mindless knitting. I'm hoping to work through my WIPs and finish stuff.

Have a garden for the first time. It's going okay, I suppose, though some of the things are going yellow. I've had a ton of sugar snap peas, though, which is cool. And the strawberries are spreading like crazy, but not too many berries as of yet.

Eh, that's about all I have in me right now.

Mmmmm. Your description of your garden made me smile. I've wanted to have one for a long time; I have the land for it. But I spend so little time at the house, the deer and rabbits would get it all!

[naelany.livejournal.com]

you can work around the rabbit issue, though

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Yes, but not the not being home part. :-)

[naelany.livejournal.com]

no, but if you're home enough to cook, you have time to keep a garden, depending on what you plant and how you go about it. It'd take a couple of days to set everything up and get started, but after that you should be okay

I have to giggle at the suggestion that I might actually cook. :-)

[naelany.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing you're not one for the kitchen, then?

My life would be so much simpler if Purina made People Chow. Not *of* people, mind you (that would be Soylent Green) but FOR people. Just think: no fuss, no muss. You get up in the morning and have a cup of People Chow. You come home in the evening, same again. Getting heavy? There's People Chow Lite! Over 50? There's People Chow Senior!

Yep. It would greatly simplify my life!

I frequently make my characters good cooks. It's the closest I ever come to cooking myself. :-)

They have something for that. It's called frozen TV dinners or canned foods. Mind, you're putting your health at risk with those "meals", but hey. ;-)

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

True. My guts aren't all that happy with me these days as it is. I put that down to no longer having the digestion of a teenager any more though!

[naelany.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking it's a small part of it, but the larger part would be the foods and beverages entering your body ;-)

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I know. I've had the full GI workup done. I only ate four things to begin with, and now most of those are off my list. That's why I say life would be easier if I could get dog kibble. :-)
