I super believe in you, Tad Cooper!

Five Things on Friday!

1. I'm feeling a wee bit better this week than last. There are still things that need to be resolved, but I'm not quite as rage-y as I was. I probably need to find some kind of outlet for some of this stuff, but I'm not quite sure what yet.

2. My job is definitely managing to use every single skill I've ever accrued and listed on my CV. In addition to all the admin skills, it's calling upon my vet tech skills from way back in the day. I've spent the majority of the week looking at parasite eggs through a microscope. I know. *waves hands* I like it, though. It's nice to do something a little different than the usual.

3. I finally finished watching Galavant and my heart is filled with the purest joy imaginable. I'm also happily watching Death in Paradise on BBC. Not for the plots, just for the sunshine and the music. And Danny John-Jules who, fun fact, in addition to playing Cat on Red Dwarf was ALSO one of the Firey's in Labyrinth (the red feathery guys who try to take Sarah's head). Good times!

4. I was reading a writing blog that was discussing Wake-Up Calls and Turning Points and went - Ha! I've got that! I've already got that part! Holy crap, I'm in the middle of the story now! *flails* It's nice to realize that I'm firmly in the middle of things. I still need to work on fleshing things out as opposed to being very plot-point and action-oriented.

5. Well, I have a lovely bag of McCoy's Salt and Vinegar crisps that I'm going to decadently enjoy because it is Friday and I have been on my feet all week.

6. Ooh! Bonus point - I'm currently rocking a very cute outfit of jeggings, brown ankle boots, a chunky off-white jumper and a scarf with little sheep on it. Go me!

Happy Friday! ♥

*hugs again* Glad you're feeling better - I hope you find a good outlet! And you are TOTALLY at the middle- the end is totally in sight lol. Salt & Vinegar chips are totally deserved, and I bet you look super cute in that outfit. *nod nod*

I still haven't seen any of Galavant, though it's on my to-be-watched list along with half a dozen others. It's still making me boggle that I've managed to watch all of Black Sails so far in two weeks AND have kept up with the current eps of season 3. It's legit been years since I've been invested enough in a show to watch as it airs, and good lord this show is ruining my life in the best way. I'm writing an OC fic. It's been YEARS since I did that, and I find myself writing one for this stupid pirate show. I don't even recognize me any more LOL

Hee! Someone on tumblr tags their Black Sails posts with 'i've been compromised by grimy pirates'. It looks incredible and one of these days, I'll get around to watching it. Write it!!!!

Totally compromised. So, SO compromised. Billy Bones (my particular fave of the 6'5" and arms the size of my head type) is the most 1000% done with people's shit but still "loyal to a fault" Hufflepuff ever and I love him so much. The man is a genuine problem, I tell you. PROBLEM. Basically it will ruin your life, and you should def watch it lol.

And yeah, I'm already 1200 words in of what clearly will only be the first chapter. Accidental bigbang could likely happen. Oops? LOL

You know if they end up doing Het Big Bang this year, it could qualify...

(Totally thought I'd replied to this - oops? LOL) And I'm tempted, but I've realized I have a hard time with the delayed gratification comment/kudos wise with Big Bangs. Half the fun of fanfic is ready feedback for me. It helps keep me moving forward on my original fics even though I don't have any feedback on them. If that makes sense? LOL

See if there's a pool in town! Or if someone will let you angrily lift things! Aggressive swimming and aggressive (safely) lifting things is a great outlet for WANTTOPUNCHEVERYTHING.

And yay for job skills! I hope the sheep are nice.

There's a decent gym at the leisure centre, I think! Including a pool. It also helps to go for a long walk by the seafront, especially if the winds are super fierce. Talk about a workout to just stay upright!

Work actually helped this week. Doing fairly precise things that required a lot of concentration - it helped me find my zen a little. ;D

The sheep are very nice. I've actually been invited to help with lambing which is in a few weeks. Sometimes they need people to push stuff, um, back inside. Yeah. It's a good job.

It was a good week! :D And I'm going to match your Chapel icon with one of mine! I still think of McCoy/Chapel fondly and as my true OTP.
