seren_ccdSeriously, I'm not sure what's up with me lately, but when I set out to do a thing - I end up REALLY DOING A THING.
Examples:
1. We went to look at a flat on a Friday. We signed the lease on Monday and moved in the following Saturday aka four days ago. So...I'm in a new flat? Yay?
No, it's good. It's a huge flat. Two bedrooms and in a very bizarre layout and well within our price range. It, unfortunately, as we've since discovered, has one of those metal plates above what I presume was the old-fashioned way of getting into the cellar and this plate is located on the pavement JUST beneath the window for the front room. So cue a big CLANK every time someone walks on it. Which is a lot. However, you can't hear it in the bedroom, so that's nice.
2. I'm still working on my two original novels and making progress. But, I'm also writing three fics. *facepalm* I think I'm just throwing stuff out there and seeing what happens. I'll finish them! I will. I just, ugh, so many projects.
3. My job! Holy crap. I was asked a few months back if I minded doing stuff in the lab, to which I replied, 'No, of course not! It's fun!' Cue the last three weeks of me being in the lab doing experiment after experiment, writing down the data, interpreting the data, and setting up new experiments. WHAT?! How did this even happen? I'm even showing the new PhD student how to do all this. I'm a lab manager! ME! WHAT?!
4. And finally - I'm baking this cake this weekend because if you're going to bake a cake, why not bake a three-layer chocolate marzipan cake with pistachios: Pistachio Petit Four Cake .
Possibly as result of all the above, my period came very early and I took today off because of my abdomen yelling at me rather loudly. Imma go make some tea.
Happy Wednesday? ♥

I really do know how you feel - I'm supposed to just be admin and right now am doing major edits on scientific journal submissions & a textbook. It's like "It's awesome yall think the English major knows what any of these equations actually mean but...." LOL
Hope you feel better hon - a hot water bottle or heating pad is always my go-to those days!

Date: 2016-03-09 07:24 pm (UTC)My other fics are a fic for Heroine Big Bang and a From Dusk till Dawn fic where the ladies are calling the shots. Oh, God - Beth/Daryl. Those two. I don't even watch the show anymore after what they did (do you want spoilers?), but I loved those two.

See? This is what we get for being competent. :P

Date: 2016-03-09 09:14 pm (UTC)Very nice! I know nothing about the Dusk till Dawn tv fandom sadly - I keep meaning to get there, but just haven't managed it yet. Which fandom heroine are you focusing on for the Big Bang? Any body I'd recognize? Can I beta all the things? ;) And already seen the spoilers which is why I hadn't read your fics initally as I didn't want to get myself involved in a doomed pairing but but but... Seren fics make me smile usually (they also occasionally rip out my heart, but you do what you gotta do LOL)
Competency is lame, clearly. Except in a competency kink fic sorta way, but currently definitely overrated in RL. LOL
