Seriously, 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? ♥

Hi! Things!

1. I've been home sick with, at first, a UTI, and then a lovely reaction to the antibiotics. Seriously, I've never had a headache like the one I had yesterday in my life. I practically wrapped my pillow around my head to ease it. Today was filled with a long nap, lots of tea and water and the second season of Call the Midwife, because I love the fact that the ladies are front and center THE WHOLE TIME.

2. My Het Big Bang is making slow progress at the moment after my whirlwind of writing. BUT! It shall be done.

3. We are moving! Again! Back to Scotland! Yay?

Actually, it is Yay, we liked it up there and I think I can get a pretty good job. We've already found a decent flat for not very much in a good part of town. Hardwood floors and a view of the Firth of Tay. Although, I hate moving SO MUCH. Argh.

4. I have now seen Mad Max: Fury Road and Spy and I loved them both for pretty much the same reason. Women, front and center, being fantastic. Being badass and vulnerable and funny and, at the end of the day, taking no crap from anyone. Awesome and very entertaining. I mean, even if you aren't interested in anything apart from watching something entertaining - these two films are darn entertaining.

5. I just discovered that my local Tesco (boo, hiss!) has Libby's pumpkin in a can! *flails* I can never find this stuff over here. The amazing [livejournal.com profile] aj had to post me some once! They're probably SO overpriced, and I know it's summer, but I'm making pumpkin pie this weekend, I don't even care.

How is everyone? Staying cool?

Happy Thursday! ♥
