Eclectic entry

[wiseheart]

I decided that I'm getting way too obsessed with the late 12th century Japan research. So I put it aside with a conscious effort (together with the next Tosh chapter) and dug out "Sparrows" again. Writing Cadfaelfic is an experience of serenity, which, I think, I need at the moment.

I've been working on my two sci-fi stories, featuring Tosh from Torchwood and Serina from BSG, way too "verbissen", as the Germans would say. As a result, the stories suffered, I think. The Serina story definitely did... I'll have to reconstruct the last couple of chapters and decide where to go with them.

Mum had her CT today. Now we have to wait for the results until Thursday, which means more fretting. She visited the old doc in hospital, too. Says he had a moderately bad day.

Had a bit of a headache all day. Not too bad, just annoying. Painkillers won't work; not the usual small dosis, that is, and I'm not taking more. It's probaby the capricious weather anyway.

The usual small patch on my back hurts. Either I slept in a weird position last night, or it was hit by a cold draught. Not so bad, either, but voice of experience says I'll have it at least for a week. Drat. Well, there are worse things.

School's being stressful, as always. Or I'm getting old.

I'm glad you're having fun with Cadfael fic. After having written so intensely on these two fics, a change of scenery is nice, I'm sure.

Good luck for your Mum! And you, get well soon!

Thanks. It's much better today. Perhaps the wetness of weather didn't become me, I'm not sure.

Cadfael fic is always fun... actually, more than that. It helps me focus, for some really weird reason.

Good to hear you're feeling better!

Hope all goes well with you and your Mom.

Thanks. I've written about a third of the next "Sparrows" chapter, which, considering my current lifestyle (=all work and no fun) is a respectable achievement. I love that world. I seriously hope to be able to finish this chapter durign the weekend and type up and post it somewhen next week.

Crossing fingers for Mum and for a quick recovery from both head and back pain. As a gentleman whom I worked for when he was in his 70s (and still sharp as a whip) once said, "This growing old is not for the faint-of-heart!" [pardon me while I shift my hip so my back will stop twinging]

Hehehe! So very true!
