So...

[beanside]

Whatcha all been up to?

I figured I'd tap out a quick note to give you the mini-update on life in the beanside household.

Grandmom is still in the hospital, owing to the utter fucking stupidity/incompetence of her nurses, who took her off her blood pressure medicine without telling anyone. This led to her going into atrial fibrillation on Thursday night/having another minor heart attack--c'mon, she's 92, how minor can it be?--and getting sent back down to the heart floor. So, she'll be in there for a little while longer, looks like.

Jess has a stomach bug/migrane combo that's kicking her ass at the moment, which sucks mightly. I hate her not feeling well.

Aside from that, everything else is good. Work's busy, mostly with camp forms to be filled out--god, I hate this season.

We're almost done with Of Bastard Saints, which should finish up around 230ish pages. So much for my original estimation of 70 pages and done. I'm actually really proud of it. Especially since we started writing it only about 40 days ago, and yet I think parts of it might be some of the best writing we've done. We plotted it, kept it mostly in line, and plowed through it. Next up, probably a little smutty sidestep/prequel, then the sequel, which we're hammering out the plotline for now.

Aside from that, the shoulder's a bitch, but nothing new there. I'll deal.

*nuzzle love* For lots of reasons, and because I missed you last night.

I still say 250 btw. *ducks*

Wench. It's at 246, with half a chapter to go. What happened to my 70 and out?

*cuddles* I missed you, but hopefully the sleepy time helped! I'll be around on Monday, have no fear.

You two wind up a story in less then 150 pages unheard of so it doesn't surprise me that this one is 230. I'd also like to mention that I am really really thankful that you have been there to listen and I hope Jess gets to feeling better. *sends her whatever good vibes she has*

I'll review Of Bastard Saints tonight sometime after I've gone to work. I can't even think coherantly right now. Oh and just if you're wondering what I've been up too, rereading Original Sin that I got off the Wayback Machine.

I hope your grandmom is doing a little better. I love how they use words like "minor" and "heart attack" in the same sentence. Very interesting choices there.

And dude, I read about 6 chapters of "Of Bastard Saints" yesterday because I just wanted/needed to. I fell so behind because of little time on the computer, so I'm excited to be squeezing it in. :) And it's finished, so I get to read it in a row, without pauses. There is an upside to being slow.

I hope Jess is feeling better and that your shoulder pain has lessened. *hugs*

Yeah, I don't quite get the "minor" thing. I mean, ever, but especially in a 92 year old woman. There is no such thing as minor at that point.

*laugh* I've been seeing how cut down your comp time is! Yeesh. Sounds like you're having a rough time of it with work and your body misbehaving. *gentle hugs* Hopefully you enjoy it!

Jess is getting there. The shoulder...eh. It'll behave eventually.
