in my head: chipper
So, I have to work tonight. But then, I'm off for five days. This wasn't scheduled, and sadly, it's not paid for, but I've put back a little money, and I'm taking it off. I hope in this time to post as much as possible. Of course, there's Thanksgiving, and at some point over the weekend I have a 'date' (not really a date, just catching up with an old high school boyfriend who doesn't live here anymore), but I should have a lot of free time. As antisocial as I've been lately, I'm hoping I don't get a dozen phone calls to hang out, because I really want to be at home, posting and doing other homey-type things.
And I wishwishwish I knew some cat ladies on here. Cat ladies that lived near me. I desperately need a home for my siamese. I've tried finding her a home around here, but no one can take her, and she's stressing me out so badly. My family has spent hundreds of dollars trying to rid my part of our home of fleas, and she's been to the vet several times. She's treated every three weeks, she's been given steroids and antibiotics, and still, I'm finding scabs. Can't find any fleas at all. Haven't seen a single one in over a month, so I'm clueless. (My cat's allergic to fleas, they can kill her.) But it's obvious she's still being bitten, even with all the medication, but it's not as bad as it was. Before, her hair fell out, and it's still growing back. She hasn't lost anymore. Even with the baths, the vet visits, etc, I feel like a horrible cat mom. Sure, she's doing better, but I haven't found a solution to the problem. Maybe if my house wasn't an add-on, the fleas wouldn't be getting in. Someone told me they could possibly be UNDER my house, and if they are, I have no idea how to remedy that. Ugh. Sucks.
I might be making a few changes on the websites, like taking links down for stories that aren't posted yet, and maybe instead putting all those stories in a list, and taking votes on what I should start next. (Only after Anna Begins is finished, though! I'm a two story at a time girl, can't handle any more than that!) I think Anna Begins will be at least 3-4 more chapters. Once I get the 36 chapters of Long Time Gone posted, I really have no idea how much more there will be. There's a lot of story left to go, and it's roughly outlined. Maybe ten? No idea, really. I'm pretty sure it's already the longest story I've ever written, so I'm definitely finding no problem in finishing it. I know it's not as popular as 'Impossible' was, but it's hands-down my favorite that I've written so far. I guess because it means a lot to me.
I'm leaning towards a re-write of 'Years Go By,' my Dawn/Spike fic (how many of you made gross faces?), or a completely new idea I had a few months ago, that I've written a quick chapter on, called 'Wicked Little Things,' which is a role-reversal fic for nearly every character. Never thought I'd do that, but it might be fun. So, I don't know. I like feedback. If anyone's interested, my emails and comments are always open. If no one's interested, chances are I'll write it anyway, lol.
