A fly by post....

Gosh, I'm so woefully behind in... everything. I'm feeling better, though, so that of course means I have all kinds of laundry and cleaning and just *stuff* piled up waiting to be tackled. I made a good dent in All The Things on Sunday, but Monday I was reminded my stamina isn't *quite* there yet. >.<   Nothing dire, just that getting my Dad's weekly groceries yesterday left me a lot more wiped out than it normally does. So, today is a stay-home day where I'm going to take it a little easier and, fingers crossed, get caught up on some writing, which I haven't done since my surgery because Brain Fog. Ugh. It takes a while for anesthesia to make its way out of the body, and then of course there's the whole "body is sucking up energy for healing so, Brain, you're just gonna have to take a number" thing. And Brain meanwhile is bouncing around in my skull using up its precious energy resources blurting random things at me like, "ARAGORN WHAT ABOUT ARAGORN THERE'S NOT MUCH ARAGORN H/C OUT THERE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????????"

or, "BOWEN!!! BOWEN AND HIS COWS AND GOBLINS AND FLORA AND OWEN ESTEL AND ALL THE BREE THINGS!!!!!!"

And, since seeing Captain America: Winter Soldier, my brain added another layer to the cacophonous chorus,

"BUCKBUCKYBUCKYBUCKYOMGPUPPYEYESDOSOMETHINGFORHIMHELP....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*cough* Ahem. Yeah. That character has smacked me straight in the feels, and tumblr, YOU ARE NOT HELPING. Although it's a perfect diversion during brain fogginess, I must say. (I also may or may not have ordered the Ed Brubaker Captain America: Winter Soldier comics.... okay, yeah, I did. Found Vol 1 & 2 gently used online and they'll be coming in a week or so. I've not read a comic book in years, since I was a kid, really, so I'm looking forward to getting these and wallowing in Winter Soldier feels catching up on the Cap canon that the movies are more or less following.)

And then there's Domino, who has decided that he must sleep ON TOP OF ME every night. Eurgh. I know on paper that sounds so, "Awwww, sweet!!!" But he's heavier than he looks. And he kicks and twitches. So sleep has been a little disrupted. Which contributes to the Brain Fog.

But rest assured, I'm reading everything here at LJ, from comments left on mine to everyone else's posts. I'm not commenting in return much, which kills me, but eventually I'll get caught up with everything and get back to annoying everyone actually conversing with everyone again.

*hugs to all*

I did mean the question in a teasing 'get-writing!' manner, but you're right, there's precious little happening.

If my muse ever makes her way back from hiding, there is a better than even chance of Aragorn fic happening, but she'll need to come back first...

I know... but, but, but... I wanna to read OTHER people's stories!!

*whines*
*makes petulant face*
*thinks about stomping feet but that might not be a good idea until I'm fully healed*
*figuratively stomps feet then*

Okay, what can I do to help make this happen?? Send chocolate? Ice cream? Cat treats to keep you cats quiet so you can think Deep Aragorn Thoughts?????? Just let me know. I'll even update my passport and count the couch change....

Between doing member registration for the allotment, being one of the organisers for the Dutch Tolkien society meet-up in about a month, and work being extremely busy, I can't quite get the brain into (thinking-about-)writing mode even when I have the time in theory. I can manage to nudge existing stories/chapters forward by about a hundred words a week, but can't find the inspiration for anything new. [/whinge]

That's more than I'm managing at the moment. :/

Here's to life granting us time and energy for the muse to do more than cringe in the back of the closet hiding from All The Things.
