Wednesday we got hit with not one but two low pressure systems hanging over the midwest. This meant I ached. I wanted to stay in bed, take prescription pain relievers and sleep it off.

unexpected guest

My mother and brother are avid photographers. They both stood at the back door watching while this bird strutted around the yard. Brother eventually picks up the camera and says: "The viewfinder is empty".
*head/desk* Yup, dingdong didn't take the lense cap off. By the time Mr. Sg got out our el-cheapo camera and got near a window, the bird was done laughing it's ass off at the humans and began to fly away. To add insult to this episode, he curved close to the house, out over the maximum part of the yard then flew out of sight.

1) I'm grateful for my family, friends, and pets. (hugs f-list)
2) I am glad to be able to help prepare a big meal for family tomorrow.
3) I'm grateful to the stock people at the store who work for corporations and not the grocery chain that were smiling, happy and helped the short person reach things.
4) I am glad to be able to pay most of my bills on time.
5) I'm grateful to have one of the girls home for this holiday, even if she does leave the house lights on at all hours.

So, what are you all grateful for this week?

Last week, I mentioned how the maternal unit's doc likes to spin the wheel and come up with scary shit to pay off his condo had diagnosed Mom as having major scary illnesses. This has happened each holiday season for the last three years.

Recently, some kind soul who I am sure meant well emailed me a link to a medical article. This was the type of thing written in highly detailed language and will hopefully in the future either be refuted or be dumbed down so the lay person can understand it better.
The way I interpreted it (remember, I put sexy in dyslexic) was that fibro is related to multiple scro - M.S.
I tried to read this thing in a brighter light. Couldn't manage it. Now, I am wanting to send a reply email to the alarmist jerk person who thought they were being nice.

What do you think of this:

Thank you so much for that little ray of sunshine. Would you care to pee on my Post Toasties to make my day complete? Just in case you missed the memo, Sg is a depressive along with having fibro. This lovely article has set me to thinking all sorts of lovely thoughts more appropriate to a chainsaw massacre than to the holiday season.
In conclusion, I really hope you drop a frozen turkey on your foot, get backed over by a semi and that a 50 pound buzzard takes a dump on your head.

So, is this too snarky?

Gotta share one happy link check this out I think unbroken_halo and I need this tote bag.

In the meantime, I'm going to curl up somewhere and wait for unsuspecting feet to lick nibble on. Anyone want their toes chewed?

Thanks to the_minx_17, I have not experienced helium hand and volunteered to pinch hit. blame it on the phase of the moon...I volunteered.

I spent this afternoon writing on my Nano attempt.

7948 / 25000 words. 32% done!

I looked over what I had, scrapped a section, did a rewrite and my goal will be 25K by the end of the month. Anything above that number is a bonus at this point.

I keep seeing pleas for pinch hitters. Somebody stop me from volunteering. Seriously, there's enough going on around here....

the_minx_17 wrote a wonderful post yesterday about bdsm. Her post inspired irana to write a post on consent.

I'd like to add a few thoughts on Polyamory.

My name is sg. I play in an organization that expects its members to behave in a chivalrous manner and show respect to all who attend their events no matter their orientation. As a result of this, I have met folks who practice Polyamory.

Migraines still are not fun.
knitting like a fiend keeps my thoughts away from how little the meds help.

fledermaushund had updated her journal. She's feeling contemplative. I think she's decided she wants to help a family out instead of receiving presents for Jule this year.

Can we say "doh"? Sure, sure we can. LMFAO!

three days of no writing along with one day in which I couldn't log onto here. fic back from beta reading *snogs eeyore9990*

I swear mother nature was messing with my mind this weekend. Had a wasp in the kitchen, went for fly swatter, enter room and no wasp, just the biggest spider I've seen in my house. Put swatter away, enter kitchen and spider was gone, lady bug was in its place. 0.o

No writing today on the Nano story. I was up early for me and off running around doing sales calls. This meant I had no clue what was happening in Texas until the news came on at 5. To say the least, I was shocked and am wondering how flisters in that area and with relatives in the military are doing.

Tomorrow marks the one week anniversary and I will be spending a bit of time with the parish Priest at the pet cemetery. Hopefully this will help me stop being so easily upset.

so, how is everyone else doing?

cleaning continues. we have a few throw rugs left to wash. the sofa was steam cleaned today. I may finally sit down to my submission for severusbigbang It's been ignored while I dealt with life.

Humor helps me cope. After alisanne's lolcats post the other day, I decided to pull up the macros that have been done of my crew over the last few years. Much silliness ahead I hope you enjoy the fur kids.

I really do need to have a security camera system installed so I can catch the insanity that is living with pets on film. I have other shots that need to be macro'd and will post them before too long.
