Life

I finally managed to finish my first story for Rough Trade, but I’m not so sure I’ll get very far with the second since it’s almost the end of the month. Which kinda sucks, because that’ll be the second time I’ll not get to that particular one, but ah well. Between the heat, watching kids, and my health issues, I’ve been much more tired and run down than I anticipated. Still, one finished is a win in my book.

Something that has helped a lot already as far as health stuff goes: we got a new couch. For the first time in our married life, we have a couch that is actually comfortable. And it reclines! Which is awesome, though it does present me with a bit of a conundrum. I was hoping to get a standing frame for my cross stitch, but this couch has a metal frame at the bottom, meaning there’s no sliding anything under it. If anyone has any ideas to still get a standing frame that’ll work, I’d be happy to hear it.

Tuesday is my birthday. We have plans for that day. These plans so do not include a dentist in any form. I broke a tooth the other day and was hoping it’d be okay to hold off going until after, but now the damn thing hurts and I’ll need to call in tomorrow. I’m really hoping I still get my day, though. I want to be able to eat whatever on my birthday, dangit.
