Another much-belated (my fault, not theirs) Christmas package from @junker5 -- so glad I was able to make last year a little brighter! Thank you for the card and giftcard, the disinfectant caddy (I have already put one of my millions of tiny bottles into it) and of course the toys for kitties! Dearborn played with that specific toy all afternoon and then passed out on it.

Hey Sci! Just checking up on you after your crash in the kitchen. New stove in? You ok? Hugs to you, head scratches to the furry ones!
Kitchen is... Doneish.
My laptop died.
My last backup had a lot of corrupted files, so I, uh, I lost what I feel like is a lot of fic. Which, you know, is a bit exhausting? And hard to get past? Because it feels like I am not? Making progress? And now I’m actively backsliding? Which really sucks?
I got my brakes replaced.
I had a con like, two weeks ago and I have another one like, two weeks from now.
I am, needless to say, between cons, brakes, kitchen and new laptop, taking extra shifts work, because money. Is a thing. Which is also not helping with the writing.
SO.
In conclusion.
I’m a goddamn mess. And I’m going to have some ice cream. 8D
Just checking in on yall. Wanting to see how yall are coping after the storm. Hope all is well with you and the kids, and with tisfan and her family, too.
Aw, thanks for looking in on us!
@tisfan and I were ready to evacuate -- heading west and up into the mountains to stay with friends there -- but Florence veered south to come ashore in the Carolinas (instead of southeast Virginia, where we live), and we both opted to remain home instead.
If you look at satellite maps, the top edges of the hurricane are right on top of us, but it hasn’t done more here than drop some occasional rain, to be honest. Not even all that much rain, just occasional sprinkles that last for about ten minutes and then go away again.
Tisfan is a little further south (about 50 miles) and also closer to the coast and sea level, so a lot of businesses and stuff near her are closed due to evacuations, and she’s had a couple of power flickers, but we’re in more or less constant contact, and we’re all doing just fine.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with everyone in the Carolinas who are riding out the brunt of the storm -- I saw a video just this morning from my mom’s hometown in North Carolina, with houses with rooms holding two or three feet of water in them, and cars in the street in water up to their windows. Here’s hoping all our readers in those areas were able to find somewhere safe to go and that they aren’t too badly impacted.

An alternate Sandbridge ? That'll be angsty as all get out. Thanks for entertaining us!!!
Yeah, the premise is a little angstier. It started with someone asking us for headcanon on what the crew would do if there was no Dockside... and we ended up writing it... it’s different. Bucky is a little more bitter, Tony is a lot more fatalistic.
It ends up focusing on different people; Wanda and Peter become Tony’s best friends... Pierce is a major player. We still get to see the Commandos... and Becca and Billie show up a LOT earlier.
junker5 replied to your post: i am feeling so weird tonight
You recently changed meds /adjusted meds didn’t you? Maybe that’s affecting you more than you realize. Cudfle up in a blanket burrito with a good fic/book /Hope you feel better soon.
yeah i got some new stuff to take a month or two ago, i think it’s mostly that i haven’t interacted with any people this weekend. i’m talking to a friend on the phone which i think is helping

I know Chicago is huge....but I can’t help but worry about one of my favorites when I see ugly Chicago news on my news feed.
Hope you and your girls are safe & well!
It probably says something about Chicago that I went to the Trib and couldn’t tell which news story might have worried you...
But yes I am fine! The weather is ugly but the Cryptids and I are inside and warm. Currently Polk is napping on top of a couch cushion, and Dearborn is in my lap washing her paws and giving her claws a nibbling.

Have you had your second shot yet, Sam? I never felt “bad” after my second shot, other than a sore arm. I did however break out in a rash all around the injection site…but I’ve been known to do that with a tetanus shot. I’m so happy you are almost able to see your folks again. My mom has not seen my brother in over a year. It’s so hard. Take care!
No, I’m not quite at 28 days yet -- I’m hoping to get the second shot this week or early next. It seems like everyone has different levels of reaction to the Moderna -- my stepdad was fine, my mother basically had a terrible flu for two days. I did pretty well with the first one so I think I’ll be okay, but I’m planning to take a day or two just in case.

Could you make one for your Animal Crossing farm (no idea if that’s possible. I don’t play it)?
No, you can’t quite do that level of customization, which is a shame -- but in theory I could build a very large version in Minecraft, which I’ve been getting back into lately. I’ve found it oddly soothing in a way I never did before to just spend all my time and resources building a large mansion for myself with ranchland out back. (I just finished the sauna.)
Here’s someing I haven’t done in a while -- POST OFFICE BOUNTY!
The “Moods of Orangutan” postcard (and a couple of others!) were sent to me from @levynite so I can send them to my mother, who is obsessed with a) birds and b) Orangutans. Levy she is gonna SCREAM.
Mickey Mouse is from @scifigrl47....SOMEDAY SCI. SOMEDAY.
@junker5 sent me an awesome birthday card for about a four year old, as I am internally, and a Target giftcard, thank you! I love the card and I will spend the giftcard unwisely :D
E&N sent me a recipe for DEATH BY POISONED CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES back in July, but because I’m a loser I just retrieved it. Truly delightful for Halloween as well!
And lastly an anonymous friend from Michigan sent me a lovely letter with a red wax seal -- I didn’t know if you wanted it made public so I left most of it covered. But I really appreciate the expression of trust you sent and I hope to continue to deserve it! And I don’t know exactly when your birthday is, it may have passed, but Happy Birthday regardless!
Finally, I have to admit that I am not the most organized human and I think there may have been a set of letters that I received and read and loved but never posted -- I think I know where they are so I promise that when I find them I will post them. And my apologies if you haven’t seen yours! I do read and enjoy every single one.
