Abed. Sick. Miserably sick.

Just like the week between the cruise and our California trip, two days after getting home last week, Harry and I took ill. Thursday night, he topped out at 103; I was pushing 104.5. We've been resting, drinking a lot of soup, and eating mashed potatoes and jello over the past three days, and his temperature is finally normal, although I'm still over 101. Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ivyblossom for cheering me up when I've been wibbly in the middle of the night.

I feel like I haven't done anything in 6 weeks, between the traveling, the sickness and the damned scholastic book fair, which was already six weeks ago, sigh. I have half a dozen FA projects to do and since I haven't been able to sit at the desktop while sick, and hadn't brought it traveling, I'm behind on each of them - without the amazing mods, coders, uploaders & paul, everything wouldve fallen apart. Sigh.

I need to work on my ficlet for the FA challenge - I can't paste the link here on the sidekick, but if you want to participate, you can find it at the top of http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/forums - click on the link to get to it. I have a plot and a theme and I just need to write it.

One thing I managed to do this week is set up a soopersekrit LJ - I don't mind if anyone reads to it, but I feel weird about anyone friending it. It's a daily food diary - I made it as a paid account, so whenever I eat anything, I have to email-post what I ate - consider it a way to be publicly accountable as I start a new diet. Of course, I started it the day before I took ill? So it's been vaguely useless so far, but it will be beneficial to me, I know.

And writing this has exhausted me. Am off for a nap. Everyone who's snowed in, please stay safe! And if you throw any snowballs, toss a few for me!

I admit to fangirling everything Sam 9aka copperbadge) writes, and this exceptional exploration of how Remus recovers from complete devestation is no exception. It's tissue-requiring, but there are seeds of hope amid the horror and sadness.

Even if you don't normally read Sirius/Remus, give it a chance. You'll be satisfied that you did.
