Haven't updated in a while, because every time I sit down I'm determined to make myself write fic and nothing else. But that keeps not working out. I keep having ideas for other people's fics and DL scenes but none for my own. I'm feeling terribly uninspired. I should probably just hang it up for the rest of my break and go work on all that reading I said I'd do this week. We'll see.

So what's new? Niblet is at the vet right now, getting her tubes tied or whatever it is that they do to girl cats. I won't get her back until tomorrow. Jake is also at the vet getting better x-rays and stuff. This time they are knocking him out, but we'll get to pick him up this afternoon. In the meantime I need to go do some shopping and get everything together for the baby shower tomorrow. Whee.

Mom bought a car this week. She got a good deal on a barely used Buick LeSabre that belonged to Mr. Missionary's deceased father, and has hardly been driven since he died. So the minivan is mine now. Sexay, sexay minivan! Woo! Eh, at least I have wheels. And my mom is de-Jesusifying it as I type. Did I never mention that it was a Jesus van? Well, it was. But it is the Jesus-mobile no more. Not that there was anything wrong with that, but, y'know. And anyway I don't feel I should go around advertising my Christian status on the roads until I can learn to drive with more patience and less flipping people off. At any rate, I have my very own set of wheels now, so you won't have to read any more whining from me on that front.

Oh, and the missionaries are gone now, and the pneumonia that was had by Mrs. Missionary wasn't the scary lethal kind. So yay for that.

What else ... Oh! I finished all of the DL CDs. Well, mostly, I still have to label them. But that won't take long. And they're going in the mail this afternoon. So if you're waiting for CDs from me, you should get them next week. Er, if you're getting them because you donated to the site, that is. If you're getting some just because we're friends and I promised you some in a fit of generosity, those will get put together this weekend and mailed some time next week. Love ya, but paying customers are first.

That's about it for me. I enjoyed this week's Angel, but I really don't have much to say about it. I'm far more excited over the preview for next week's Buffy. Though today I'm so very, very sad that tonight is the last new episode of Farscape ever. I'll probably cry before it's over. After, too. Heck, I teared up watching the preview for it last week. Sigh.

Oh! And also, guess what's going in the mail with the CDs today? I finally got around to cleaning up one of my short stories and making it marketable. So the manuscript is off to a somewhat obscure sf/horror digest. So in a couple of months I ought to have something to add to my rejection letter file. ;-) I feel like a real writer again.
