brief leave of absence + nanowrimo + writing

[janie_tangerine]

So it looks like the low fever is there just because of the viral infection that made me get it in the first place. Now the infection is gone but the fever is something like a coda to that, but since I've been told it'll go away in two weeks I'm now behaving as I didn't have it at all. It's not like I felt it in the first place during the last three days. Meanwhile...

Yay! I was really hoping to get there before this weekend. Reason? My grandmother turns 80 this Friday so I'm leaving tomorrow night for Sicily and coming back on Saturday night. As long as the internet point is still there I should be able to catch up though, so I shouldn't be totally not around. I'm bringing the laptop also for school stuff, but since I need to be able to do research on the spot I'll lay the novel off until Monday and probably write something else at random. I was thinking either Boone/Alex or Boone/Claire, even if the second is barely an idea while for the first I have a plot so maybe I should go with the first. And I'll also probably spend both nights on the train (since I never get to sleep on trains) to plot my Lost Hohoho assignment, which made me absolutely delighted. And that's all I'll say on the subject until December or so I hope ;)

Also, I finished the first season of Six Feet Under and it was brilliant. Thankfully it didn't end with any cliffhangers of sorts and so I can wait to get the second. But I really loved it. And I guess that's all for now and until I get in the hellhole, which won't probably get benefit from the current weather.

I'm glad the infection is gone, and I hope the fever will disappear really soon too, and more considering you'll be on Sicily. OMG, I'm so jealous, I'm sure it's really pretty in there. Happy bday to your grandma, btw!

51%!!! That's the way to go!

Oh man, isn't the fever down yet? That's nasty. At least the infection is gone, that's good news! :)

Wow, you're doing great on the fic! Congrats!

And Happy Birthday to your grandma! I hope you'll be around, I need someone to squee with over the new SPN epi and you're always my most reliable source for that! :D

So glad to hear you're finally feeling a little better. Viral infections can be such a pain in the --- everywhere. Maybe spending some time away will cheer you up and help you get rid of the fever.

Happy birthday to your grandmother and congratulations on your terrific work on your Nano fic!!!

YOU ROCK! Really, NANO has nothing on you! You CONQUER! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!

And YAY for BOONE/ALEX! (AWESOME!) AND BOONE/CLAIRE!!!!

I am so busy that I have to quit fic for a while - I'm going to use inspiration to write the assignment and some other gifts I want to make to people.:)

Have fun and good luck with all those writing projects!

Feel better, hon. And enjoy the train ride and visit!

I'm just getting over being sick so I totally can relate with how you're feeling. I really hope you get better soon!

Have fun celebrating your Grandma's birthday -- 80 yrs old! How awesome!

Happy Birthday Grandmother Tangerine! I hope you have a nice trip to Sicily. Thank goodness they figured out your fever. Hopefully it will be gone soon.

Congrats on the amazing nano record! You deserve a mini Boone ficlet in the meantime. I'd be interested in either Claire or Alex.

I’ve only ever seen a few episodes of SFU ages ago when I was staying with a friend who had HBO. We just got HBO in Canada and they are showing a lot of older shows. I'll be sure to keep my eye out for it.

Have a great trip!
