Hi, yes, hello

If I have recently followed you, it's because I was following you, or we were mutuals on an account I don't even remember having.  It wasn't until I saw myself in a community that I realised I have two accounts with near-identical names.

So, hi.  Hello.  Some of you go all the way back to Sandford Police, while others are probably having war flashbacks at the mere mention of Sherlock.

Anyway, if you're following or being followed by loki_of_sassgaard that's me.  The really confusing part is I've never used underscores in this name before, and that account is two years older than this one.  So I don't know how high I was when I made a duplicate account and decided this one should be my main account now, but there it is. lmao

Hello. 

How is it March already?

I went to the pharmacy today to pick up my prescriptions, and the entire time was just bitter about it because I didn't want to be there.  I feel like I just did this the other day, but it's already been a month, and once more I had to go stand in a long line forever while bored kids tore ass through the aisles around me.  I felt bad for the mom in front of me, trying to manage two other kids while her 7-8 year old was trying to get every person in line to buy her a box of doughnuts.

I fucking hate the pharmacy.

And I mean, it's nobody's fault.  Would the line go faster if they had more than one window open?  Absolutely.  Do they pay people well enough to keep enough staff to run more than one window?  Probably not.  Just like the woman in front of me probably cannot afford to put three kids in after school day care.

I'm also quite annoyed, because you might remember last summer I got a whole bunch of dental work done.  Well, one of the fillings came loose, so that's been bugging me, so now I need to go back next week to get it fixed.  It only bothers me when I bite down wrong on something, so at least it's not something causing me constant pain.  It's just annoying cuz I'm still not done paying off all the work from last time.

I've been so fucking tired all month too.  My writing challenges have been falling by the wayside because I can't get the energy to get out of bed half the time, much less make my brain work well enough to make coherent words happen.  I've been keeping up with Unus Annus only because I've got a huge backlog of stuff to post, and only realised a few minutes ago that I forgot to do today's post.  So that's what I'll do as soon as I've posted this.  I finished writing Odinsons halfway through February, and then never wrote anything since.  It's like my brain shut off after that.  Like, okay yep, we finished a fic.  No more writing now.

Today's the final day of my husband's long weekend though, and we're going to play games together a bit later tonight.  Then after that, hopefully I can get my head on straight, but I've been saying that for a couple of weeks.  If you're wondering where the newsletter has been lately, that's where.  I literally haven't written anything, or posted anything new that wasn't already up on my site.  I've been skating by on posting old meta posts for Unus Annus, and calling it good.

But my goals for this month are to get caught up on my GYWO pledge, and to try to finish at least one other fic.  My site is pretty much fully put together, and I just want to overhaul the tags now, before I put anything else up on here.  I might do that later this week if I hit a mood where I want to feel productive, but can't make my brain work.  I'm also trying to use Dreamwidth more, in the hopes that this new LJ exodus sparks some more activity there.  I've heard people say that Dreamwidth isn't dead, but I beg to differ.  I think people who say that follow enough individual people to keep their friends page moving, but the vast majority of communities haven't updated in weeks, at best.  All of the Marvel ones are completely stalled, so I'm about to be the one loser posting all my stuff to them because yolo or some shit I guess.

If you want to follow me over there, my name is the same as everywhere else.  But now, I think I'm gonna go make some ravioli and fix some stuff up on our Sims lot before we start playing.
