On the Brink of the Fritz
Jul. 9th, 2021 08:04 amThat's where you'll find my A/C, and my brain. Luckily, the former should be fixed today. The latter...well, that's pretty much its permanent address.
I had a good holiday weekend. Because I have such severe startle reactions to fireworks, and because I refused to sleep in the bathroom like I have in years past, we booked a room in a hotel in one of the city's suburbs. There were still random fireworks going off in the area, but the insulated windows muffled them sufficiently. And bonus! We were able to see two actual fireworks shows from the room! One at the shopping mall across the street from the hotel, and then the city's main display in the distance. Overall, a nice little break I sorely needed.
However, no writing figured into that break at all, nor into the days since. I still have to thank a few authors for some exchange gifts (I'm eager to share links to them once I get those thank-you comments written!), reply to a few AO3 comments, and somehow, come up with two fics for two exchanges in two weeks' time.
I am in over my head. But historically, I've always tended to do my best work from here.
If I could only shake this mid-summer lethargy, though! My days are spent with all the energy and charm of a wrung-out dishrag.
