"The Three Muskateers, Part Three! You wouldn't have liked Part Two, it was all plot."

...y'all are sure I don't owe you stuff, right? Because I've got no clue right now, so you could tell me pretty much anything and I'd believe you.

Things are definitely picking up here, in good ways, although I could do with more of the picking up and less of the tired. Since that's always the way, I'm not worrying too much and aiming for earlier nights.

But (are you ready for this?) today I am awesome because I cycled to work through the rain, which I didn't want to do. Yesterday I was awesome because I didn't eat the chocolate cake in the library even through I wanted to. On Monday I was awesome because I went to my Slimming World group after a month away. I am also awesome because I've made the hospital appointment I need (beating off the phone system with a stick), I'm working on getting some other help and I'm still sticking to my eating plan, despite the chocolate cookies in the staff room. They're my 'working late' treat, and I'm not going to have one til the end of the day. *stays strong*

Yup, that's three days of awesome, folks. *buffs nails* So come on and tell me - how are you awesome today? And getting out of bed totally counts.

I had a very cool idea for a Macguffin last night, and I think it's going in the story I'm brewing for azure_chaos, which will also be my first NCIS story. Apparently mainlining S1 and S2 for a few days has given me the bug.

There's still lots to do and a long, long way to go before I feel close to better again, but I figure I'm making a good start :) Also, my list-table is getting bigger, although that's not necessarily a good thing...

You owe me something! Um... remember?

...okay, not really. I just like it when you write me stuff ;)

Also: NCIS fic! \o/ That fandom needs you *makes encouraging noises* No, seriously *begs*

*hugs for the rest* Yay you for not being defeated by evil phone system! *twirls you*

Hmmm...technically I think I owe you "Five time Sheppard never saw it coming." I swear I can write the Gen version ;)

Hee, thanks! We'll see - the macguffin is way cool if I can make it work.

I want to steal your table code.

Whee, three days of awesome for you! *cheers*

Me, I'm not even getting out of bed today. I did yesterday, and it turned out badly, so. *snuggles under comforter*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*grin* It's just a table, I promise. If you wanted to do any of them stuff inside the table, be my guest ;)

*tucks you in* that sounds like a very good plan!

Getting out of bed counts? Whee! I'm awesome. (In truth, I think I should have taken this week off because I'm tired, not motivated to be at work and have found an alarming number of things that got screwed up over the past two weeks when I was sick.)

You are majorly awesome, and I love how organized and efficient your table is. Somehow massive things are not so terrifying when you lay them out like that.

I love writing lists. The trouble comes when I try to do the stuff on them... This week feels a little like a snowball - as each day goes by, I'm getting a little more done. It's not getting easier, but it is getting better.

Ack, I hate finding stuff I screwed up when I was sick - doesn't help with the feeling better! - but at least you found it.

And you are always awesome :D

*Waves hand and offers beta services for NCIS*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*giggle* When I get there... After everything else I'm meant to be writing...

Thanks!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Sorry. *ahem* Got a wee bit excited there. Yes. Eventually. When you get to it.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

...in a century or two...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I should probably stop bouncing then

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee. You'll wear the trampoline out!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I shall eat donuts while I wait then I think.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

I just wish to point out you are awesome all the time, whether you cycle through the rain or not!

*hugs*

I'm just catching up on my flist. You truly have been awesome this week and that list table is organisation personified. You win an Abby stamp of Awesome :D

How I've been awesome today (which obviously isn't the day that you posted the question): I've not spent the day bitching and whining and generally feeling sorry for myself after tripping and falling yesterday. I have been awesome because I've been able to laugh at it and cheer my guys up over it (they were the ones who were being all doomy over it). So, I think I'm doing pretty well.

Now all I need is to be able to get on with writing my apocalyptothon fic *headdesk* why does everything have to be long when I write it, why am I incapable of a short sharp 1000words *sigh* I envy people who can be succinct and still tell a wonderful fic.

/ramble.

ETA: Also, I await your first NCIS fic with an impressive amount of patience (impressive for me that is ;) ) I'm looking forward to it :)

*grin* I appreciate your patience. The story is currently pink in my head, which means it isn't ready yet. When it's ready, it'll go purple, and when it's done, it's going to be blue.

...I fear my brain will never be like other people's. ;)

That's definitely being awesome. It's hard when it's *your* problem and you feel you have to make *others* feel better about it, so go you *\o/* (I don't break out the pom poms for just anyone, you know ;))
