blamebrampton: 15th century woodcut of a hound (Default)

My priorities: slightly flawed

Good news: I have FABULOUS hair, with really, really red stripes poking out from the dark black on three levels. And I discovered that Martin Millar has written a sequel to Lonely Werewolf Girl, called Curse of the Wolf Girl, which is just as idiosyncratically brilliant as everything else he has ever written. And because I have the Surprise!Kindle, I could order it and read it immediately, which I did!

Bad news: Which means I did not finish Fathers this weekend, missing the June 5 festivities.

Good news: But I do have 10K off with the betas and 1.6 of the final 3 scenes written! It will be done! I will be able to move on!

Bad news: So much to do once I finish it, aiya!

Good news: Seriously, the hair is amazing and worth four hours effort ;-) It has cheered me up enormously after three and a half weeks having to wear the same boots thanks to the stupid new orthotics (NB, size 41 boots, not size 37, to fit the orthotics in. I feel as though I am wearing clown shoes!) Strangely, I wore the same boots for months or even years in my teens and twenties without minding. Those days are gone ...

Yes I am quite sure Doc Maarten's now are as alien to you now as thigh high biker boots and leather go-go shorts are to me. Age 50 means I no longer need to apply sun tanning lotion in order to slide into my clothing. Hope you are well and the hair sounds fab!

Peace,
Bubba

Ironically, they were one of the few boots I could wear the other month when I was just trying to keep my foot supported, but they give me horrible blisters when I wear them with the new orthotics. Shame, I was enjoying my return to kickerbootdom ;-)

Am well, how are you? My goal is to wear hotpants at 50 (but with opaque tights, I'm kind to others).
