The eye barely hurts and the swelling is down enough that I can open my eye. It's blurry still but getting better.

I will NOT be doing [community profile] fandomtrumpshate this year. I missed that the sign up was basically 10 days, no other warning after the first and I was too busy with my pro stuff but you know what I am okay with that. I can bid on people to help out and that is one less fan thing to distract me from stuff I get paid to do. I feel more relief than disappointment.

In the good news department The Owl House lives again in graphic novel form. I'm super excited for this




Here's the fandom meme I've been wanting to do. I got this from [Unknown site tag] who mentioned there are two versions of this meme: one where you post the FIRST line/s of the FIRST posted fic of each month and one where you post the FIRST line/s of ALL the fics you've posted in a year. While I am making this a fannish 50 celebrating ME and my contributions to fandom (which I think we all should do from time to time) But since I will be here til next week trying to do ALL my stories, I shall go with the first story. Enjoy. Read if you're so moved.

January - Why Do Fools Fall in Love Hazbin Hotel, Angel adored the flying pole Husker had installed on his stage.

February Where Fashion Sits Hazbin Hotel, There’s more to her than anyone thinks but, in most ways, being underestimated suits Velvette just fine. (ha this is one of my [community profile] halfamoon stories from last year


March Sisterhood Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The thing about being a Watcher was Dawn never knew what would come next.

April Ephemeral Hazbin Hotel, Angel heard them ‘whispering’.


May Never Hazbin Hotel, “Are you really sure you wanna know, sweets?” Angel drawled to Charlie, as he squirmed in his seat next to Husk on the couch.


June Somebody’s Eyes The Owl House Edalyn folded up the door into its briefcase.


July Tear Up This Town Hazbin Hotel, He should have known it would end like this.


August Hurt So Good Hazbin Hotel, Angel stretched his legs out in front of him on his bar stool. NSFW


September Pushing Up the Ante Hazbin Hotel, This was supposed to be a friendly game of poker, something he’d tossed out there without thinking it through at the last overlord meeting.


October The Porn Star Murders Hazbin Hotel, “Thank you for calling me.” Rosie’s flat tone sent a shiver up Angel’s spine.


November Someone in the Dark Hazbin Hotel, Husk leaned on the bar, pain lancing through his back.


December Forget Our Memories, Forget Our Possibilities Hazbin Hotel, Dear Husk,
I’m sorry for everything.



Now back to watching my mystery still wishing that John Bacchus would disappear. Today he brings misogyny, islamaphobia and racism. Whee. (the saving grace is Gently takes it out of him every time he does this and I've been told he gets better. Hope that is soon)

I just can't write at the moment as I have no inspiration or energy.

I am collecting pics for icons in relation to a fandom project I signed up for this year.

Latest fandom is Inspector Lewis :-)

Just out of curiosity... Out of context, what does this photo say to you?

Personally, if I were Rico, I'd be hard-pressed not to reach out and haul him in for a kiss. But that's just me.

If you only had one year left of life, what would you do?

I would sleep less and spend time with my family and friends. And I would write like a crazy person. No, I would write like a normal person. I would write 5 letters to each of my kids and grandkids. Something that will make them smile. In a year you could do a lot. This is sure a morbid question.

So I managed to score an emergency visit to my eye doctor. He doesn't think my left eye is infected. However, it has inflitrative corneal-conjunctivitis. Whee. Basically my eyeball decided it didn't want a contact in it and threw a tantrum. (I've had this once before in college a billion years ago) The cornea isn't damaged but the inflammatory response is SO severe right now that my eyeball is so swollen I can barely open the lid and there is so much fluid IN the cornea (plus white blood cells) that I'm unable to see through it. He made me read the letters on the eyechart. Right eye, 20/40 (that's as good as my vision gets), left eye, are there even lines of letters? I can barely see a smear of something that might be black so even 20/200 is beyond my eyes ability right now. I have a second steroid eyedrop that is also antibiotic as well (just in case) Not allowed to wear a contact for pretty much a month. In the meantime the eye is just over there weeping all day, the color of a tomato and scared students.

I did have to go to give that exam, the easiest I will give. 2 got 100%, 1 passed, 3 failed. Guess we're going to have a talk about time management, sports vs academia, come talk to me PLEASE come talk to me and that yes Cs get degrees but they DO NOT get you into grad school usually. (this is my I wanna go to grad school class).



The good news today was it was 10 degrees hotter than expected and yes most of the ice is gone off the parking lot so that's good.

I need to get my story out so I'm preserving what's left of my vision for that. No fun fannish 50 stuff but here's the reading at least.

What I Just Finished Reading:

When the Moon Hits Your Eye - meh

Parable of the Sower graphic novel adaptation of the Octavia Butler classic. I forgot how dystopic this was, not to mention the cringeworthy age gap between the MC (18) and her lover (57).


What I am Currently Reading:


The Final Problem - mystery set in the 60s (for some reason ALL my netgalley arcs are freezing up my kindle app. I'm going to have to try and redownload a lot of these using the netgalley app which annoys me


Dark Life - YA book (so far so good)



Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier - okay I'm at the point of thinking Maxim isn't much better than Heathcliff, NOT a good place to be


Heavy Vinyl - graphic novel for the sapphic comic prompt on popsugar


What I Plan to Read Next: La Grand Familia Zombie Day Care and This Is How You Lose the Time Lord

Luna Park history - it was an amusement park in Pittsburgh around 1910.

11. Would you consider yourself superstitious?

Sometimes. I believe in karma, fate and kismet. If you do something crappy, you might as well prepare yourself for fate stepping in. It will come back to you. It’s just a little warning. 😁
And I also believe that if you try out for a better job, you can’t mention to anyone. If you do you just jinxed yourself. So, as you can tell I am superstitious.

How about you?

When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up and why?

I wanted to work for the Peace Corps. That’s all I could think about in High School. I didn’t realize it was like camping, which I don’t do. I realized I don’t like roughing it in the wild. Hubby and I got married very young and started our family. So, instead of PC, I got a job at obgyn office and loved it. I was disappointed in myself for a few years. But I learned to live with my decision. 😁

Every year hubby would ask me if I wanted to go camping. I gave him a look that said ‘I’ll kill you first’. The look always made him laugh. I would even laugh afterwards. When we were in our 50s, we rented a very nice travel trailer. It was okay but still don’t want to camp.

Days that make you want to cry

It started out well. Students showed up, did what they're meant to and meeting a prospective student went well.

and then the day fell off a cliff. I was insanely busy.

then I can't find the agars I need to my research students. And when I finally did I don't have the budget for this. sigh.

Then the roof started leaking. Everywhere. I mean everywhere. every lab. every classroom. people who building flat roofs in a snowy area should have their balls kicked repeatedly

My building has issues before this. Got an email. We need a list of what needs fixed in your lab. by tomorrow. well thanksI

Then the online stuff stopped working again just like last year

Then I was reminded my first thought today was I wish I was retired or at least I never did my sabbatical because it was a taste of retirement

Came home. everything is now ice because it was 60 and all the snow is gone but the ice was too thick for that. Looking forward to my death tomorrow

I haven't been wearing my contacts lately because I can't see to read any more and since I read a lot all day it's not worth the reading glasses headaches. Had them in today. Was doing great. Took them out around 7 without a half hour my eye was beet red and I haven't been able to keep it open for nearly 4 hours. I have NO idea what happened. The contact came out easily. it feels more like it rolled up under my eyelid. Flushed it with both my steroid drops and saline but nope. Going to bed early and hope this heals up overnight. Do not want pink eye. Do not want to go to urgent care tomorrow.

Was going to do a cool writing meme but since it feels like someone is removing my eyeball with sandpaper
