torachan1. I worked from home again today and it was a pretty chill day. Nice to be able to do that this week when the cats are more clingy with Carla being gone.
2. Speaking of which, Carla is currently on the plane and should be home in a few hours.
3. The city sent around a post card the other day about food waste bins and I almost didn't read it because we're already good about putting all our scraps in there and not the trash but I'm glad I did because they've changed the rules and allow biodegradable bags now! When the law first went into effect a couple years ago, they said no bags were allowed in the bin, which makes it a pain to collect scraps, because we have to wash the container that's in the house frequently. I kept forgetting to order bags for it, but finally did so today, so I'm excited about less frequent bin washing.
4. All my blood tests the other day came back with good results, so I don't have to do it again for six months. I don't actually mind getting blood drawn, but having to do so on a certain day of the week just always makes getting it done inconvenient if something else crops up.
5. Tuxie!

Still here.
Jan. 28th, 2026 02:50 pmtwistedchickWe got 6-8 inches of snow, and a lot of cold, but we're still here. Power works, gas works, water works. I'm going out now to try to take down the plowed wall next to the cars. It only took 2 days to see a snowplow -- but the area is still closed down through tomorrow, so not surprising.
Not looking forward to more from next weekend.
ETA: Both cars have 2.5 feet of ice and snow along the side next to the lane. I couldn't budge it.
If the SU can't either, we may have to phone the incel across the street to dig it out for an exorbitant fee. If we didn't have the possibility of another storm, with wetter snow, this coming weekend I'd let it sit, but I will still have that doctor's appointment next week.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

X-Men #24 - The Age of Revelation Afterparty from another POV
Jan. 28th, 2026 12:40 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyWhilst completely acknowledging that future Doug Ramsey as Revelation did a lot of utterly horrific things (and I mean there aren't war crime classifications dreadful enough to describe many of them) I'm sort of loving that Evil Beast's reaction, after returning from the all-life-on-Earth-is-about-to-be-turned-into-planet-Doug dystopian hellscape which Revelation created is not horror, or outrage, or even numbness.

Writing, writing, writing
Jan. 28th, 2026 02:25 amdswdianeAs in I have to STOP now. It is 2:30 am. I HAVE to be up by 9:30. I want to get up at 8:30 so I can write more. I am mad, as in out of my fucking mind, crazy.
Other voice in head--we are almost 5000 words into chapter 28. It will probably take less that another 1000 words to finish it. I WANT to finish it.
Voice of sanity: STOP. Sleep. The fucking chapter is NOT going to run away. It really won't. Methos is fine, Duncan is fine, Connor is fine, Amanda is fine. They all have carrot cake and Irish coffee. Go to bed.Right. Sanity is a good thing. Bed.
