Adlestrop by Edward Thomas

Yes. I remember Adlestrop—
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat the express-train drew up there
Unwontedly. It was late June.

The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat.
No one left and no one came
On the bare platform. What I saw
Was Adlestrop—only the name

And willows, willow-herb, and grass,
And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry,
No whit less still and lonely fair
Than the high cloudlets in the sky.

And for that minute a blackbird sang
Close by, and round him, mistier,
Farther and farther, all the birds
Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.

An author friend of mine, Clara Ward, is one of the guests at WisCon this coming Memorial Day weekend. It's a feminist science fiction & fantasy convention, held entirely online this year. I've just got registered and have started looking at the panels, think I must attend the one on MurderBot!

Standard registration is $25 but they are a 'pay what you can' con, so reduced reg is only $5. If you've feeling like a fannish fix this weekend, join in! https://wiscon.net/

I'm working on two vastly different McShep stories, one with a mid-June deadline. (I'll pick up ^No2 when the first is closer to being finished.)

This involves writing (or at least plotting out) every single day... er, most days. So I thought, maybe you'd like to join me? Got a story that just won't quit bugging you to finish? Or maybe one that is a mere glimmer in the ol' brain? Or maybe that WiP folder is just too damn full.

In any case, it seemed like the perfect time to open up The Dust Off Your Plot Bunny Challenge

I'm mostly just tired. And the bed is doing my back in. Soft beds do this a lot with me. They need to be just soft enough that I can lie on them, but firm and flat - no dips in the mattress.

I want my cats. And my house. And my bed. And my space. I want to work from my office desk instead of commuting. (Okay, the commuting might be required going forward.)

I have met some excellent people while on this work trip, but also I am tired and I want to be in spaces which are mine.

Monday evening, we got notice from the apartments that we were having another "annual" inspection on Wednesday (today.) This is the fourth annual inspection this year! (Wish they'd just combine some of these.) So we had to spend the rest of Monday evening and a big chunk of yesterday cleaning, making sure all the surfaces were cleaned off, that floors were vacuumed, etc.

We did decide to take a break yesterday and go out for a walk. We picked a local lake that we hadn't ever walked around before. It was very windy, but nice out, and I'm glad we had a chance to get outside for a while.

Because it was so windy, Bella got to encounter ~waves~.

She was interested in them, but not overly bothered.

A bee on a wild rose.

Fourteen more pictures:

Globemallow. Having a good year this year.

A mushroom!

A heron in flight.

Just trees, but liked how green they were against the bright blue sky.

Red-winged blackbird, sitting up tall.

Dead tree. There was a woodpecker hole up near the top, with maybe some nesting material sticking out.

Another red-winged blackbird.

Ladybug larva on a wild rose.

Another ladybug larva on another wild rose.

I wish this little damselfly had been in better focus! But such a nice blue.

Back at the eastern shore of the lake, Bella got to take a look at more little waves.

She was very interested in the noise the water was making.

Bella blep.

And another tree with bunches of woodpecker holes!

Glad we got to go out and be outside for a bit!

It's not covid or flu. The bad news is it's viral so here are some heavy cough suppressants, bye bye. I got a lot worse around 5 this morning so I went to the urgent care and then on to the hotel.

She was like you want to wait a half hour for the verdict on covid/flu? Yes because you want to give me tamiflu/whatever that drug is for covid if it is. I'm going downtown Pittsburgh which is a nightmare (even though it's like 10 miles away it takes a halfhour to get there because you have 4 lanes of traffic going thru a 2 lane tunnel that spits you out on a 4 lane bridge with less than 500 yards to make your choice and god help you if you don't know where your exit is because Pittsburgh is on a triangle of land and you WILL have to go around for the next 20 minutes trying to get to the damn place you missed.

While I was in the urgent care a huge storm popped up, worse than I thought. even though I'm parked like 10 yards away I'm DRENCHED by the time I get to the car to the point my jeans look fresh from the washer wet. I go for an early dinner at my favorite chinese place while CVS fills my script.

Get to CVS it's a mad house. The storm knocked out the system and my stuff isn't ready.

By the time I get to Pittsburgh the flooding has started. I can't find my keys in my purse to give to the valet (he gave up and had me leave them in the car) and I scored the BEST room. I'm on the top floor with a view of the Point which is a Pittsburgh highlight.

I said I wasn't going to the mixer but I wanted my stuff for the convention tonight so I can plan for tomorrow (I think I'll be skipping some just so I can be fresh for MY presentation and I know it'll be a lot for me) I had to go into the mixer to get it and two gins and tonic jumped down my throat. Don't know how that happened.

At least my throat is less sore but my cough is making my hernia hurt.

Scroll to the end for pictures but first books!

Webtoon's Dr. Kim of London is about a modern-day Korean surgeon being reincarnated in 19th century England and having to deal with lack of sanitation and public amputations and other such barbaries. This puts it in the same third-time's-the-genre as the manga Jin (modern day Japanese surgeon in 19th century Japan) and the K-drama Faith The Great Doctor (modern day Korean surgeon in 14th century Korea).

I love me a good "let's science the shit out of this" story and both it and its medical-historical subgenre need names. Any ideas?

Impulse Control
Fandom: Naruto
Rating: adult
Characters: Kakashi/Gai
Wordcount: 2,600ish
Summary:
In a moment of weakness, Kakashi does it. He pinches Gai's chest through the jumpsuit. He won't lie and say he couldn't help it, but Gai just looked so cute... And he looks even cuter after Kakashi pinches him.

Now that Kakashi knows what Gai looks like when he's turned on and embarrassed, he's having a lot of trouble ignoring his impulses.

What I Just Finished Reading
We Solve Murders by Richard Osman. I can't decide if I liked this or not. I couldn't get through the Thursday Murder Club because I didn't like the characters and wasn't interested in the murder. In this one I like the characters and would absolute be up for reading more with them in, but wasn't that interested in the murder. And found the short chapters cutting between characters made it hard to get into.

Clean Point by Meg Jones. This was awful. I thought it was a tennis romance, but then read the preview and thought it was an interesting tennis story about drugs and parents and coaches. That part of the story was interesting and would have been better if it had been the main part of the story. Sadly most of it was about the two main characters spending all their time thinking about each other's legs, which was dull and predictable. I kept reading for the tennis aspect and whether it was all going to end up happy or more realistic. I could have not bothered.

What I'm Currently Reading
Triangle: Imzadi II by Peter David. My Unconventional Courtship fic is set during this book. I skim-read bits when I started, but then my writing stalled. I finally have an idea for the next bit (if not the ending) and I thought reading this book would help me actually write it.

What I'm Reading Next
Is This Working? by Charlie Colenutt. A library hold that's just come in.

Another of the stickers I bought from Featherbone. Since this week was Mother's Day, the mama and baby okapis seemed like a good choice. My mom specifically really likes okapis.

This week was fine. My days off were very nice, getting to go out and do things both days (at Pelican Pond and Hudson Gardens.) I was also reasonably productive in terms of getting some other things done throughout the week... except writing. Again. Still frustrated by how tired I've been, and how often I end up having to take a nap in the evenings. It could just be genuine lack of sleep overnight - I do go to bed late, and maybe that 6 hours just isn't enough to get me all the way through the day. Work, with our new phone schedules, was mildly aggravating, but not terrible. Hoping to refocus more on creative stuff next week.

Goals for the week:

I did call my mom on Mother's Day, though I was working
I visited her briefly on Monday
I started (and finished) reading Where the Drowned Girls Go
We got new tires (well, two of them)
I did not write
I did spend time outside!
I did purchase Overgrowth
I didn't clean up my table
I did start reading Overgrowth

Tracked habits:

Work - 5/7
Household Maintenance - 3/7
Physical Activity - 3/7
Wrote 500/1000+ Words - 0/7

so, I’m doing a thing…look for it June 17th!! unconventionalcourtship.dreamwidth.org/84559.html

Oh, Dreamwidth, I've missed you!! I haven't been very active/interested in fandom lately, but I've missed my friends on here and I've missed posting about my writing. I'm trying to do more writing lately, and I'm finally having less writer's block lately!! Hopefully being back on here will give me some more inspiration.

A lot has happened in my real life since I've been gone. I've had a retail job at a hardware store for about a year now, which I never really saw myself doing hahah but it's been pretty good so far! I like my coworkers and the department I work in for the most part, and it's definitely not my ideal career but it's been good for now and gives me good insurance XD

Also, I don't remember if I talked about this before, but I've been trying to get a job at a museum as my Real Big Girl Job. I feel like the universe really has my back lately and is helping me, because in the past few months I've also been working on a project to start a museum collection for a local organization! It's been moving slowly, but it's so exciting that things are finally happening in the museum area for me! If you guys would be interested (and are still around?), I'd love to post more about museum-y things. I don't feel like you'd mind though!

Anyway, that's how my life's been going! Hopefully you've all been well too <3
