Not quite sure what my shoulder/left upper arm is doing, but it seems to have decided that this is the perfect week for it to misbehave. I spent most of yesterday afternoon with it in a sling and it's ached off and on today, too. I can deal with my back/legs generally being crap, but non-functional arms is a new and very unwelcome development.

Bugger.



  • Writing:

    • Mistletoe and Wine - There's just two or three installments left so the aim is to get them finished off this weekend - Final installment is finished. I now need to work backwards and link it to everything else!

    • Estranged - I want to get chapter 3 finished and, if possible chapter 4 well started

    • Soaring Eagle - I want to try and get an installment (or two) done so that I can get this wrapped up this side of the sun going supernova!

    • The Truth in the Lie - this is the first of my big HL rewrites so it would be nice to get it properly spec'd out if not actually started

    • Hide and Seek - the rewrite is about two chapters from being finished; I know what has to happen in those two chapters so...



  • Editing:

    • Mike - Needs a heavy overhaul before I can post it to the ID'verse site - I've had one go through this, but it needs some more work [it was VERY episodic!]

    • A Thousand Years - Need to give it a once over before posting

    • Road to Uruk - Ditto

    • Mercy to Forgive - Ditto

    • Rocky's Bad Day - Ditto This is on tomorrow's list

    • Family - Ditto As is this

    • A Wish For Death - Ditto And this

    • Freya's Daughter - I still need to finish editing this; I also want to write up a standard query letter and really put some effort into schlepping it around agents and publishers



  • Arts:

    • Banner images for the Highlander, Other Fandoms and M.A.S.K. sections of the Id'verse website - I've made a start on one of the Highlander ones but I'm still seeking inspiration on it; the other one should be reasonably simple, though...

    • Format up the next batch of stories for the ID'verse site and post



  • OU - Get stuck into the Poetry section

  • Cleaning & Tidying:

    • Gym stuff

    • Bedroom

    • Mind Body Spirit

    • Bathroom

    • Upstairs desk

    • Car [the annoying thing is, I only washed it last weekend; sadly, either I've been paint bombed or there's some VERY incontinent seagulls around here...]

    • CDs

    • Shoes



  • Other:

    • Deal with the photographs stored on the camera - Liss, Xan, I haven't forgotten that I promised you copies of a couple from Hannah's dedication!

    • Deal with the duck and bank as appropriate

    • Book the car in for a service - Will take care of this tomorrow morning

    • Find current car insurance certificate

    • Post book






About the only good thing about the misbehaviour of my arm yesterday was it gave me the opportunity to watch Serenity (which I've had for about six months). There'll be a proper review-type thing later, but my main thoughts are:
1) Gotta love Mal
2) I really hate it when my DVD player refuses to let me turn off the subtitles
3) Interestingly, the Chinese curses aren't subtitled
4) I'm almost positive I'd have got more out of it if I'd seen Firefly
5) Still, ya gotta love Mal!

Hope the misbehaving arm has learned its lesson.

And congratulations on Mistletoe & Wine!
*looks forward to it*

Misbehaving arm is still a little inclined to misbehave, although as long as I'm actually typing, rather than just randomly surfing online, it seems to be better.

I guess this would be the incentive I need to write more M&W! With a bit of luck, you should get to see my hard work either tomorrow or (more likely) Thursday :)

I hope it is behaving much better now, but *hugs* anyway
