#I'm grateful for so much today...

FB memory of the day... Text below and photo under the cut just in case you don't like surgical scars. Nothing gruesome I don't think...

__________ From 4th Dec 2019

So I used to have this mole. I'd had it since I was a teenager. Turns out it had been hanging with the wrong crowd and after a MoleMap confirming it was gathering strength it got cut out back on the 5th November. Turned out it was a REALLY bad crowd and was in fact melanoma. They wanted to cut out more. Today I got a call at work saying they had a cancellation, and could I make a 2pm surgery time. Why yes, yes I can! (Because I'm all in favour of getting rid of the bad crowd and getting gnarly looking scars).

Shout out to my brother, for driving me around, and my workmates who would have had to pick up my slack while I reorganised my life (and were my backup taxi drivers), and also to Hubs and the boys, who have to do everything for the next couple of days and also put up with me being unshowered and whining because it hurts.

This is why we slip, slop, slap and wrap. Because we didn't when we were kids.

Had the cutest realization last night- so there's a saying we have in English meaning to get something done by any means necessary. It specifically includes dishonest methods, such as violence or lying. So when you're willing to resort to that kind of thing to achieve your goals, you say you're going to do something

"by hook or by crook"

Head full of stars.

I listened to Sinkhole S1 two days in a row, and then S2 today. The way it depicted physical disability, ableism, and institutional betrayal - it meant a lot.

I'm going back to bed the moment I post this but I've been having a super rough and stressful night... so for whatever reason I went back to read some of the kind asks I've received since I saved a lot... some since the first time I started writing... and I got so emotional and just began sobbing haha.... I can't believe how lucky I am...... I love writing so much.........

This is partially for myself but also I am taking anyone who can relate gently by the hand when I say this

It is okay to ask for help.

It is okay to recognize when a dog is struggling with something that is beyond your current skills/knowledge. It is okay to call on your village or reach out to a trainer, even if you yourself are a trainer. It is okay not to know everything.

And it is far better to ask for help so that you and the dog can both learn and gain new skills than it is to beat yourself up in silence.

Man I woke up today like "I'm so gonna write today" and I haven't written a thing as all my favorite people came running and have been showering me with love and affection and sillies-

I seriously don't deserve all of y'all but I genuinely cherish every single one of you sm *sobs*

Thank you all so much for making my day special, I genuinely appreciate everything, I hope we all can chill together like this more often (genuine)

04/25/2025 Progress Update:

TLDR: 2.5K written, about 34K drafted so far for chapter

I really really wanted to finish the draft today but theeeen got distracted by a lot of things. Still got 2.5K more drafted, and we're like RIGHT at the end of section 4, so we're going strong. I do very much think I could get the whole chapter drafted by end of tomorrow, but we'll see. If not, likely by end of weekend. Then editing time!

I have really been enjoying these last parts. My fingers are flying, barely stopping. It's probably 'cause it's action; despite not being like the BEST at action, I still really like writing it lol. I especially like the constraints. The fact Shuichi's heart stops him from taking a chase at full-strength forces me to reassess how he approaches trying to catch the Phantom Thief, relying less on his strength/endurance and more his ability to think on his feet. I want him to be resourceful.

That's like one of my favorite FAVORITE things about any Phantom Thief AU, when Shu uses his head to get himself out of situations. I point to ultimate_heartache's fic, which has Shu use a cigarette's smoke path to get him out of a mirror maze. That is.... like the most spell-binding thing I've ever seen in a Phantom Thief AU lol, I love it SO much. So I wanted to emulate a similar vein of "mind over body" moments for Shu, not only because I think it's cool but because I think Ko would eat it up.

Anyway. Today was a little better, which is always a plus! I'm very much looking forward to this weekend. I'm going to sit outside on my newly-moved-into deck and write for like the entire day. And no one can stop me mwahahaha.

Hope you all have a lovely lovely night! I wish you so much relaxation and non-stressful days to come. You've got this, I believe in you!!

not just a snack but the entire five-course meal plus coffee and dessert. I'll have mine in my room

Got a very lovely surprise yesterday when I received a delivery of flowers from one of the autism organizations whose Board I am on, with well wishes for my recovery from surgery! I don't think any organization I've been associated with has done something like this for me, and I'm genuinely touched by such a kind, unexpected gesture...

personal update: went to the ER this morning cos i woke up coughing so much that i couldn't breathe :') had chest x-rays and bloodwork done (had the song stuck in my head the whole time i was there and icl it kept my energy from fading). doctor was such an angel and said i have pneumonia/strep/something in that family of diseases, and prescribed me with really strong antibiotics. she said i should be better in time for christmas🥹

unfortunately my energy and creative juices are still quite low, so i'm continuing to put a hold on my christmas minifics. I likely wont have the energy or time to write them until after christmas, but that will not stop me from getting them done!! christmas will continue for as long as i say it will lol
