Quick Life Update

[katharos]

My Life in the past two months:

Two weeks in Kalami, Corfu. If there is paradise on earth, its here, although it was getting worryingly biblical at times. Left the floods behind in England, got the fires in Greece. I was watching worriedly for the plague of locusts, and wondering if they planned on infiltrating in the guise of Cicadas. No actual fires in Corfu, thank goodness, although everyone was worried - it almost made us feel guilty for how completly de-stressed we were.

Of course, then I got home to learn that 1) I hadn't got my funding for my MA. 2) The job I thought I'd got till the end of the summer had replaced me with a permanent person. So yes, been running around like a chicken with a head chopped off, trying to scrounge up a couple of weeks temp work and pin down work for term time and christmas. Am tired. Also broke.

Meh. *flaps hands*

In other news, sister and I are making a go of Risings Stars of Manga - once again starting something far too late to have it actually done on time. But! At least there is actually a faint possibility this might actually get done, if late, unlike the Neverending Manga. (One year, two months of plotting and still counting.)

So, yeah, beginning to slow down a bit from frantic 'Must Fix Life NOW' mode and beginning to look around and remember hey, there is stuff that I actually like to do out there! Posted one drabble. Fingers itching to write more. I think I might actually have been proactive enough to let them without guilt. Yay!

Nice to see you back! Glad you had such a good holiday - good holidays are nice things to have. But oh, that sucks about the MA funding and the job. *hugs you* I'll invite you round to have dinner with me sometimes, if you like. I can make macaroni cheese now! (I'm just proud of this new skill!) *snuggles* I hope things get sorted for you.

Good luck with the manga! You can do it! *waves supportive flags*

Yay, drabbles! *encourages* Speaking of writing, I beg you for feedback and there's ... a hell of a lot more for you to read! :D (that should please you)

Thank you! It was good to talk to you the other day. And yes to dinner! I - I promise to try this Macaroni and Cheese thing. I have been trying to get better about eating cheese and I have really! Just as long as the cheese occupies a minor percentage of the dish...

Er, yeah, our macaroni cheese is usually fairly cheesy, although I can make the cheese sauce less cheesy and more milky if you like. (or tip in a ton more sherry ;)) Well, we can see anyway. It depends exaxtly which bit of cheese you hate - is it the taste or is it some of the texture a factor? If texture, making it into sauce will help ...
