That writing meme, plus life stuff.
There is an interesting meme going around which asks for Ten things that you think are common in your fic, Ten things you think are uncommon in your fic although commonly found in fic in general, and Ten things you wish were more true of your fic. I posted my answers over on my writing journal, if anyone is curious!

I am chilling out atm, while nephews watch/play Nick Junior loudly.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
longpig had to go get bloodwork done this morning, so I was Sole Adult for a while, bt all is well. I am adjusting to Life With Small Children, and have had various Standard Bathroom Experiences so far, including being busted in on while in the bathroom and while in the shower, and assisting with various bodily excretion issues (butt wiping, cleaning up accidents, eating leftover drooly cupcake bits (because cupcakes).
Longpig has also gotten me to sign up to go to the gym with her, and we've gone twice so far. The first time was awful, because I hadn't been in years. Lats night was not as terrible, but was a good workout. I remembered why I hate the shoes I have though - they make my toes fall asleep if I am on the elliptical, and I don't want to do the treadmill or the track because my knees are not ready. Maybe after I'm back into the squat groove I can give it a shot, but they sound pretty bad when I'm going up the stairs here. I mentioned that this is a three-level house, right? >.> Anyway, I am glad for the activity!
I need to get some other stuff organized too - I need to apply for my health card (not that I can get it for three months :p), and get a dog license for Jola. I think that is probably important even if I'm not sure how long I am going to be here. Plus I still need to look into museum volunteering and temp work.... and oh yes, continue applying for jobs, wheeee! I do feel like I am settling in here, I just need to make sure I am settling into a *useful* routine. I haven't done' any knitting or writing beyond a drabble or two though, yet - The kids do make it hard to concentrate, and I feel bad ignoring them or leaving Longpig to deal with them alone when I am here and can help out. I'll sort it out, but I'm not quite there yet!
