The "fic I'm not writing" game, plus updates on me and my mom

[kawuli]

The fic I'm not writing game, borrowed from Tumblr:

Give me a character or a ship and the title or theme of a fic, and I will give you a summary of the associated "fic I'm not writing." Because my brain is so uncooperative lately idek.

mo and the amazing malfunctioning brain:

Monday: Searched all over for the flash drive I got from a course last week, eventually found it in the DRYER because apparently I hadn’t checked my pockets as thoroughly as I thought I had. Still works though, which makes me 2 for 2 on washed-and-dried flash drives making it through intact.

Yesterday: had to go home at lunch because I forgot to take my morning meds. Biked home, took meds, ate lunch, biked back to work, went to lock up my bike, realized I didn’t have my keys. Biked back home, found keys just where I suspected I would: in the lock on my door (luckily I don’t live in a high-crime area). Biked back to work. 2 round-trips = 15 km

Today: running late, can’t find my ID card, which I need to get into the building. Give up, bike to work, get spare ID from the reception people, get upstairs to my desk, reach into bag for headphones (in a pocket where I SWEAR I looked at least twice) and HI THERE ID.

I have not been this bad about losing things since high school (up through then I lost IDs like 2-3x/semester), so c’mon brain, get it together! Also can I please get my ADHD diagnosis now? (I'm seeing the therapist-person again on Friday and then hopefully the prescribing doctor after that? WHO KNOWS, because the Dutch are very concerned with determining precisely what diagnosis I need through 1 million assessment tests before doing literally anything else and I am getting slightly impatient)

Mom updates for those keeping score at home:

Mom is home from the hospital, recovering pretty well, but slowly. My dad had to go buy Vagisil for her because "in sickness and in health" sometimes means braving the vaginas aisle. The church ladies, without whom I am sure the world would stop turning, are organizing people to come hang out and help her so my dad can work, run errands, cook food, etc. without worrying about her. Crisis mostly over, now back to the mysterious chronic pain drugs-and-therapies tango.

At least the things haven't been lost anywhere you haven't been able to recover them from. I hope that these doctors don't ke

Yikes, that had to be understandably scary to have happen to your mom, especially with you so far away. I'm glad to hear that she's better enough to be home though. You and your family have been and will continue to be in my thoughts! (and I asked the Vincentians I send money to pray for your mom)

Rey, A book is like a garden carried in the pocket:

OK so I AM writing a thing about bb!Rey getting sorta-adopted by an old lady on Jakku (named Anita). So this would be part of that (and um might still be ???) but in any case. Anita doesn't know how to read, but as they're scouring already-picked-over wrecks for whatever's still there, they sometimes find paper manuals, because a) sometimes you need a manual that works even when there's no power and b) paper isn't valuable enough to scavenge. And Rey picks one up and there's a few words she recognizes just from idk signs and things, and she teaches herself to read. And it's the first thing she's learned that Anita couldn't teach her and she's kind of shocked that's possible.

Rokia/Sara, follow you back
......I'll have to maybe come back to this one.

Thanks so much re: mom stuff, she's continuing to improve so the Vincentians prayers must be working ;)

Wiress and Rokia: birthday theme

or

Lyme and Rokia: first time in the woods

[kawuli.livejournal.com]

Wiress and Rokia make the best birthday presents. In Hogwarts probably everybody gets idk, their broom turns up 10x faster or their pet suddenly has a new toy/habitat or THEY have a new toy, or their archnemesis finds all his clothes magically adjusted to look really ridiculous. It's great.

Lyme and Rokia's first time in the woods I have actually already written, here: http://kawuli.livejournal.com/7920.html (it's toward the end) Rokia enjoys rock climbing a lot :D
