Feeling better today. The back is still sore, but at least I can move around and it's not painful all the time. Not sure if it helped or not, but I did jump on the treadmill the last two days - very slow and only for about 15 minutes. Also, I don't feel like I want to jump out of my skin as much anymore, so I'm adjusting to my meds. The worst part about psychoactive drugs are going on and going off. I feel kind of pukey today, but I guess you can't have everything. At least I'm at work.

In other news, I put the turkey in the fridge last night. My $1.38 11-pound turkey. :D I'm happy we're getting a half day on Wednesday. I'm going to bake my pie, cook up sausage and onion (for the stuffing) and put the turkey in the brine. (Trying a new honey maple brine this year.)

On the Doctor Who front, I no longer feel as stabby about the whole thing. I've sort of slid back into indifference. However, it has upped my interest in TenII/Rose. I actually read some random fic by someone I don't know this past weekend. Me! Reading fic!

It was nice to read something fun and happy. In the best of times I don't do angst well. But with all the health crap lately it's gone from "DO. NOT. WANT." to "F*#$ YOU AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO." I can't deal with it. Like, really cannot deal with it. Mentally and all. *blows raspberries at Ten and his mountain of emo crazy angst*

So sort of related, I've been thinking about a fic sequel to the one I wrote after Journey's End. I'm still stuck on the "plot" part. This morning I was contemplating the Doctor and Rose leaving the TARDIS, it fading to black, then picking up when they come back after their adventure. It would solve my problem. But then I started thinking about the fact that the point of having a new TARDIS is to have new adventures. Why would I fade that to black? Well, because I haven't a clue what to write (and have tried two different things, both of which didn't work), but...that part is kind of the point. Most the rest of it is already written. BAH.

Glad you're feeling better! HUGS!!!

For the new fic, what if they ended up on New Earth Pete's world?

...Is jealous of your turkey!

Thanks! :)

Hmmmmmmm.

*hopes it defrosts by Wed. night*

Aww, I'm glad that you're feeling a wee bit better. *smooch*

AHHHH AMERICAN THANKSGIVING. Maybe I will post fluff then and you will never know. (I probably won't, though. I feel like you're not going to approve of my next few fics. :()

But in other news, I just linked this to someone:

And was amused by it all over again. XD

Thanks. :)

And if you post fluff I will find it! *ignores potential other fics*

BWAH! I'd forgotten about that post!

HMM. I could use fluff to draw you back to the Internet. Like the smell of turkey drawing you to the kitchen. XD

CRACKED ME UP. I think that's one of the best things we ever wrote.

It would work every time. :D

So funny!!

*rubs hands together*

Now you would probably stomp on his foot, and I... okay, I would probably still try licking.

I agree with this completely. I was depressed for a long time and don't ever want to feel like that again. I'm still kind of afraid I'm going to go back to being depressed (even though I've done the therapy and the meds and feel fine now), so I try to avoid too much angst. Or, I know when to not get too invested in shows (such as Battlestar: Galactica or anything by Joss Whedon) that I know are getting to be depressing. I feel like Doctor Who tricked me. It started off all FUN, ADVENTURES, HOPE and somehow turned ANGST, DESPAIR, WOE.

(I'm not sure if any of that made sense.)

It actually makes perfect sense.

Health problems always make everything else darker and gloomier.

This whole Doctor Who thing has put your head askew. And you're not the only one it seems...

I just have very little tolerance for it right now.

You could always take a year or three off. The DVDs/download files will always be there if you'd like to come back.

Very true.

I'm glad you're feeling better! And yeah, I've hardly read any of the post TWoM fic, because UGH. Angst. DO NOT WANT.

Thanks. :)

And I've not read any TWoM fic - you couldn't pay me enough. :D

However, it has upped my interest in TenII/Rose.

Same here. It's because THAT is the Doctor I loved; there's no longer two of them. I have to ignore the first one now because he's become something else and it breaks my heart.

He really has.

So true. I feel like the original doctor is lost for good and anyway, he's going to regenerate into that Robert Pattinson look alike anyway so...

And I'm so with you about real life problems causing an anti-angst reaction. It's just natural. I'm into another fandom, have been for 10 years and this year (very bad year for me), I've been unable to read anything angsty. It's a matter of self-preservation.

So Ten II/rose and all the great fluff ficlets out there? That's gold, for me.

I wish that Matt Smith looked as good as RobPatz. :(

I'm lucky in that I have many fandoms of interest, just not DW, although it's one that I came back to because of the new series, and it got me re-interested in the classic series. :)

SW, Lotr, HP are just the tip of my fandoms, and there's always old stuff that I haven't read or seen and there will always be new stuff in new fandoms to keep me going. :)

After helping my mom off and on, and then having to cook their last two Thanksgiving dinners all by myself, I just can't do that anymore. :( Instead Mike and I got ready-to-go stuff from places like Whole Foods, Publix, and The Fresh Market for the last two years, and had friends over, and of course his mom. I like to cook, mind you, but I don't like being driven crazy by it. And to think that once upon a time, I used to cook, with help, several course meals for a hundred people for an SCA feast. Good grief! *laughs at self*

*grins* I see that you're using the cute icon! I love her stuff. *points at icon*

It's a LOT to deal with for one person.

(And I love that icon! :D)
