The Crystal Caves

Well, my stomach is feeling better. When I say that, I mean it's no longer trying to crawl up my chest and out of my mouth whenever I think about food. I wish there was some magical cure to make me feel better, but the weather has stabilized for a week and I really think that's playing a role in this. Whatever the hell it is, I'll take it. :) I don't like feeling sick.

I haven't said anything about the 12th Doctor, yet, but have had a couple of days to watch interviews with him and see some of his history and I think he'll be an interesting Doctor. More towards the Classic era than we've had in the new episodes, but it's time to take a look back towards Classic, I think. I saw a wonderful quote from Neil Gaiman about how regenerations are running out and the fandom is panicking. He said that he believes (and made it a point to say this is not cannon) that the Time Lords can regenerate as many times as they want, but going past body 13 is dangerous and has consequences. Given how the Master looked in his 13th body, I can really believe that. *shudders* Then again, there was other stuff with him that added to how he looked, so that's neither here nor there. I also like the idea of an older Doctor again. The dynamic between him and Clara is going to change and I agree with something I saw on pintrest, he'll be more of a father figure now. The best friend dynamic is back and that makes me so happy. *grins*

Great, I have stupid in count and stupid in cage.

Okay, anyway, back to Doctor Who. I'm not saying I'm not going to miss Matt. I'm probably going to have a shock blanket and box of tissues with me at Christmas time. I also have to watch the episode alone because I have no local Whovian friends who will be in town that day to watch it with me. Matt is far and away my favorite Doctor since Four and I was heartbroken when he regenerated. I'm also excited to see what new energy Peter is going to bring to the role and the show. This is going to be very interesting. I do hope they do more with River because I'd love to see the change in dynamic there. :)

My trip is getting ever closer. I'm so excited I can't wait. I need to print off a few more directions and then all I need are tickets/hotel/transportation. The travel agent isn't exactly quick on these things. I think I might need to poke at her again. I found the picture I want to take in case of a Matt autograph, but haven't found one for Tom Baker yet. Still need to do that. Also wish the convention page would update with more information. I really am not too impressed with these guys. Oh well, one day out of ten and with fellow fans. Hopefully I can find some people to talk to.

I'm not planning to update anything today. I might, but I'm in the process of rereading TDC for the final time just because I fear leaving one tiny thread unaccounted for in the whole story arc and want to make sure I have everything done. If you've noticed one please let me know. I'm not to Meeting in Miami, yet, so I'm getting through it at a reasonable rate. I should be back with updates starting tomorrow depending on how I feel.

so, i've had two "i wonder" moments in the past two days and guess i should share, if only to see what everyone else thinks.

1) WSGC WAC/RCW codes state that all fills going from the cage to the table must be tracked with a PTZ camera. only one of our PTZ cameras is recording at the moment - i don't know - and it's too old and slow to track fills with. so if there's no way to tell if a fill is being tracked, does it, indeed, need to be tracked? yes, i actually sat and thought about this for a full 10 minutes at work yesterday.

2) I wonder who would be the more snarly/sarcastic one. Who would win an argument between Dr. Greg House and Professor Severus Snape? just the mental image has me in giggles.


** there's a severe weather system on the way in. don't talk to me about fibro symptoms and flares. so i might not even be on the computer when i get home. not that i've been on chat and social the past few days anyway....

i took my temp. 101.6F. (normal is 97.4F) i about had a heart attack. yeah, i got my shift covered. i'm going to bed. don't look for me tonight guys. or likely tomorrow. i feel worse than crap.

i hate snow. i always say that snow is a four letter word. it makes me sleepy and gives me fibro fog like you wouldn't believe. my memory is more or less gone at this point. i can barely remember what all i needed to do before i go to bed. i'm even scared to bathe because i might fall over. *sighs* and these storms are going nowhere fast. i read that they're estimating about a foot on the ground by Wednesday. that's fail. i know it's still winter, but it's fail. majorly fail.

i can't even remember anything i wanted to put on here. i'm going to type up my note for a project i'm working on and go to bed. i, unfortunately, have to work tomorrow.  

i don't know if there's something coming our way with a weather system or if i'm getting sick, but my tummy hurts too bad to sit up at the computer tonight. i'm going to go lie down and read, i guess. *sighs* i really wanted to try to get to 60,000 words in my personal challenge, but, oh well. i'll stand at last night's number and post a final word total when it's finished.

nina does have a bladder infection. she finally gave in and used the sandless sand box at 0630 this morning. i pick up her meds tomorrow and we go from there. i just wish my mother would quit lecturing. she's totally missing a point here, i rather suspect on purpose, because she has tunnel vision.

I figure I should do this now because I am going to bathe and go to bed as soon as I get home. I felt this one coming and hoped that it wouldn't happen, but it did. The fibro flared on me and I woke up horrible sick this morning. There isn't a single part of me that doesn't hurt or feel sick. *sighs* And of course it happens in the middle of 13 days in a row. Yeah' I finally counted to see what I'm working. I have eight left to go. I would really rather be home at bed, or even better, in a hot bath. My poor body.

For all my friends, be very happy you have your health and enjoy it.

It'd have an A if I didn't hurt like hell in about seven different places. The most notible being my bad knee and where I fractured my left arm this past winter. I hate weather changes with a passion. It also means typing more than a couple of paragraphs are out of the question. Meh. I can deal. Hot bath, pain killers and bed. Sounds like heaven at the moment. Just have to hop on chat to see if one of the girls is there to tell her a couple of things and ask a question.

Dillon 2.0 (yes, that really is the nickname he ended up with at work) is going to be a good fit. After eight years of this, four as a trainer, I have a bit of an instinct for how well people are going to work out in surveillance. He's got the right blend of instinct and crazy to make it work. I don't know his previous work history and I could be totally off the mark, but at the same time, the last two people I had this feeling about worked out awesome in the department. And this kid likes anime too. He's also a fan of British humor and loves to talk words. If he didn't already have a girlfriend, I'd be considering..... *winks* Nah, he's a good kid. I'll have to wait and see what James thinks about him, but at the same time, I don't have the worries I had with the last idiot I trained. Now to talk to management tomorrow to see if we're on the same page with when Dillon starts working and we'll be good to go.

Festa 11 has an hour and a halfish left on it's upload and all three discs will be there. For my gals, the link is the one I gave you in the chat last night. If you didn't get it, and want festa, let me know and I'll message it to you. With this one uploaded on other sites, I'm not going to do like I did with the last one and make a general upload post.

Not really true, but I'm still in that mental exhaustion stage from the fibro. Really looking forward to next week when I get two days off. *weak smile*

I've got to start taking pics again. Here's Little Rocky in his blanket. Oh well, if I run out of pics, I'll just have to write more. :) I do have some stuff to write about work, just too tired.

I really didn't want to do this because this is a busy month, fan fiction wise, but I've got to vanish for a while. My shoulder isn't healing up nearly as well as it should be and I can't be at my desk for more than about ten minutes without having to get into the pain killers. My therapist is on holiday until September, so I'm thinking that's when I'll be back. Probably the weekend after Labor Day as Ro and I are going to an anime con in Portland that weekend. *does happy dance carefully*
I will still be checking emails and writing, although obviously not on the computer. *Grins*
*hugs to everyone*
