Mostly real life grumblings

My internal clock's insistence on not being tired until long after six am and then the need to pass out until mid-to-late afternoon is going to be very inconvenient next week, so I've got until Monday morning to reset it and start going to bed at night like a "normal" person.

Monday I have a late morning trip to SC to visit the Crazy!Doc for yet another med check. At this point, I don't even remember when I was first diagnosed, but it would be absolutely lovely to not have to show up every month to discuss tweaking my meds/dosage.

Then, Tuesday afternoon is Captain's latest graduation ceremony and I'm invited to this one, apparently, but it's three hours away and I don't drive that far to unknown places alone anymore (so spoiled, not even funny) so I wasn't going to go. However, Captain went behind my anti-social/stranger-danger-fearing back and talked to his WLC sponsor from our local base and she's willing to drive me up for the graduation since she was planning to go herself, assuming something involving First Sergeant happens (I don't know, blah blah Army politics)... So now I feel like I should put on a dress and some makeup and maybe brush my hair and ride in a car with a perfect stranger for three hours one way and then back. I mean, I love my husband, but I don't particularly like being trapped in small areas with strangers. As "nice" as Captain keeps assuring me she is.

Original point, need to be awake during the day by Monday morning at the latest. So what am I doing right now? I just finished catching up on the Exchange and am now playing about with HTML and photoshop while my latest attempt at the Wideye Potion brews on Pottermore.

Brewing potions is hard, yo.

Also, I wish dueling worked because I want to see how badly I suck at that against an actual opponent.

As to playing with HTML and photoshop, I seriously had forgotten how much I used to enjoy futzing about with that stuff. Little fiddly things amuse me almost as much as alphabetizing things and making spreadsheets (SPREADSHEETS!!).

Good gravy, I'm a nerd.

Flist - Does anyone read Slovak or possibly Czech?

I was looking for something on Google and came across what looks to be one of my fics translated into Slovak (or Czech?), with Missmiah attached to it as the author (I think).

Normally that would be lovely, but I'm pretty sure I never gave anyone permission to translate At the Edge of the World into any language, and if did I'm pretty sure I would have asked that it be credited to Darnedchild and not Missmiah.

Honestly, I don't even know if it is Slovak, I'm just going off what an on-line translator told me, and we all know how utterly unreliable those things are. It couldn't even make up its mind if it was Slovak or Czech.

So - if there's a chance that you can read it, it's here and I'd really like to make sure the story is as it was written (other than the usual rewording that comes from translating something into another language), and also perhaps find out who the translator is and a way to contact them to mention that they really should ask for and receive permission before copying someone else's work, even if it is just translating. I mean, what if I decide to leave the fandom in a huff and take all my toys with me?

J/K.

Or am I?

Seriously though, Slovak and/or Czech anyone?
