Thing the first: Have been stalled out completely on my SS/HG Exchange fic for a very, very long time. To the point where I was beginning to worry that I might have to dye my hair, change my name and start writing Snarry to avoid the wrath of the Exchange Mods after I begged for an extension.
Then I made Beck read what little I had (and it was "little", believe me) and asked if it was a good start or a bad start. Her answer? "It's a start." Much eye rolling and some brain storming later, I actually think I have something to work with.
Thing the second: Have spoken to the Doctor on Call for the hospital tonight. My period ended a week ago and yet I'm still cramping like WHOA. Been ignoring the constant abdominal discomfort and the occasional flare ups to OMGICEPICKSTABBYOWIEE on the left side for about six days since I figured I'll be seeing my GP in November anyway and last time I had similar pain it continued for months and my doc at the time pretty much told me to suck it up and stop being a wuss and got all distracted by my blood sugar. However, tonight there was surprising bleeding from someplace other than the expected orifice so I think I can forgive my moment of panic that caused me to call the hospital to see if cramping + surprise bleeding = ER? The answer, btw, is apparently no, in case you were wondering. Doctor OnCall did suggest that I may want to have a visit with my FP, which I'm guessing is Doctor OnCall code for GP or PCP or even Doctor TheArmyHasAssignedMeTo. Anywho, now Captain and I have to attempt to get through to the hospital family practice ward on the phone during their appointment taking window of 7 to 7:05 AM in the hopes of getting an emergency appointment.
Sadly, this is not helping me concentrate on my writing. Unless I decide to have Hermione experience the wonder of surprise bleeding from unnamed orifices.
