I still see you when the lights get low
Oct. 24th, 2025 11:02 amDon't worry, just making Sleep Token lyrics (or lyrics from the songs I listen to overall) as subject headings because why not lol
Finished a short Hannigram fic as I decided to read "Love and Other Historical Accidents" by Pacific Rimbaud because they are removing that fic from AO3 soon. I figured I should try it out and wanted to get the fic I'd been putting off done as it was short. LAOHA has been on my to read list for a while but just haven't been in the mood for Dramione.
Found out today that my one time boss, favorite boss if I'm honest, is moving positions and it makes me worried for my current job here when the platform I support goes away. I'll probably try to not worry until we get closer to June 2026, but suddenly I'm feeling less certain that I'll be moved to something else in this group at that time.
Anyway, time keeps moving forward.

Dear Yuletide Writer Letter 2025
Oct. 24th, 2025 12:51 pmHello!
Thank you for signing up to the challenge and I’m very excited you got matched with me.
General things about my likes and dislikes; 1) I usually write m/m when I write myself, but am always happy with good gen, 2) I’m happy with any rating from the lightest, fluffiest gen to the most explicit NC17, and I’m good with most kinks including BDSM (my particular kink being orgasm delay/denial/control), incest and rapefic if that’s your jam, with the exceptions being scat, water sports or blood play, and actual damage either physical or mental; and finally 3) I’m all about the happy ending, so no darkfic or death fic please (other than cannon if necessary), but I‘m perfectly happy for them to suffer along the way to a happy ending!
Treats are cherished!
Some more specifics about my requests:( Read more... )

Boostle Update
Oct. 23rd, 2025 10:37 pmSomeone stuck both my boostle fic on goodreads. Which... sighs. Maybe that's where all the traffic is coming from?
I should figure out how to get them taken down, but don't have the energy to care.

Needing to whine somewhere so might as well utilize my blog.
When I posted this morning, I felt fine. But as I went through the process of getting ready for work, my mood tanked and it just felt very much like "The Universe is fucking with me." Nothing huge, just little stupid moments where things would slip or drop out of my bags or I couldn't find what I was looking for. Then, I take my morning pills and vitamins, and if I don't have something, like a protein drink or breakfast, I get stomach cramps. And this morning? Yeah, even though I had breakfast and my protein drink, I had stomach cramps for over half my 35-minute commute. And so far, while at work, my stomach hasn't been happy. Including random cramping. So yeah, whining a bit as a result. Tomorrow is Friday, thank goodness, I'll be so grateful when I go home Friday night.
Also, I've been trying to do my hobby plan but I think I'm going to try doing the weekly schedule because while I get a little bit done, sure, I always hate stopping. So yeah, I'll try that again, especially with how I'm trying to stick to this routine. It doesn't give me a lot of time to decompress in the evenings or makes me feel like I have even less time.

Last song listened to:
Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong. . .
Oct. 23rd, 2025 07:29 amI started keeping a To Do log again in my journal that I carry with me to work and suddenly my life seems so much more together. It's weird the way that little habit helps. Helps at work, at home, and so on. It's not quite as involved as when I was bulletjournaling but it's something. And I've added some personal project details, as well as a physical list of things like "Books to Buy", "Books to Read Next", Honor Harrington series in chronological order, and a list how to decide what to read next, because I have like 4 sources, or lists, of books that I have created over the years and have yet to put it all together into one. Not for lack of trying though lol.
Anyway, this goes hand in hand with my project to reset my personal scheduling, i.e. get up earlier and go to bed earlier. Which up until this last Monday was not a thing I was too worried about. I mean, it was something I ultimately wanted but my reaction to anything I don't want to do but know I probably should is to dig in my heels and procrastinate. However, I saw those meeting refreshes for the "pulse check" at 5:45am from my former boss who still is keeping an eye out for me made me realized I should probably start attending those so I kinda of know what's going on, as well as being a fly on the wall observing and taking everything in.
So, the whole point of this is to share what my plans are today. Personally, of course, work will remain in the book because I don't want anything in my blog to be oversharing with regards to my job and the details of that.
To Do:
Ultimately my schedule/routine is not set in stone, as I frequently have experienced the last few days since I have started this "reprogramming". I did fold my laundry this morning, which is a win, because usually I leave that in a basket for about 2 to 4 cycles (I wash on Wednesdays and Sundays). It's always better to fold than not because then you can actually find what clothes you want to wear with less difficulty, shocker I know.
It's now 7:45 in the morning and I need to get ready to go into the office for 7 to 8 hours, so I'm going to wrap this up. Maybe I'll update this evening again, or maybe this will become part of the morning routine. Especially since I'm up puttering around anyways. (I also have tried to avoid getting up earlier than 7:30 or so in the past because my stepdad likes to talk in the morning and I do not.)
And I was just thinking about a title to this entry when I remembered I was happy the last song I listened too last night was "The Love You Want" by Sleep Token so I could share it to the blog. It's one of the few with an actual music video and has a trigger warning because it deals with suicide/rebirth and so on. Like a time loop. But I'm sharing the song track from Youtube as it won't play with the actual music video in the blog as a result.
Current Read: John Scalzi - Redshirts (I feel like I should find some other way to title this than "Current Read" because it's more like a struggle lol)

And now it's 8:00 AM and my plan to be in to work by 8 or 8:30 is fucked because I chose to write this blog entry HAHAHA *sigh*

- Library/ebook organization
- Check ST socials
- Update blog (DW)
- Scoop cat box
- Wipe counters/sink/stove
