Ugh

Think I'm getting sick. Or maybe it's just my time of the month coupled with the horrible heat. I've had a bad sore throat since last night and a headache all day. Just went out to run errands and I'm going to stay in and take it easy all day today. But just in case, I bought myself popsicles and a whole carton of juice.

Went to the library and bought another dollar's worth of used books for Bookcrossing... and for me. Got some good ones:
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (don't look like it's ever been read!)
Sexuality and the Psychology of Love (by Freud)
A is for Alibi (I've never read the series but how could I pass up the first in it?)
Elf Magic (a collection of 18 short stories about elves)
and...
Horatio Hornblower: Beat to Quarters (SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I also picked up The New World on DVD (rental) at Blockbuster to enjoy this weekend after I finish with Disc 4 of 5 of SG-1 Season 8.
That 3 for $20 sale they were having (when I bought Alfie, Stay, and Fantastic 4) was just changed to 4 for $20. DOH! Oh well. Until I have a time machine, that can't be helped.


Gonna do some work for Work #3 today... and work on some stories. I'll post Strokesfic 'Walking' tonight. There's no sneezing but there's some sort of h/c going on. (Depends how you define h/c)

I also have a book I really want to finish up this weekend. I promised it to someone on BCing and it's a dog book so I want to send it out before the dog challenge ends.

I'm trying out the LJ Scrapbook posting feature here, because I really wanted to share this picture I *finally* downloaded from my camera.

Maxwell sleeping on my bag, by a stack of books and bags of books I just bought home from a book sale. And he's snuggling up to one in particular... I just thought the cover of that book and his position were WAY too cute :-)

Walking posted

I just posted Walking on my Strokes page.
There isn't any sneezing (sorry) but there is some h/c (depending on how you define it) and smut.
It's best read once you've read Olly's Story, just because it features Pit as well, cuz I love the big guy ;-)
