Well, my physical went well, everything within normal parameters except the bloodwork hasn't come back yet. Prescription filed for a three-month patch, so, fuckit, we'll try this whole three months on one week off or something, thing. Considering I had massively light cycles on the regular monthly patch anyway and this makes everything much much cheaper, unless it has horrible side effects I should be okay. (Also it's been out for, what, five years now? I feel that's long enough to dip a toe in the water.)

Anyway. And then this morning was a whole thing with Russian and pronouncing and everyone involved got a headache. But then I remembered we had Pronunciator and all was well again. At that rate we might even work on Arabic, although god knows what kind of fluency we'll get in which dialects. That ought to be fun.

Speaking of fun, the fuck is this net neutrality shit. Because of course people have a choice in their ISP with the anti-monopoly laws hamstrung and lots of counties, let alone states, with only one real ISP in the area oh wait they don't.

Um. What else. I re-read All That Glitters and now I want to write more for it. Despite not having seen Once Upon A Time since before the first season finale. All I know is that the Charmings are trying to give the Summerses a run for their money for who has the most fucked up family tree. And there's also the problem of if/when Belle gets out, and Rumple/Gold is still in love with her. And then the problem of, well, I have twenty other things to do that aren't that.

Sigh. I suppose I'd better get doing some of those things. Starting with Russian.

Down to the bottom of page 29! Oh Anton. Though really most of the Watch books is an endless stream of "Oh Anton" for one reason or another. Slowly picking up words here and there, with repetition. For instance I have now seen vampire and werewolf (вампир and оборотень) often enough to have them stuck, as well as the string of возможно (possible/perhaps) невозможно (impossible) по возможно (if possible, I think?) enough to probably use that conversationally if I had to. It's coming! Very, very slowly. I should do more Memrise, too.

(Oddly, German isn't doing this very slowly thing. German's doing that stealth thing where I read and read and read and suddenly notice that I'm reading faster than I was. German is freaky that way.)

So, I got my flu immunization for the remainder of the winter and had my blood taken from the same arm and now that arm's giving me fits every time I move it at all extensively. Not unusual fits, before anyone freaks out, the usual "what the fuck did you do to me" thing. At least this only happens once a year. But. Ugh. Also the pharmacy won't have my prescription in till tomorrow. Double ugh.

Though on the very plus side I'm only paying for it once every three months now. I will take a savings on cleaning my damn underwear and a savings of $120 every three months. Heh.

I have edits to do. I don't want to do edits. I want to read books and write my damn dime novels, which I'm finally getting back into the spirit of writing again. It helps that reading the fairy porn (which I downed two of over the past few days) makes me want to go "BUT NO I CAN TOTALLY WRITE THIS SHIT BETTER" which, if I can translate that into a dime novel? Bonus. But, yes, edits. Edits for the last couple hours of the day, then more writing when I get home. And checking German because, hell, I could use a refresher on the rules of genitive case too.

(... can I just hang out and write dime novels. I darling Darren so fucking much.)
