Another rotten night

I wish I knew why I had such a bad night last night. Could it be the old hormone dance? Seems too early in the month for that. I actually got to bed at a decent hour, but at three, I was tossing and turning on the bed, my feet burning. Got up and checked email then back to bed when I thought things had calmed down. But it hadn't. It took a foot massage and an all-over body massage (and more) from my hubby to finally get me relaxed and pain-free enough to sleep. This was around six a.m. and I slept in until 11:30.

I've only been up an hour at this point. No breakfast, which means no meds yet. I've posted my new TB one-shot, Mr. Sunshine, at fanfiction.net. We'll see what kinds of reviews it gets. Good ones, I hope, and lots of them. I've been rather disappointed by the reviews on Turnabout (Rain had a good perspective on it; it doesn't appeal to those who want to lust after the Tracy boys. Thanks, Rain!) and the fact that Boomercat has found a nifty new betareader has dealt a blow to my confidence.

Sigh.

Things will get better. I'll finish out Turnabout and move on to Washed Up (which needs a better title) and see what I can do there. I should go out and find a list of what Mary Sues are and do so I can take each and every one of them and stand it on its head. Today though I'll get my shower and watch Thunderbirds Are Go with my boys (the girl is spending the weekend with her cousin) and enjoy having my hubby home for a couple of days.

Having a good chuckle!

Decided to check out Rain's domain and see what interesting things she had hidden in there and came across her LJ and her hero type. Took the test myself (signing up for the site in the interim) and this is what came up for me.

My Inner Hero - Wizard!

There are many types of magic, but all require a sharp mind and a cool head. There is no puzzle I can't solve, no problem I can't think my way out of. When you feel confused or uncertain, you can always rely on me to untangle the knots and put everything back in order for you.

I hope this shows up the way it's supposed to when I update the journal. But I thought that the test was a lot of fun and yes, I am a wizard. I fit the description very well. And I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad one!

Also heard from my dad and for the first time found out that they are flying here on the 9th and will drive to Florida to meet the cruise ship on the 12th then drive back here for the 19th and stay for a whole week! Woo Hoo! I have really missed having my parents live nearby. It will be nice to see them, and my sister and BIL, too. But it doesn't give me much time to clean my house!
