Highs and lows

valis2Low: I am sick. And I'm really bummed, because we're going to my sister's tonight, and we're supposed to have dinner and watch Wall-E, which I haven't seen yet. And I've been totally looking forward to this because I haven't seen my parents in months and they're only here for two nights and it will be a lot of fun. Or would have been. I mean, I think I can go, but I really don't want to get my parents sick, y'know? Ugh. I'm all congested and my sinuses are really pissed off.
It's either all the dust I inhaled yesterday when I was playing the piano (look, I haven't played in ages because it was in a dark corner and I didn't have a lamp and now that I just put the bulbs in the lamp and I played yesterday all this dust seemed to come out of it--I think I need to open it up and vacuum it), or it's Plague Girl who was sitting next to me at work all week. Husband thinks it's the plague.
High: the story. Even though I was sure I could get it out in 6000 words, it ended at 9500. (Don't laugh,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
oddmonster.) And with the copious notes and lyrics and crap, it's just barely below the word limit for a LJ entry, which makes me breathe a sigh of relief, because I really didn't want to have to do a two-part entry.
It was at 8400, but I was a little uncertain about the ending, and then Husband voiced the same thing, so I knew something was off, and I reworked it a bit. I still like the original ending better in a way, but I think the story is better overall for the second ending, so that's what I'll use. And Husband has just read second ending, and really really really likes the whole story now. So I'm really excited. I think I'll post it tomorrow.
I was relieved that he liked the second ending--honestly, I only had 150 words left to play with if he hadn't. heh.
I'm definitely going to post it here, because it's not slash, well, at least, it's not overtly slashy. You can imagine what you want to happen later, of course. *grins*
Haven't done screencaps in a while. I'm thinking about picking up where I left off. I'm also up for new icons, too, because I made one the other day, and almost made a few last night. Need more Riptide boys!

Well, here I am now, enjoying the fruits of my stupid thought pattern.
Have just had a nice mug of Theraflu. Hopefully that will let me sleep!
