Firstly, I caught a Ditto! Woo! I’m that bit closer to getting Mew. Wednesday morning, I was sitting in the living room having my breakfast and the house phone starts to ring. Someone ringing the house before 8am usually means bad news so I answered it hesitantly but it was George (who knows me well enough to know that I never have my mobile on me when I’m in the house) yelling about there being a Ditto up past the local newsagents. Cut to me frantically throwing my shoes on and running out the house to meet him and finally catch my Ditto. And to think I used to laugh at George for being obsessed with this game.
Work was better than it has been, I felt like I was making progress on things which is good. This was mainly down to the new hire working on something else for my boss which meant that I wasn’t having to sit with her as much. There’s still looming deadlines which I’m not sure we’ll make but I’m trying very hard not to get too worked up and trying hard to keep my anxiety levels down. The stress headaches I’ve been plagued with eased off a bit this week so hopefully I’m doing something right.
George’s work isn’t going so well. Five weeks ago he got moved departments (he works for a supermarket where ‘very little helps’) due to business needs, the business needs being that the department he was working on no longer needed a night shift. Cut to this week when they’ve moved someone from days on to night shift in that very department - on a Monday - Friday shift pattern which George has been angling for for ages. Needless to say he’s upset. He spoke to the store manager and the store manager seemed really sympathetic and outraged on George’s behalf so I’m hoping it gets sorted. It would be amazing if he could work Mon-Fri as that would give us the full weekends together.
I put some time aside on Friday late afternoon for writing and got a little thing done and posted. I have so many ideas just now but very little motivation to write. I’m hoping to do better next week and have two fics that should be quite short that I hope to get written and posted. I’ve also started properly planning my competitive cycling AU. I’ve been pestering George with so many questions about cycling, lol. I have a plot and the major beats planned out but I want to do some more research on the logistics of the Tour De France and George recommended a book for me that I’ve started to read. I’d really love to have it written for July and post it while the Tour is on. It’s probably going to be long (for me anyway). I’d love it if I could break the 30k barrier.

You know how much we all loved your new ficlet. I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking a 30,000 word story from you would have us all estatic. Maybe I could do some art for it.
