Grrr. Hayfever's really bad today, as are the sinuses, plus I'm knackered because I only got about 4 1/2 hours' sleep, despite actually getting to bed before midnight. Blooming PMT. Always disturbs my sleep. Well, so does a certain 2 year old wanting a nappy change at 1.00 am and then waking up half an hour later with a nightmare. So it looks like I'll be using his nap time to have a nap myself again, for the third day running. I was really looking forward to actually being able to use the time to write instead today.

Because that's the weird thing. I'm starting to realise that the times when I actually feel like writing are generally the week before my period and the week of it. Maybe it's because I get emotional, and therefore actually feel stuff. But it's jolly annoying because it makes it even harder to stay calm with Jack when he's crowding me and I just want to get that bit of story in my head typed up before it disappears!

Speaking of writing, I now appear to have three fics actively on the go (none of which are my Finish-a-thon story) - Master Plan, a new Master/Doctor story, and now Jack's visit to Lorne pre-S1 which Morgyn requested last time I asked for prompts way back before Christmas - I suddenly got a bunny for that last night! :-)

Everyone at work had allergy/sinus stuff yesterday. A bunch of people on my flist do. It's still to damn cold here, to be a problem, for me. :crosses fingers:

New Doctor/Master? Lorne and Jack? Both sound wonderful. Lorne and Jack sound like a witty, flirty explosion waiting to happen. *g*.

It's cold here too, today. I think it's the wind that's the problem, blowing pollen around.

Yeah, we'll see how the writing goes. I seem to have a talent for starting things and not finishing them at the moment. :-(

Grrr. IJ notifications are not working again...

Jack and I are off for our nap now, will reply on Lucy's behalf when I wake, though then we're off to Mum's for an hour or two. I'll be around this evening though. :-)

I spoke too soon on allergies. Could be worse, but it's way warmer today then predicted and am a little stuffy.

I won't be around after 10ish your time, though. :sigh:

Oh dear, hope it doesn't get too bad for you!

That's all right, I don't expect you to be around all the time! And when no-one's around, that's when I actually get round to watching telly or catching up with my flist (though that's worryingly quiet today) or even, you know, on my writing! *g*

Eeep, I hate allergies! I'm so glad mine aren't acting up yet, but I'm sure that'll start soon enough *hugs you*

Hm. Interesting observation, that.

*hugs back* Thanks! Fortunately the antihistamines and Sudafed seem to have quelled the problems for the moment, but I'm sure there's more fun ahead.

Antihistamines are just great. Both my mum and I are taking them already (maybe that's why my lesser allergies haven't bothered me this year *ponders*), but unfortunately, the ones I take are never strong enough to actually help once the birches start blossoming *pouts at pollen*

There's always more fun ahead. More pollen, new pollen... etc. And I hear this year there's going to be a lot of pollen. Or so they say. But I've got my antihistamines and my inhalators, so I'm prepared.

I swear I have to start taking the damn things earlier every year! It used to be about May, I'm sure! And it goes on till about September!

It is better, actually, now I've actually got some antihistamines at last! :-)

I usually take them from around... January/February till June or so. I just wish I wouldn't have to spend my favourite months of the year (spring! \o/) hiding behind closed windows popping little pills *grins*

Yeah, that's pretty good. I don't even want to think about not having them. ... I really don't. Especially since it's just getting worse instead of better. I mean, I thought I was going to grow out of it *whines*

Huh, yeah, my mum said the doctor once told her you grew out of it after 20 years. Well, I've had it ever since I can remember and I'm now 35. Something wrong there...

Our doctors only ever told us it's possible to grow out of it. Of course, I was hoping I would...

My mum's growing out of now. Or so it seems. What with menopause and all, apparently her allergies are getting better, too. Something to look forward to, at least *pouts*

More fic = Good. But tired you = Bad *hugs*

I usually write fic when I'm terribly tired and that little voice in my head is too drowsy to shout 'CRAP' at me

*giggles* That's a good explanation for it! :-)

*hugs your sinuses* - oh well - you know what I mean... Is it the trees?

That's an interesting - and not as totally awful as most of them - side effect of PMT. I almost wish I had it almost

Three fics is good *applauds* and I was good and remembered that seeing the name Lorne does NOT have to automatically mean SGA fic.

Yeah, seems to be trees like everyone else. :-( My sinuses hug you back... *g*

At the moment, on the anti-depressants, I'm kind of glad that I do at least feel enough to write some of the time, even if those same feelings make life more difficult. Seem to be coping a bit better at the moment though. Today wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I'm getting better at deep breaths before reacting. Though once the stress of moving kicks in...

*g* I wondered if I ought to specify which Lorne, but figured you'd all know who I meant!

figured you'd all know who I meant!
Well yes it is *you* after all so a nice green Lorne is only to be expected.

ETA and then I saw your icon - now there's appropriate!
