Jan. 4th, 2018 11:11 am The app that I found that works with dreamwidth hasn't been working lately. I've written posts several times this last month and they never posted. Oh well. It's annoying to type out posts on my phone, but with work and the kids it's not always easy to get to a chance to write on my computer.
Today I have a surprise day off thanks to some car troubles. I brought in wood for the stove because the temperature is suppose to drop (isn't it already cold enough?!) It's currently 18F/-8C and I got about halfway through before my fingers and toes got too cold to continue. After posting this and warming up, I'll go back out there and finish the job. By Saturday the high is supposed to only be around -1F/-18C and the low around -10F/-23C. It's already hit -18F/-28C around New Year. Yuck! They're also expecting 40mph/64mph winds gusts and windchills around -35F/-37C.
So, it's cold. At least we're not supposed to get most of the snow from the blizzard that's supposed to hit the east coast.
I've written a bit more fanfic this past year (I'm amycooper on ao3) than I have for a while. I'm hoping that continues on into this year. It's good to write, you know? It's been mostly SGA and Due South stuff. Nothing particularly long. Still, something.
I visited my family for the holidays. I think I'm going to try talking to my mother about seeking some treatment for anxiety. She's always had issues (it runs in the family-both my maternal grandparents have OCD) and it has clearly only been getting worse for her. She's always been anxious but she's clearly having some difficulty making basic decisions right now.
I hadn't been to my dad's house in two years. Dad was really drunk before I even got there and proceeded to harass my 2yo to the point that she fears him now and he and my stepmom spent a good while mocking and making fun of their neighbors after they stopped by to give them cookies in the most racist way imaginable because they were Korean. It'll be AT LEAST two years before I'm back. To be honest? At this point if they didn't have my niece and nephew living with them, I probably wouldn't bother with them at all.
Finn's doing well in school (though reading is still a struggle, but he's starting to improve). Amelia really loves her daycare. Both kids made out like bandits for Christmas. My husband and I are going away, just the two of us, later this month. I can't wait.
