It has been a Week and I'm not sure how we got to but here we are. I don't have a lot to say and am still kind of drained, so don't mind me. Sorry I don't have more in me today but I am happy we are all still here.

This post is for:
• being excited about the things you've done this week
• asking for help if you need it
• venting about anything that might need to be flailed over.
• showing off something cool you've done/made/experienced this week.
• being generally enthused and excited about things that have happened.
• just being thrilled that you survived.

Come drop into the comments and let us know how you're doing and how things have gone. While I may not respond to every comment myself, all of you are free to respond to each other and get encouragement, help or whatever else it is you need. If you want to vent without advice being given, please say so and if you want cheering or tips or anything, let us know that too.

I do ask that if you have any triggering topics, that you mention them in the subject line or first line of your comment. This is just so people can make informed decisions on what to read and keep everyone okay. <3 Thank you so much.

My embroidery was well received

[kendiefox]

\o/ Heck yeah!

[angelofthenorth]

That's amazing! It looks so good! And like so much care and work went into it!

[dreamerinsilico]

That's lovely!

[tamsin]

It looks very pretty!

I finished a sock! I now have a pair of cabled socks.

I practiced self-care when I had a bad brain day. (I'm still having a bad brain day; I will be very happy when the sun returns.)

[tamsin]

Go you! Bad brain days suck.

[angelofthenorth]

Woohoo well done

[dreamerinsilico]

CABLED SOCKS ARE AWESOME, well done!

[tamsin]

I've been preparing for recording a podfic and of course now that I'm ready to start, I have a sore throat and am hoarse. :(

[angelofthenorth]

Poor you. Feel better soon

[tamsin]

Thank you! I've been drinking lots of tea, I hope it helps.

Ginger tea -- slices of ginger in hot water, optionally with honey -- is good. There's an instant version called "Prince of Peace Ginger Honey Crystals".

[kendiefox]

That's a bummer! At least all the tech stuff is ready when you're feeling better? Which I very much hope will be soon.

My week has been an absolute rollercoaster. But somehow I posted two fanfics and wrote 13.5k on another. (Thor/Loki mundane AU where Asgard is a construction company and Loki has found a "second family" in the local kink community. It's a totally bizarre premise and I am having WAY too much fun with it.)

[kendiefox]

Boo for an 'exciting' week.

Yay for getting fic posted and working on yet more!

[flybirds]

Oooh, will there be links at some point?

That sounds quite intriquing, not at all bizarre settings.

Lots of writing despite weeks from hell is a win.

[bladespark]

Well, I'll link on my journal when I post it, certainly. I can try to link it here as well, if I remember. :3

[flybirds]

Your journal is totally fine and I will be happy to read. <3

[mdlbear]

I finished a 1500-word post yesterday that's been hanging around for the last month or so.

The editor for my for-pay writing project liked my outline and has sent it on to their client. This may eventually result in my having to do more writing. This of course activates my impostor's syndrome.

I am still having writer's block wrt FAWM. Songwriter's block? Something like that.

My friend that I was having an unfortunate communication breakdown with and I worked things out, and I'm optimistic about our relationship moving forward. I had to wait a while for her to be ready to talk about it, though, and am trying to be kind to myself about having slipped into avoidant (and very unproductive) habits harder than usual while I was waiting to have that talk.

We survived! I'm sorry you're still feeling run-over by the week and I hope the next one is easier. <3

After a hideous week and a half, I had an excellent phone call with my parents that helped put things in perspective and reminded me that I have their support no matter what.

[flybirds]

Getting support and love is so awesome, glad for the good call. :)
