I had a chiropractic appointment this morning. Sciatica was noticeable today (a sharp-ish pain below my buttock at the top of my thigh), but not horrible. I hit Walmart, Agway and the Pharmacy while I was downtown. I also picked up Chinese for lunch.

(They opened early, which excited me because I thought I'd have to wait 20 min for them to open before I could order. So I ordered and returned 20 min later, but even though the food was ready, the cook was still the only person there and he obviously did not do cashing out. So I had to wait for that person, who was a good 10 min late. Then they realized he'd made the wrong thing for me, so I had to wait for him to make the correct thing. *head desk* It took as long as if they'd just opened on time at 11am.)

I did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, ran a load in the dishwasher, went for a walk with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, and showered. Supper was leftovers, which was nice for me. *g*

I watched the current ep of Tracker and some HGTV programs, and finished Top Gun: Maverick. Which has given me a bunny separate from what the person at [community profile] fandomgiftbasket asked for. o_O It felt nice to be able to be home all afternoon without having to run mom to an appointment.

Temps started out at 25.9(F) and reached 49.1. There was sun, but it was cold.


Mom Update:

I did not see mom today as Sister A took her to her treatment. I did speak to her on the telephone and she sounded good. She said the appointment went well, but walking into the building was hard. (I did not say ‘I told you so’ about keeping up walking at home over the weekend. Yes, it was difficult.)

Fandom: Hamlet (William Shakespeare)
Pairings/Characters: Ophelia, Hamlet, Laertes, Polonious, Claudius (genderflipped to Claudia), Gertrude, Fortinbras, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (genderflipped to Rosie and Goldie), Claudia/Gertrude
Rating: Teen
Length: 11,174
Creator Links: AO3 profile.
Themes: Uncommon Settings, IN SPACE, Murder Mystery, Alternate Ending

Summary: Hamlet in space, starring sensible and heroic Ophelia, genderswapped Claudius, clones Rosencrantz and Guilderstern and alien Fortinbras. (Alas, there are no sharks in space riding motorcycles, nor is there a time machine.) (Taken from AO3)

Reccer's notes: This is just an extremely well-done sci-fi take on the classic play, with Ophelia as the protagonist. I really enjoy the species changes to certain characters, and the way the author plays with the well-known story beats to create something unique. The author's notes at the end also have some interesting insights into the writing choices they made.

I DVR’d and watched some Hallmark Christmas movies this week; some were just okay, but some were pretty good.


1. Marrying Father Christmas: This movie stared Niall Matter (Eureka) and Erin Krakow. It was not as good as I expected it to be. Firstly, it turns out this is the second movie (Engaging Father Christmas is the first) in which they were getting ready for their wedding on Christmas Day. Naturally. Also naturally, Things Happen. It was alright, but nothing I’d bother watching again, not even to see the first movie. The worst part was when Niall’s character got ‘choked up’ while standing at the alter. I was like, wtf is that expression supposed to be?!! o_O

Have you seen any of these movies? What did you think? Will you watch them based on my comments? o_O *g*

I did a load of laundry, hand-washed dishes, went for a walk with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and changed kitty litter. I also softened a gallon jug of honey on the stove and poured it into canning jars to give to my family. (We have one more that’s been sitting around that needs softening, plus the bee-guy (who keeps hives at the garage, and used to keep them on our property at home) has told Pip he has more honey for him, so we need to use up the old.)

I’ve been wanting to do this for months (see: procrastination) because I wanted to send a package, including honey, to Alaska!niece. She loves it and it’s hard to get up there, and very expensive.

I watched a Hallmark Christmas movie and part of Top Gun: Maverick. I also attended Ireland’s Sweet 16 birthday party. (I can’t believe it!)

My buttock/leg started to hurt the longer we were at my sister's house. It had been feeling a bit better, but it's like, the farther away from an adjustment I get, the more it hurts.

Temps started out at 31.8(F) and reached 52.0. It was sunny, but felt cool.

I hit Price Chopper and the Bakery while I was downtown (and Stewart’s later on the way home from mom’s).

I did two loads of laundry, hand-washed dishes, ran a load in the dishwasher, went for several walks with Pip and the dogs, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, scooped kitty litter, and showered. I grilled country style pork ribs for supper.

I watched the current ep of Matlock, an HGTV program, a Hallmark Christmas movie, and two more eps of Mistletoe Murders. I'm still feeling a slight discomfort from the sciatica.

Temps started out at 39.6 and dropped to 36.7(F) before I left the house an hour later. The towels were stiff as a board when I took them off the mums at about 9am, so we must’ve gotten frost. Whether it was before we got up, or after, I’m not sure. Can the temps drop that fast and create frost? Temps reached 52.0. It was cool and breezy most of the day.


Mom Update:

Mom was feeling very off today. more back here )
mific: Sepia pic john sheppard and rodney mckay leaning heads together, serious (McShep - intense)
[personal profile] mific posting in [community profile] fancake
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Rating: Gen
Length: 1133 & 700
Content Notes: No AO3 warnings apply. There are explicit details about a normal full-term delivery in Plus Ça Change.
Creator Links: toomuchplor on AO3
Themes: Uncommon settings, Friends to lovers, Complete AU: hospital, Humor

Summaries: Technically he *wasn’t* Dr. Sheppard, not for another two months, but it was standard for medical students to introduce themselves that way. It reassured the patients. It didn’t do anything for John’s sense of inner calm.
“Unh,” said McKay, and folded his arms under his face before flopping down again. The position pulled the sleeves of his scrubs top taut around his biceps. “If I hide here it’s harder for the interns to find me.”

Reccer's Notes: For a fandom rich in AUs, there are very few medical AUs in SGA. This is an excellent two-part series and I recommend reading it in reverse series order, as the second part is a prequel. In Plus Ça Change, John blunders into an unexpected ER situation as a 4th year medical student doing an ambulance ride-along, and meets Rodney, a medical resident. The other story, Living Will, is set 3 years later by which time they know each other well and John's an ER resident, Rodney now being chief medical resident. The stories are funny, with great characterisation and snark, and accurate medical details. Very much recommended!
