*sighs* having a real week with my bike. my back light has somehow decided to launch itself OFF the bike at a moment I did not notice it and now is lost to the universe, so that’s another trip down the bike shop for a new set of lights.

me: surely my dragon age fic draft will not top 40K I don’t have that much to say right dragon age fic draft: has broken 40K and is. not. done. (I’m hoping to lose a bit in editing I think I’ve repeated myself as I’ve written all over the place but even so…)

love a call from the bike shop that is “I mean it’s fine and we can do all your basic bits and tune it up in additional to sorting your puncture but you will be due another forty quid bill to sort out a bracket at some point in the next six months”

I love my bicycle, except when I get a massive blowout puncture halfway home (and also halfway between my two regular bike shops) and I’ve got no choice but to walk it all the way back. bless the cyclists who went past me five minutes from home asking if I needed help though!

9-1-1: he’s in a body bag and all the cast and crew are saying goodbye, he’s definitely dead me, a person who watched Battlestar Galactica: yeah they did this to Katee Sackhoff three episodes before a season finale and she was not dead, actually, I’m not sure I do believe you

*sighs* I could achieve so many things at my job if I was left alone to focus on my job instead of focussing on admin / finance problems, I swear. I would like my best favouritest colleague back from maternity leave please and thank you.

insane things happening on 9-1-1 this week, truly insane, why not have a firefighter captain with basic EMT certification do a thoracotomy, why not threaten to arrest the baby firefighter on international terrorism charges, why NOT

someone tell me not to respond to my mothers petty text about forgetting a family birthday as if I should in fact be upset that members of my family will now be sending me less money for my own birthday, as if I need or want it?

this morning I can breathe better but I’m still living in a pile of tissues and feeling sorry for myself and there’s only so many cups of tea one can drink to make oneself feel better.

at the stage of a cold where I’m just bunged up and annoyed about it, I would like the ability to breathe clearly to return from the wars thanks.

got to hold my colleague’s baby again today (and had the honour of being pooped on) and came home and bought a sewing pattern for a dress she won’t be big enough for until next year.

making slow progress on this sewing project but it does feel clothing shaped now at least (eventually it will be a dress)

Breakfast in good company. #Art #Fanart #DragonAge

watching arcane and you know what it is deeply deeply compelling how much of a complete mess of everything everyone is making. as always, I am this gif

today I got to hold a baby and you know what life does actually feel better having done that.

the more I write of this dragon age fic the more ace-spec cullen rutherford becomes I swear

listen, trixie franklin’s gay brother is clearly not the focus of call the midwife and neither should he be but I would also like it known I would watch an entire series about what he’s doing when he’s not hanging out with a bunch of nuns and nurses in poplar

latest bit from my dragon age wip, in which solas and my dalish warden get on about as well as solas and my dalish inquisitor aka not well, and they've been left alone with nothing to do but argue.

don’t want to work just want to write my dragon age fanfic … alas

to Cassandra, beloved #dragonage

my very favourite movie of all time 💖

Ordered a bunch of new fabric to make things out of, should keep me going for a while

It's Anders week over at tumblr, and I missed my mage bae | #Anders #Dragonage

15k done… writing progresses… I have a point I’m writing towards and a bunch to fill back in as well. Ever onwards. Maybe I’ll actually get to the bits in Inquisition I need to reference in my replay before I need to write them.

me: you should really finish off some of your 70% done WIPs, there's some solid work here also me: ploughs 10k into a dragon age fanfic which might have a plot but is also every thought i have about the franchise at once.

friends who have babies or friends who are much better at gift giving than I am: I have been put in charge of sourcing my colleague a present as a congratulations for her new, upcoming baby. are there any nice things that would have just, made your life better? budget: £200ish

noodling away at dragon age fic, because doing a second run is not enough when all the characters from run one are occupying my head about the paths they couldn't take in the game... (see: the inquisitor and anders, previously discussing blackwall.)
