Awesome Monday

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

Hello my lovelies....

It's Monday again. I can hear the collective groans. It'll be a good day, because awesomeness awaits us.

First off, I would like to wish [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] a very Happy Birthday! May you have an awesome day.

Secondly, August Rush has started and it looks like we all are having a blast with it. Keep up the amazing work.

Third and final, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] is a running a promptathon, so toddle on over and see what is shaking.

So let's hear how y'all plan to be awesome this week.

Me, I've got a story for August Rush to finish.

Happy birthday to Miss H!

And this morning was harder than most Mondays because the kids went back to school today. Kind of killing me to know I have a sophomore and a senior this year.

I know I'm having fun with August Rush so far. Need to get caught up on that as well.

I started a SPN story on Friday that I want to finish today. Not related to any of our AR prompts yet (unless I get a Cas pic this week sometime), so it's just a bonus. Er, if anything I produce can be called a bonus. :D So, between that and my icons, I think I have a good week ahead.

Good luck with your story, too. Which fandom did you pick?

Congrats on surviving back to school - never easy, shifting schedules around. :|

Will look forward to that SPN fic. :) Eeee. Cas fic. Yes.

Thank you! Check back this time next year when my child starts college though. I might need a shoulder. :D

YAY CAS! He's easily my favorite angel, right up there with Gabriel.

It'll be all right. They're probably thinking, "Oh God, Here we go again."

It's a Marvel story since I can't ever get away from that fandom. I might even pull out a SPN since there was a Dean pic that tickled the Muse's fancy.

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

I agree - they know their routines and what needs to be done. It's good I can leave them and know they'll get to school on time. :D

Oh nice! I don't know enough about Marvel to write in it (aside from that one Thor fic that K instigated), but I love the movies. Good luck with it! Was it today's pic because that one of him and Sam made me cackle.

It's Thursday pic of Cap and Bucky.

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

I liked that one. :D

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I managed to make it last two days with lunch out and gifts on Tues as well as Monday's goodies! ;-)

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome and I'm glad you got to drag it out a bit, you deserve it after the house stuff!

[thatwasjustadream (from livejournal.com)]

Happppy Birrrrthday Haldoor! Hope it was a fun one.

I'm going to try to write something. Lol. Yeah. It's been an odd time - partly due to Gishwhes (which is now done) and partly because of running which takes up a lot of my time and energy. I felt a lot better last night, reading a blog from a runner who said long distances leave her uninterested in her usual blogging/social media life. It's not just me!

I have a story to finish, another for a challenge to complete and then will take stock and decide what to focus on the rest of the month. That's my plan!

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

Are you training for another mini-marathon?

I know I get disinterested in anything computer related when I start reading, but I've finished all the books I got from the library last time and feel like I'm going through withdraw.

[thatwasjustadream (from livejournal.com)]

Thank you! Yes, am training but for a full marathon this time because apparently I've lot what's left of my mind. :). I don't know if I'll get all the way there, but at least I'll be able to say I tried. We are in week five of sixteen, woo hoo!

I know what you mean - when I don't write I miss it. If I'm smart, I'll he'd to sleep and try to get a good rest, then aim for words before work.

Thank you, darling! I had a lovely couple of days on it! ;-)

[agdhani.livejournal.com]

how my day/week will go will depend on whether or not I strangle the bureaucrats who are getting in the way of getting stuff done at work...

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

Let me know if you need help hiding the bodies.

[agdhani.livejournal.com]

This matter would have been sorted Friday if the bureaucrat actually LOOKED at the attachments I'd sent...instead of assuming they were something else (and therefore wrong). Her response of "oh...I see it now..." after 2 days of aggravation is just...grrrrrr

Good think she's back east and I'm in California...

Of course, the county govt. bureaucrats who are giving my boss fits are not helping...

It's like a month of Mondays today.

Fortunately, I got in 2 hrs of editing before all of that happened.

Happy Birthday, haldoor. <3

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I had a lovely birthday! ;-)

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

This week's awesome is a bit of a struggle as I try to negotiate my husband's constant anxiety/worries over things he can't control, and aim to steer him in the direction of relaxation, not to mention the buying of additional furniture (money anxiety even though we can afford it) so that the boxes on the floor (mess anxiety) will have places to go and no longer be cluttering the floor! Once we get the extra storage things, perhaps I can then get him to relax enough to enjoy the cruise we're going on at the end of the month!

Words and graphics? What are those, again? *sigh*

Good luck with the hubby wrangling.
