I got a full time job!!!!!!  It's with Public Storage and I'll be going to the various stores and relieving the managers for their off days.  The job itself is super easy.  I have to go fill out paperwork on Monday, and Tuesday I'll be getting Joey's daycare voucher and getting him enrolled somewhere. I'm making more money per hour than at Lane Bryant, and getting twice the hours- it's a win-win!  And if Joey gets sick and I have to get him from daycare, I can bring him to my office wherever I am until I can take him home or until someone can come get him.  And once I've gotten all my daily duties out of the way, I can sit and write during the downtime!  Or walk the facility a couple of times for exercise!  Or watch netflix!  I'm going to ask about the apartment thing on Monday.  I don't know if I can get one since I won't have a store of my own, but the store I interviewed at, that apartment appeared to be empty.  I'm so excited to start and get going with it!  Things are starting to look up a little at last!

Well, at least on the job front they are.  My bathtub isn't draining at all, and whenever Cliff takes a shower it backs up into my tub.  And while my van is finally fixed, I don't have insurance or tags on it right now.  It's frustrating as hell right now to just have one car, but as big of a pain in the ass as that is, I'd rather be able to take a damn shower than drive my van.

Got Joey's easter basket ready, was going tot ry to take him to see the Easter Bunny tomorrow or Tuesday (my only two off days).  We'll see what happens.

Edo/Fred/Fredward/Frederal agent puppy hurt himself out in the yard today.  His right front paw was bleeding from in between his pinky and third toes. He's limping but the bleeding stopped fairly quickly.  I have no idea what happened out there, I'm just thankful he wasn't hurt any worse.  Flop the cat is still with us.  He goes outside every night through the doggie door and climbs up and down in my neighbor's tree until he gets tired.  Then he comes in and eats and sleeps and attacks my feet lol.  He's such a sweet kitty, I'm surprised he's fit in as easily as he has.  If Koga could just get his scent into his head permanently so he wouldn't sniff him for hours after he comes back from being outside, we'd all be in good shape.

Celestial Ciphers is at a standstill.  I'm worried I'm way off track with Lan Fan's characterization. If anyone would like to look it over for me, I'd love some opinions.  bay115 is doing a great job with my technical and grammatical and tense errors, I'm just so uncertain about that one part of the first chapter...  And of course missyquill is doing a fine job as well, but she's super mega ultra busy, and I don't wanna bug her with such unimportant stuff.

And my thoughts are with all my friends who are going through difficult times right now, particularly binaryalchemist and evil_little_dog. I've been reading, mostly at night after I go to bed and on my phone.  It's hard to type on the thing so I haven't been commenting, but my heart is with you.  Also cornerofmadness and her mom.  Hang in there everyone, things will look up soon!!!

Yay for getting that full time job! :D

I know I already checked that first chapter, but if you want to let me look over the part you're concerned about again, I don't mind doing that.

[sonjajade.livejournal.com]

I might have you look at that part, it's really driving me crazy :(

I keep telling myself that it's been two years since the first part and that Lan Fan is now living at the palace and living a completely different life than she was when we last saw her and that it's buy-able that she might be that lax around Ling now. But something about it just doesn't feel right, almost like she didn't retain any of her original characterization and I don't like that.

[bay115.livejournal.com]

I think I have an idea which part you're talking about. I can see Lan Fan more relaxed with Ling, especially it's been two years since the first part. More than enough time. I didn't see any problems when I first read it, but you can email me that scene and I'll see if I can make a couple suggestions. I wouldn't worry too much since you still have room for her characterization later on in the story.
