Baste me in Tiger Balm and tuck me in

[feldman]

The benefit of the Great Recession Downsizing a few years back is that spouse and I are aces at packing, moving, throwing shit out and relocating.  So far, the new household of four adults, a teen and three cats is integrating rather well, all things considered.  The rents are still wrestling with forty-plus years of *stuff*, but spouse and I are mostly unpacked by this point.

And we're making some progress on the front of "this new place cannot digest your whole house, only the things you actually need and use."  It's a process.

So fucking sore and tired, though.  After weeks, I'm finally getting some writing in this afternoon.  Okay, so I;m mainly staring at Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, but there's also some writing happening in between cups of tea and whimpering.

In other news, the kiddo has begun writing fanfic on Wattpad.  Because apparently that kind of thing breeds true.

Yay for kiddo following family fannish tradition!

I just found an old university literary magazine with a short story by my Mom. She used to write poems, too, for special occasions at work, and I have one that she wrote for my birthday one year, too.

Oh, that's very cool.

Awww, a fanlet. So much fun when the kiddos do fannish things.

She's apparently been reading and lurking, and writing in notebooks because she knows the value of staying anonymous on the internet--so the other day I helped her set up a random pseudonymous email, and now she's posting her own stuff and getting votes. It's adorable.

My daughter (age 14 now) is in an RP community for the "Wings of Fire" series (dragon adventure stories). But I am not supposed to know that, because I am supposed to stay out of all her business. ALL OF IT, MOM.

Yeah, she's ten and decided to do the full cannonball into puberty and I'm...handling it as well as I can.

Hope the Tiger Balm helps, and you get tucked in, though! Much love to you & yours. <3
