Saturday off, what a concept

It's Obi's birthday. He's 13.
I now have 2 teenagers in the house. Doooooooooooooom.

Actually, I don't have any in the house. They're all outside playing in the 4-6 inches of snow we got yesterday. 8)

I hurt.
The winds were very very high. As in hard enough to blow a SECURED trailer door shut. With me in it. I have a bruise under my left wing from the door, a nice deep one in my left rib cage (from the door-latchplate) and an ache under my boobs where the trailer got me.

Add in the general stress of the day, and I'm stiff and sore.

At least I don't have to work today. I'll run tomorrow.
Line-haul hasn't left Mississippi yet. (they're having trailer trouble)
My route is 100% ice. And the interstate is closed between Lehi (6 miles out)and Schererville (10 miles out) because of...what else? jack-knifes.

I most egregiously violated the Truckers' Code by leaving the 4 wheelers to fend for themselves yesterday. And I feel guilty for not taking the median and instead risking all three of us as I kept myself on the road. While I justify my behavior by thinking of my kids, they probably had kids too. And getting swept off the road by a semi would have been disasterous for them.
It all turned out well, but it's scary to realize that your ideals don't actually translate to reality, and the reptile brain goes straight for self-preservation in an emergency.

A little kissage for the day

The Plot Bunnies. Let me show you them

So, I finished "A Rose for Nicky" and "Color of Magic/Color of Money" last night. I'm half-way into my story for the Collar anth. I still have my piece for "Bend Over" and the Topaz I'm doing for EC, set in a warped Old West where gunpowder was never invented. It's het, too.

So, as we're talking about the Lord Edward novel, lippity lip, out of the briar patch hops a Robin Hood bunny (thanks to Emily Veinglory). A TRANS Robin Hood bunny.
*headdesk*
Why am I determined to put the B and T into GLBT writing?

So, as it stands:
Bend Over Big Boy (apr 1)
Collar piece (apr 15)
Topaz (may 1)

Lord Withycombe and the Curse of the Pharaoh's Manicurists
Shell Shocked
Peregrine off High Barbary (yes, still)
Robin Hood...*headdesk* We can't even decide if it's to be a short or a novel or an anthology.
