Busy doctor schedule

[estepheia]

After putting it off for ages (because of financial reasons, time constraints, phobia, and depression-induced indifference) I finally ventured to the dentist this morning. And came back with several appointments. Ack. I need fillings and all kinds of other treatments. I also have 2 appointments with my GB, one with my gynecologiest and one with my opthalmologist. I will try to make appointments with my physiotherapist, so she can massage a few kinks out of my back and legs.

Tidying up seems to be good for us. Right now I have a lot more energy than a few years ago. I hope it lasts. I already started doing some of my Xmas shopping, and I have a few plans what to buy in December, when more money comes in. I also decided to ask the local Walmart for a job. They pay better than my translation work. *sob*

Hubby found a few really dreadful poems which I'd believed lost, which I wrote at the tender age of 18. *shudder* Well, at least one of them is kinda okay.

As for my fanfic writing, I decided that I need to look around for a new beta who is slash-friendly and fast - I can't work without one. Left to my own devices I tinker every story to death. ladycat777 and sangpassionne have other worries and not enough time and since I have bouts of insecurity that make me a high maintanance author, I should try to find someone else who doesn't mind if I suddenly IM her/him with questions. I am not looking for the kind of beta who just finds the spelling mistakes (I finally found the word installation disk so maybe I can dl an English dictionary for my spelling checker now) but a beta who will honestly tell me if something is boring, too flowery or too vague, one who cuts out all the somehows and almosts. One who whittles away what's redundant. :-) Any volunteers?
The projects I need handholding for are Dealing (Ethan/Lindsey), Let's Talk About Sex and a few minor projeccts.

Nope I didn't get anything from you. I was waiting patiently. :-)
I also just checked the spamfilter but it was empty. I have no idea what happened to your mail. Could you try again, please?

[hesadevil.livejournal.com]

Sent it again to your aol address.

[hesadevil.livejournal.com]

Could be my mailbox. I'm not getting any mail notifications of comments on LJ or new postings on the boards. I'll try it again from yahoo.

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

No arrivals yet. :-/

Normally AOL is reliable....

*looks hopeful*

[hesadevil.livejournal.com]

Just sent it from yahoo, so it's not virus-ridden as it passed the automatic full body search for an attachment.

It's here! Yay!

It's here, I'll look at it as soon as the kids (who are completely impossible right now) are settled in front of their dinner/TV. Bah. (The Bah refers to the kids of course, not the betaing. LOL)

Thank you so much!

*wonders how much two naughty kids go for on ebay*

Good job, but you are wrong on two accounts. The singular possessive of Giles is Giles's. And Earl Grey is served with milk at Harrods and it is pretty strong. I never drink it with lemon. Yuk!!!! LOL.

The rest looks very good. I'm already implementing the changes and working on the chess game section. Thank you so much for your help!!!

Harrods - pfft - what would they know? It's not even owned by an Englishman any more. Seriously, though, Earl Grey is never served with milk in the best English family home. It's those damn Johhny foreigners who think that the English staple drink is Earl Grey that have got it all wrong. LOL

Glad you're ok with the rest of the work. Roll on the next chapter.

Well, Ethan drinks his Earl Grey with milk. He's a contrary kinda guy. LOL.

Again, thank you so much.
