Good morning sunshine

estepheiaGood grief, was I tired last night - or rather this morning. At about 4.30 am I finished Aurora's Light and posted it in my LJ (a very therapeutic move). I barely managed to get the lj-cuts right (which always trip me up). I also should have made more mention of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladycat777's invaluable help in writing that third part of the Pandoraverse series. She is a great S/X beta! She's also my target dummy, meaning I throw a few lines in her direction and see if they hit the right buttons. Thank you dear.
Anyway, after posting I stumpled upstairs, snuggled into my bed and just as I was about to fall asleep daughter number 2 turned up. With her pillow. So I let her come aboard. She didn't sleep though but was restless. Then she started coughing and vomiting. Luckily, I was still awake so I swooped her up and dragged her into the bathroom - with no damage to the bed. Yay.
By the time daughter and I were back in bed it was 5.30 am. The alarm clock goes off at 6.50 - ack. But I have a wonderful hubby, so he let us sleep and shipped off daugher #1 to kindergarten.
However, little Toyah will have to stay at home, just in case. I think it's probably something she ate, cause she's fine now and in a good mood, but we are supposed to wait 24 hours when kids vomit. *Shrug*
Means I won't get a lot written today.
And why am I awake now after only 2 hours of sleep? God knows.
For those who are interested: this is the status of the (far too many) WIPs I have currently on my plate:
Body Language - The whole exposition is done and I fixed everything my betas mentioned. Now all Anya and Spike have to do is screw their little hearts out.
TPTP Chapter 43 - Finished. All it needs is Marcee's ok. Unfortunately Marcee is busy. (It was her birthday this week. She went here for her birthday dinner. She said the show was great. I am so envious because that restaurant really looks fabulous . And you all know I like eating, dontcha.)

<b>Body Language</b> - The whole exposition is done and I fixed everything my betas mentioned. Now all Anya and Spike have to do is screw their little hearts out.
<b>TPTP Chapter 43</b> - Finished. All it needs is Marcee's ok. Unfortunately Marcee is busy. (It was her birthday this week. She went <a href="http://www.maikai.com/">here</a> for her birthday dinner. She said the show was great. I am so envious because that restaurant really looks fabulous . And you all know I like eating, dontcha.)
<bPerdition Catch my Soul</b> - Can you say stuck? In fact, I'm stucker than stuck. <user site="livejournal.com" user="fitofpique"> wrote a lovely S/X story that unfortunately was very close to what I had planned for Perdition, so now I'm regrouping.
<b>Upon a wheel of Fire</b> - my attempt at Faith/Cordy femslash (which somehow turned into a something Cordy/Lilah femslashy) is dead in the water due to the fact that Cordy is evil now. Let me see how <B<AtS</b> continues. Maybe I can still salvage some of this.
<b>Toys and Games</b> - my Anya/Andrew UST/friendship story is stuck as well (yeah, what else is new). I had a brilliant (ok, feasible) idea last night when going to bed and was confident I'd remember it, alas, it's gone, leaving behind the frustrating knowledge that I had the key to continue but lost it through my own damn fault.
'Stuck' - I'm beginning to hate that word.
I also wrote the beginning of an Angelus/Spike/Xander fic, but <user site="livejournal.com" user="ladycat777"> didn't like it and I have more pressing WIPs on my plate, so this one is a sitting duck and might just get the chop.
My sequel to <b>Sixty Minutes</b> which almost every reviewer requested, is elusive. As is my fluffy version of the same challenge. But that doesn't faze me. I'll either write them or I won't.

A question

It's almost finished. LadyCat has the final draft, and I have to write a proper ending, but I'm optimistic. This one flowed today and I will post it soon.
