Well, Rats

[przed]

It's shaping up to be not such a great week.

My sweetie just hit day 6 of having a fever of between 102 and 103.

We woke up to a leak in our living room, just below where our second floor shower is.

I have completely over-committed myself fannishly (7 challenge stories, 2 zines stories, both of which are due Friday, and we won't even talk about the vids I'd like to be/am working on). Right now, I'm trying to decide on a course of action: panic and do as much as I can in a flurry or roll over and give up? I suspect my actual response is going to be somewhere between the two, but things aren't looking good for the Boromir gen zine story due this week. (Gen? What's that?)

On the other hand:

I'd already arranged to work on some video stuff at home today, so I was able to drive my sweetie to his doctor first thing.

I'd never gotten around to cancelling the home repair warranty that came with our new mortgage, so we may get off with a $50 deductible for the plumbing repair, though don't even talk to me about repairing the drywall afterward.

On the writing front...well, crap, there is no good news there. Sigh.

Yikes! That's not good. I hope the doctor can figure out what's going on.

Are you crazy?! :-) I thought I was bad with four stories due and that's not even until late May. You seem to be holding up a lot better than I would. At this point, I think I'd be doing some serious 'running around like a chicken without a head'.

I'm not sure. ;-)

The sweetie's fever is still up and down (102 at 5 this morning, yikes!) but I'm hoping the antibiotics start knocking it out of him pronto.

As for whether I'm crazy, why yes I am. At least the creative portion of my brain decided to turn itself back on last night and cough up 1200 words of, wait for it, a gen Boromir story. Jeez.
