Fractured Thoughts

Back at work.... I want another holiday :0). The mornings may just kill me but part of me is glad to get back to a routine. I put on 5lbs over Christmas (which could have been a lot worse) and I have to wait for work to renew my gym membership before I can get back to it (grr I'm trying to make sure I keep active anyway whilst I wait). Hope it'll drop off quite quickly this month with going back to stricter eating and regular exercise.

I spent my break well though, I'm behind on Bleach again so have started to catch up and I have finally got round to watching Leverage ... I'm now half way through the first series - brilliant am loving it so far.

I also got curious after someone mentioned the Strachey Mysteries, so have made my way quickly through all the films (twice), the first two books and pretty much all the fanfic I could find. I think I love movieverse Donald & Timmy. I think they are the most clearly in love couple I have ever seen, I've been trying to think of any couple I know in real life who are that happy to see each other and am coming up blank (though some of my friends came close on their wedding days), actually that's a rather depressing thought.

Writing wise I'm still whittling away at the unfinished pile in my hard drive... mainly working on a mag7 (ATF) fic at the moment. Though I have highlander, gundam wing and doctor who fics simmering too.  Though there may be a series of multi fandom ficlets coming out first if the persistent plot bunnies of the week have their way. Hmm... that reminds me, must post my hlh fic and the politics and reality update to the various archives I have dotted around and add them to my index.

Have actually started to write something for my hlh_shortcuts fic... it's a miracle. I have a whole 120 words done (all at work... :0)). Of course I only really have the one scene firm in my mind, hopefully the rest of the story will come to me later. Though another plot bunny that would work sprung up whilst waiting for the bus this morning. Maybe I'll start writing both and see which one flows better as I go.

I've sort of forgotten about the Mag7 mininano for the last few days, oops, am going back to it now. Why is it the only time I want to write is when I'm at work, and am thus... supposed to be working.... on things that aren't fanfiction. After all if I do it at work, I would probably have to say I get paid for doing it, plus you know eventually my bosses will complain that none of my work gets done.

In other news, now that I have been in my job 6 months (how did that happen it was supposed to be a short thing until I got a proper job) I get free gym membership. This means free gym, free swimming, free classes and free activities at any city council leisure centre. Brilliant :0)!!! So now I am back to regular exercise for the first time in months. Went to a gym induction on Sunday, swimming on Monday and today I'm going back to the gym. My shoulders and calves hate me but otherwise I feel fantastic. Hopefully that will get the scales moving downwards again too, would be nice to get down to the 140's for Christmas, it's great though when I think this time last year I was 195 lbs.

Wow January's nearly up... (nearly at Imbolc). Don't know what I've done with the last month... besides a lot of cooking and exercise. That reminds me I've lost 20bs since the start of November :0) (that last pound took 2 weeks to shift) only another 40 to go for a 'healthy' weight.

Been watching the Australian Open this week.... think I may have mentioned that, once or twice, in various places, on an almost daily basis. Men's final tomorrow morning (at least in my timezone) kind of excited Murray Vs Federer. Being British I have to support Murray of course, which is funny because in all his other match ups I root for Federer (he plays such pretty tennis and he seems like a nice guy so I always want to play in the next round). Should be a good match though whoever wins if they both play at their best.

Er... Um this post doesn't seem to really have a point. Oh well, consider this I am still alive and talking rubbish post. Should have some fic ready in the next couple of days I am about 90% on several different bits but keep dithering.

( Wow this got long. )

Tldr: I actually did exercise today and I didn't die
