Story Update and My Life
This is my favorite new icon, just so you know. It's by shengirl.
Well, JeopardyFriendly did beta Hunger Moon for me, but she found a plot hole you could drive a truck through, so I'm in the midst of a vast rewrite. Argh is not too strong a word. And I don't think the smut is going to make it into this next chapter. But Rose is still, I think, going to get tied up before this one is over. Plus, I've been accused of rushing to the smut again. *sighs* I know she knows what she's talking about, but...*growls anyway*

We did a lot today. Started with Tobias swim lesson, then went to the eye doctor so DH could have an exam, then he picked out glasses, then we went to the park and had a picnic lunch and then went for a hike through the park taking the low road trail. Which is not a road at all, it's very much a trail, but we call it the low road because it branches and you can go up a hill to the high road trail or not. They eventually meet back up again. It's a nice walk, a little over a mile.
Afterwards we went to see FIL and he is looking so much better. The swelling and water retention had really gone down now and his color is back to normal. He looks weak and...smaller somehow than before. But he's talking like normal, not like it tires him out to do so. After that we went to pick up DH's glasses and then we went to Costco and bought a few things, loaded them into the cooler and then went back to the park and had a picnic dinner and took another hike, this time on the high road trail which is a tenth of a mile longer than the low road trail. Then the kids gathered pine cones and played pooh sticks off the bridge over the creek while DH and I sat on a nearby bench talking.
It was a long day and I'm tired. And out of shape. We're trying to all get into shape since we've decided we will indeed be going to Disneyland in October. We booked our hotel last night. So we're going to be building up our walking muscles between now and then. I'm up to a mile at a time right now, so doing a little over two was hard. I used to be able to go three in an hour no problem. We're trying to walk every night, weather permitting, at least on days we don't go to the park. And we've got a treadmill for bad weather days. Last time I went to Disney I ached after one day of walking and I do not want to go through that again.
