Life Viewed Through an Amber Focus

So I finished the little one shot I was working on today.  I haven't decided entirely whether or not I should tweak it a bit more or leave it alone or throw it away.  Probably not best to make that decision on painkillers.  I'll sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow.  Got a bit more done on both LoF and Three Hour Tour.  My brain still isn't quite as together as I'd like it to be, but it's still more together than it was, so that's something.

So this next bit is super, super spoilery for the future of the Leap of Faith 'verse.  I mean, if you've read Third Time's the Charm, you basically know how Leap of Faith is going to end, more or less, but this goes a bit beyond that.  So if you don't want to know what might happen in the future then don't click on the cut, okay?  Also, I abuse the run-on sentence.

( Future LoF 'verse SPOILERS )
Speaking of swimming, I did 30 laps tonight in 40 minutes.  I attempted to kick a couple of times just to see if I could, but my left leg was not having it, so I knocked that right off.  My brain wanted to do 40 laps, but I decided to come down on the side of my shoulders instead.  With it all being focused on my arms I just need to be careful.  I don't want to mess my body up to the point that I can't exercise at all.  It did feel good to be in the water and have my bad knee completely supported and almost weightless.  Hopefully my arms will get used to doing all the work soon and I can work on upping the laps again without exhausting the mucsles.

A/N:  This story is dedicated to mkejenkins for doing her part in keeping the Ninth Doctor alive for all of us through all her hard work with storm_and_wolf, and because she is a general all around fantastic person who is incredibly supportive of my own attempts to keep Nine alive.  Elisa, this one's for you.
