Scheherazade in Blue Jeans

* Did not go out at all yesterday; opted instead to give Adam the quiet(ish) board-game night he'd been craving since, um, 2004. It's good to live someplace with potential Adam-gaming-buddies again. Adam's not wholly antisocial, he just needs the right sort of social energy. It was a good night. :) Spence, Amanda left her sunglasses, btw.

* I got more consecutive hours of sleep Friday night than I've had in weeks. My body repaid me for this by giving me very broken sleep last night. *yawn*

* Latest meds-news - the doctor's office faxed my paperwork to the imaging place rather than to my insurance company. Why? I do not know. I'm now on half-rations of the Lyrica in an attempt to stretch out my remaining pills - Adam gets paid Friday, and we really can't afford to pay for an out-of-pocket refill before then. If I call the insurance people and the doctor's office first thing tomorrow and fucking *cry*, they might be able to push the approval through before I run out. Maybe. In the meantime, no driving *at all*.

* I have most of an ayalanya-necklace. *vibrates with glee* It'll be done within a week, probably. Just ordered the centerpiece-stone last night. Yes, there will be pictures.

* Now I must shower and twist my hair up so's to be ready for hot-tubbing. Yay hot-tubbing!

The child has reached menarche.

Reached? Attained? The child has gotten her period. The child is shaky and upset and, in her words, not ready to grow up yet.

I told her she doesn't have to grow up yet. I told her to take her time, move at her own pace. I told her that she will be okay. But she is tearful and miserable.

*sigh*

So. Any ideas for rituals? What do you wish your mother did for you, on this occasion?

EDIT: Oh, dude. I know just what. Her favorite women-and-girls-only thing.

Writing marathon.

manifestress, do you have a description written up of writing marathons?

We're doing Boskone this weekend, so we'll have to do it the weekend after. A week from this upcoming Saturday. *plots and plans*
