Another minor life update
Jun. 20th, 2008 10:57 amThe good news is that after of a month of waiting for the provider company to get off their arses and connect us up, we have Internet connection from our new place at last! Our new wireless network is turning into a bit more of a headache - any more trouble and I will be just about ready to buy a 20m cable and run it down the hallway instead. Still, yay Internets! Between moving to a completely new place and how long it's been now, it's actually going to take some getting used to the idea of having regular access again.
The less good news is that I've been sick since Sunday with this truly rotten cold which leapt on me out of nowhere and laid me out flat for most of this week. I'm through the worst of it now, though if past experience is anything to go by this cough will be staying with me for a good while yet. >< In a fantastic stroke of irony, we got hold of our new modem on Wednesday night - *after* I'd spent three very bored days sick at home with nothing to do and not even limited from-work Internet access, and right *before* I decided I was feeling well enough to go back to work again. I bet someone up there finds that awfully funny.
Anyway, because something about having a head that feels like it's stuffed with glue makes me feel incredibly uncreative, the next chapter of Ghost Stories will be late. (And I was doing so well with it on Saturday too! *sobs*) Not sure how late yet, I've got a good start on it, but climatic chapters are never the easy onesplus a certain new character keeps creeping even her writer out. It's a hell of a time to lose momentum when I am literally about two or three chapters from the end.
Right, on to answering all that backlog of comments from the last week or so. ^^;

*pats Rallamajoop on the forehead* Take your time and get lots of rest, dear. We don't want you getting sick again, after all.

I hope the cold clears up soon (well more than it has already).
Don't bother with the Universe, it's after us all, I'm almost sure of it *crazy person* XP
