Back doing the work thing

[thrihyrne]

So I had an enlightening visit with persephone100. As before, we had a lot of conversation, delicious food, and this time we read aloud from stories we're working on. And I colored my hair! Should have taken pictures. It's very vivid, a Tori Amos color red. *g* It's a true friend who lets you do that in her/his house, plus we're able to talk about all sorts of things, leading me to some self-awareness I'd not had before. The weekend was slightly marred due to some miscommunication between my parents and myself, but we're talking through things.

Now I'm back in the 'burg, focusing more on the database consulting project toward the end of the week, I do believe. The end of the 1994 conference video editing is in sight, and while I'll be much faster working on the one from 2004, I need to spend some serious time creating this database, it being a paying gig and all that. And I'm going to England in three weeks, still have half of the plane ticket to pay for, and don't want to be obsessing about money. So... lots of me working in Access over the next few weeks!! Speaking of that trip, I'll be able to visit Callum again and then will be going to Cardiff. I've had only the privilege of day trips to Wales, so this time I'm going to spend 4 nights there. Doing what I don't know, though I suspect I can get some tours to castles and the like. I don't suppose anyone on my flist is in Wales, are you??

For those who've been reading along on my original fic, sorry for the lag but I've been focused on the Hector/Lord John story and Wraeththu one. But there'll be another post soon.

Glad to hear that the trip was enjoyable and enlightening. Your post from yesterday, the one I think you may have deleted, concerned me a bit. I'm glad to hear things are okay.

If you want to chat I should be home around 8pm my time to night. If not, we'll talk another time.

(((((squishes and hugs)))))

Things are okay; I was just on the emotional side. I really can't chat again until the weekend as I've used up close to all except for an hour between now and the 13th. But I'd love to chat next weekend! ♥

[emansil-08.livejournal.com]

You know, I could call you! That's not beyond the realm of impossible. *g*

Unless of course your phone is one of those that you get charged even when someone calls you. I've heard of those.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

No, it doesn't matter whether I call or you do, I still get charged for the minutes, hence why I have to wait. :( But still, it's already Wednesday tomorrow!

[emansil-08.livejournal.com]

It's Wednesday now!

When do you come home from England?

Hugs!

Glad to hear you had an enjoyable visit with persephone. Apparently I missed your post the other day (I haven't checked LJ in a couple days). I hope all is okay. I had forgotten you were visiting England in three weeks. *is so envious* Is there a particular reason for the visit? Hugs!

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I'm doing quite well; just working through some things that's all part of me learning a lot more acceptance. I'm going to England to join my choir for a choir tour, then visiting for a further week. I couldn't have hoped to have gone but a generous person in the choir paid for the tour part for me because they really want my voice! (((hugs)))

[elfscribe5.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, now I remember you told me you were going with the choir. *brain very fuzzy sometimes* I hope you have a great time.

Ooh, England! I associate Cardiff with Doctor Who and Torchwood so strongly that was I about to tell you to keep an eye out for the Doctor and Jack Harkness. :D

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I associate Cardiff with Torchwood as well, and Callum's said that there's not all that much to do, but I figured I'd wait until I arrive, I have my place to stay, and get recommendations. :) I'd fall over if I saw Jack Harkness. ::lusts::

Happy to hear you had a nice weekend. Of course, I am looking forward to you picking up again on the original fic--I'm hooked on it.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

It was! I'm about to post another entry on the original fic; I'm thrilled beyond measure that you're hooked! After a break to work on the other stories, I'm enjoying getting re-invigorated as well.

I saw the post which disappeared thought the worst. Glad to see this one... *HUGS*

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hate it when you think the worst! I'm still in a very safe environment and was never in danger, I promise. Just some emotional things, which is part of the journey. Sorry that we didn't get to talk, however. This weekend? My folks are headed to NJ so I'll just have the dog and cat and can lounge on the phone all weekend if I wish. :D

[persephone100.livejournal.com]

I, too had an enlightening visit! And having you do your new red hair here was fun!:D And it turned out lovely!! Afterward I thought, too that we should have taken pics.

You still can. I'm sure everyone would like to see.

Glad to see good things on the work front for you and you have your trip to England to look forward to!

Hope we can get together again soon!


***hugs***

Yes, it's deliciously vibrant, to be sure. It makes me smile (usually to myself) when I look at it. I feel like a rebel, even though it's hardly a rebellious act!!

I'd love to see you soon! Maybe some time in July after England and your daughter's big day. :D Oh, and I mailed off a letter and the phone earpiece. (((hugs)))

OMG yay choir trip!
*HUGS*
Miss you! I should try to come 'round more...
xoxo

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Indeed, yay! Should be a fabulous time! And don't worry about catching up, goodness. You've been away and your own life and activities. You're welcome here any time, of course. ♥
