Sorry for the double post, but I'm so happy I have to twit this here ;)
After cake-hunting I opened my novel manuscript, started writing, and now IT'S DONE :) Of course I have to go over it again before sending it to my publisher, and I'll probably make quite a bit of re-writing.
But finishing the first draft is one of the major waypoints of the writing process, so to answer the what are you doing? - I'm feeling great! :D
Maybe this calls for some bubbly later :angel:

I'm sitting here covered in anti-itch goop which isn't working. I just got back from the clinic, where I got a steroid shot for what is quite possibly the worst case of poison ivy EVER. On top of my existing misery, I had a bad reaction to the shot; got all dizzy and nauseated and had to hang around there for an extra hour so they could observe me and make sure I didn't expire which quite frankly I'm willing to do because DEAR GOD I AM SO ITCHY AND MISERABLE. :mad:

Oooooh. I've been there before. 96% of my skin surface covered, left eye swelled shut, stuff actually in my throat. It ain't fun in the least, and I have the deepest sympathy for anyone having to suffer through it.
But you do have a plus side. That horrible steroid shot you had to suffer through kills the stuff pretty damn quick. I was itch free the next day, and the sores and bumps were almost healed by the end of the week. Your days itchiness and suffering are just about over.

I just watched the first half of the Directors Cut of Kingdom Of Heaven.
Armed with a bottle of chilled white wine and a pack of Jammy Dodgers - this is how real men spend their Saturday nights.
For the record - Kingdom of Heaven is a beautiful and very worthwhile movie.

Eagerly anticipating watching Dirty Harry for the first time in my life tonight.

Just watched the first episode of True Blood. Erm.

You were right, Ren; I'm better already. Either the shot or the prescription for prednisone did the trick. The itch no longer feels like it's down to the very bone, I actually got some sleep last night, and I'm no longer carrying my hairbrush wherever I go. :D
GOD THAT WAS AWFUL
WHAT A HORRIBLE PLANT
THERE'S JUST NO EXCUSE
*thanks Vassy* :)

Just got out of the pool. It is absurdly hot here.
