Heading To The Airport

teddy_radiatorThe Hubs and I are getting ready to head back to ATL to take his kids back. It's been a great couple of weeks together. I feel wretched and out of sorts, because I know we'll have to say goodbye. We have laughed, eaten great food, engaged in great arguments (Daughter will argue with a sign post and has the debate logic of a string bean, and son is always right even when he isn't), and they've been great fun. They've been generous and sweet, buying us goodies and spoiling us (daughter bought me a great little trashy novel, from a publisher that I wish to persue for my original fic). Saying goodbye is going to be hard because we'll cry and will most of the way home, and I'm not looking forward to that.
It also means we have to make our big decisions now regarding the shop. We've put it off until they left, and now we have to make our decisions. Things were going pretty good, but now we have to make the big one - do we stay, or do we go? So many people are rooting for us to stay - I want it, but I'm not sure we can. I'm certainly not in the best frame of mind to make such important decisions today, so we'll put it off until we can get a week of work under our belts.
Writing Chapter 16 of LML. It is by far the hardest chapter I've written yet. I have literally stripped, it, sanded it down, repainted it, stripped it again, resanded and varnished it until it bears no resemblance at all to the original chapter. I am finally happy with it, but I've lost my betas, and my alpha is so snowed under with her other committments, I think I'm going to have to do this one myself. Poor mods at Ash! Last week, I only had one mistake on Chapter 15! Heaven knows what awaits me now!
I wrote a naughty little ficlet for Sempraseverus' birthday, called The Sensual World, and after I gave it to her I asked her to tell me if she thought it was worth posting, and she said she did, so I've posted the first two chapters for it. It is a tale of Dom/sub, with sub!Severus. It is not the typical Dom!Hermione fighting to subjugate the Potions master; it's more of a story of Hermione trying to learn to be a Dom in order to better assist Severus in healing. I don't bog down in the psychological aspects of a D/s lifestyle. I'm afraid I'd put my readers to sleep, but it's full of lemons and is just a piece of fun PWP - definitely NOT to be taken seriously!!
When we return, the Hubs has promised to get us started on the well-anticipated writing nook. I think we will need to occupy ourselves so we just don't sit around moping all evening. The house will be so quiet without them. The cats will miss them. So will I.
