Green Room - Week 10 - Weekend Edition

[clauderainsrm]

 The deadline for this week is tomorrow: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1163131.html    so make sure to get your entries in.  It's a NOON deadline and there are a LOT of people who haven't shown up yet.  There are no more byes, so people are definitely playing close to the edge on this one. (especially since people tend to miss on 'unusual times/dates" for deadlines)

The Write Off poll results are in.  https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1163951.html

How are you doing this weekend?

Picture me relaxing on a beach with a cocktail and cool sunglasses not stressing about an LJ Idol deadline 😎

...nevermind that I'm actually cooped up in the house scrambling to finalize the October issue of this magazine (which mostly involved combing the depths of the bee related internet for potential articles, then acquiring permissions and editing for layout, and ideeeaallly if I get ahead enough on this than I can actually turn to trying to write something original myself)

It's been a good weekend. Got quite a few chores taken care of today, read the other entries posted so far, and best of all, my own entry submitted.

How am I doing this weekend ya ask Gary?

Well, picked up New York Comic Con tickets for two days still available (Thursday and Sunday) as I can't realistically go away where I'm not here for my mom at night or a moments notice in an emergency. Not yet anyways.

Tomorrow my new local Dispensary has a huge grand opening, so that's exciting.
Looking forward to reading entries as well and hoping for some fun comments on mine.

I’m glad I don’t have an Idol deadline this week tbh, it was a very exhausting week and now I’m pretty sick. My mom is also in the hospital with sepsis and pneumonia, and I hate that I’m stuck on the other side of the world. So yeah, not the best weekend. I’m canceling my plans tomorrow and hoping if I rest the next few days, I’ll be fine to work on Wednesday - likely to get sick all over again because that’s what happens when I work with these kids. I love them though, I just hate being sick all the time.

Awww. That sounds miserable. :(

What I find helps me is the combination of echinacea and goldenseal. I start taking a pill every 3-4 hours as soon as I feel that scratchy throat or back-of-the-nose sensation that precedes getting a cold or flu.

The cchinacea alone can only sometimes shorten the duration of the illness (which is no good, as you may be done sooner but then you're susceptible to the next new virus opportunity!). But combined with goldenseal, it helps the immune system.

Hope you and your mom are doing better soon.

So many boxes. So much moving. Funerals. That's been my whole weekend. I'm lucky I got mine in before the deadline; thought I'd have to drop this week.

Hugs!

I'm in shock. Right up till the very last minute, I expected aggienaut to win. I kept waiting for the vote shoe to drop. I think I am still waiting. Because I was so certain I'd lose I didn't write anything for Week 10 until I had to. And now my brain is frozen.

I had so much fun reading about synesthesia. What a fascinating subject. I don't have anything like that. Not even close. Just an ordinary, unremarkable person. So, it was fun to write too.

Oh, yeah! There's another day this weekend. LOL! I'd forgotten all about Sunday, today. I have flowers to order for a dear friend who lost her sister and a cousin who lost her brother, I have a DVD to pick up at UPS. But, I think, if I can I'll just sleep. And sleep. And sleep. And maybe sleep some more. ;-)

I signed up to participate in a Rhyming Story challenge, due this upcoming Saturday the 28th. Maximum of 750 words. There are about 1800 people competing, divided into 60 groups of 30 writers. My group’s assignment is Romance (genre); the theme is “elephant in the room,” and our emotion is “rattled.” So… yeah. Still pondering that!

[flipflop_diva]

Good luck!! Your prompts sound like they could be fun! I've actually participated in some of the other challenges they have (thanks to you!), but the rhyming story is one I am yet to take on. I am definitely not confident in my abilities to do that any justice.

[roina_arwen]

Thank you! I did this challenge a year or two ago, and made it to round two (the top 8 in each group move forward), so I’m hoping to at least make it that far. Still pondering the story idea, because I think that has to come before the rhyming attempt. :)

[flipflop_diva]

Just submitted my entry. It was a struggle. I started feeling really crappy yesterday afternoon and it seemed to come with a nice side effect of brain fog. So that made writing slightly challenging lol but at least I got it in.

Luckily there are no plans for today except for some laundry, so hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow. With the kids and work and general chaos that is life these days, there's not really time for a down day. Heh.

[roina_arwen]

Ugh, brain fog. I get that too sometimes when my diabetes control goes awry. I’m also doing laundry, so here’s to an afternoon of good clean fun!
