Well my classes are all online now. I've started camp nano working on These Haunted Hills. Now I'm faced with cleaning this apartment (especially after a mouse paid me a visit in the wee hours this morning) and to start on my research paper even though no one knows when I'll be presenting it (this fall, this time next year). Ah well, at least I'll ( Read more... )

I have to say I've been too busy moving all my classes online to be either anxious or depressed but I'm nearly done with that. It'll be interesting to see how I fare after that. I've never done well with inactivity but I'm good with not leaving the apartment.

I'm picking up where I left off in These Haunted Hills after Josh asked Brendan to go ( Read more... )

I will throttle the first person who tells me teaching online is easier. OMG I've spent 15 hours moving things online for my classes and I've barely scratched the surface. I have to waive my labs because too many of my students have no internet (we're rural Appalachia here so...) I'm looking forward to breaking free of this computer ( Read more... )

I know I owe everyone comments. This week was a blur of working on research during spring break and working with the university to come up with what we're going to do during the pandemic. I'll get back to them.

I'm continuing with These Haunted Hills Josh has been outside in the woods and has just returned to the cabin.

He pulled out the ear buds ( Read more... )

It's Spring Break so I'm going home to see the family. Posting and driving back to Pittsburgh. Mom already has my every day planned. I'm like Mom I do have work to do but the casino DOES sound like more fun.

Still with These Haunted Hills. Josh has arrived at Brendan's cabin and has gone off into the woods to figure out what is wrong with his ( Read more... )

I'm still drowning in work. I am officially working entirely on overtime this semester (at this university we're contracted to work 24 credit hours in a year (two semesters) and I did 25 last semester alone so the 15 this semester is all over time so I've worked nearly 2 years worth in 1. Yikes

Continuing with These Haunted Hills. Brendan is ( Read more... )

Posting this on the fly as I'm planning a trip to Columbus for today to do fun things but since that's a haul I need to get moving.

Continuing with These Haunted Hills. Last week ended with Brendan getting an unexpected call from Josh.

“I think one of my cameras got knocked loose by something out at the cabin. I was going to head over your way to ( Read more... )

I've now worked 7 days a week for 5 weeks. Technically I have more work to be doing but I'm escaping today. So I'm posting this and running.

Continuing with These Haunted Hills picking up from last week.

Brendan sighed and took a drink. He forced thoughts of Josh out of his mind and turned back to his novel’s beginning. It wasn’t going to write ( Read more... )

I've been buried in work and owe everyone comments. Sorry.

Here's more of These Haunted Hills I've skipped ahead to the next day after the ghost hunt.

Brendan knew Josh most likely wouldn’t make the first move. Their relationship was too uneven. Josh knew Brendan was still suffering and wouldn’t want to force him into a position he wasn’t ( Read more... )

Still running around like a headless chicken but now with blood clots in my arm (they're resolving and are superficial so they wouldn't be a huge problem anyhow but they hurt) from where I fell on it.

Not finding much time to write. Sigh.

Here's more of These Haunted Hills Brendan is learning about his aura. It's a bit more than 6 sentences but I ( Read more... )
