Why I should never take my mother's phone calls.

The first thing she said was, "You can go pick up your car, you know." It's still at the mechanic's, and she talked to him and he said it's okay to drive just as long as I don't use the heater. Which I already knew.

I just ... I don't even want to LOOK at the fucking thing, you know what I mean? I'm pissed as hell right now that I own the motherfucker and that I can't rectify that situation like a normal person, get a loan, and get a new goddamn car. Instead I have to keep the POS, and it's costing me another boatload I sure as hell can't afford, and I just want to not even SEE it when I look out my back window at the driveway.

I grumbled something about not wanting to go over and get it, so my mother moved on and told me my great-uncle has prostate cancer.

They don't know more as of yet because it's early, but they're not exactly making it sound good. This is the same great-uncle who had a quadruple bypass a couple of years ago. And for added "fun," his daughter's husband just found out his mother has pancreatic cancer and probably only has six months to a year to live.

At which point my mom made some comment about how, "See? Things could always be worse," at which point I pointed out that I haven't gone to a doctor for a long time save to try and get antidepressants, and that while I've felt really weird and awful at different points in the past year I haven't gone to the doctor because either I didn't have insurance or I had it and knew I was close to losing it and didn't want to risk the "pre-existing condition" bullshit if it were something serious. So I don't actually know if I'm completely healthy thanks to this country's delightful cost-cutting measure of financially scaring you out of going anywhere near a doctor's office.

But ... yeah. I don't even really want to think about it, because my great-uncle is pretty much like an honorary grandpa. *sigh*

Status of the writer --

-- I posted fic! That's the first time I've done that since, uh, Yuletide? Sheesh. Anyway, soundingsea requested female-character SPN fic, so I wrote Mary, Jo, Ellen and Jess in a car together and Becky fic.. So, YAY, that's one ficathon off my to-do list.

-- Today is for finishing my spn_j2_bigbang edit. I thought I'd get it done a few days ago, but the whole car thing threw me off.

-- I have finale fic ideas on the brain. Crack fic! Angsty fic! More angsty fic! Still MORE angsty fic! And then maybe some angsty crack fic! Of course, I have to write them all first, but I got inspired. That's got to count for something, right?

-- As soon as I finish the Big Bang edit and get it off to beta and artist, it's onto Heroine Addiction. I've got two weeks to get the edit finished and shoot it off to the agent-shaped person. And this time I will it done. What helps is that I have training at work for the next two weeks, and I get to edit during my downtime, and because training starts earlier than my usual shift I'll get home at 5:30 every night, AND I have Memorial Day off and next weekend to myself and soon enough I'll be down to just two days a week I'll have new episodes of my regular summer viewing to watch. (SYTYCD, Top Chef, and Leverage, woohoo!)

Well, that's one more thing mostly off my plate.

I got my Big Bang edit done! And now to go check that post from the other day for betas.

Also, HA! I don't think I've ever been mentioned at all on the anon meme before. That's hilarious, yo. Particularly the badfic thing. I'm not about to argue that. And hell, *I* would have voted against me. It's a fight, and I'm in it. Of course I'm going to lose. Never vote for me. I lose everything. I could lose a coin toss using a two-headed quarter.
