Things I have done recently:
1. Finished and posted my Jadefest fic. It's kind of, um, not really a Jade fic? Even though it is unquestionably a response to the prompt I was working from! I want to see if I can add some kind of opening scene to focus it more on her, because as it stands it's an ensemble fic and that was not the point of the exchange. (I have also posted one of my false starts as a treat, because it may have fallen wildly short of the minimum word count but it's still a complete ficlet and, while a slightly less direct response to the prompt, much more focused on Jade.)
2. Signed up for RemixRedux 11! This year I qualified in Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Inception, Naruto, and Star Trek: AOS. (I also qualify in Angel Sanctuary, Homestuck, and The Dark Is Rising, but those are not qualifying fandoms for matching purposes, so they're just listed as optional side things. Ah well, such is life.)
3. Made pot roast! Variations from my first attempt include fewer carrots (because Susan ate some while she was here and I forgot to buy more), more beef (1.1lb rather than .95lb), plain cream of mushroom soup rather than cream of mushroom with garlic, and half a soup can less of water. So it tastes a little different, doesn't have quite as many veggies, and is less soupy.
Next time, I will go back to the mushroom soup with garlic, and use more carrots (I dislike carrots cooked on their own, but carrots in soup or stew-type things are lovely), while continuing the more-beef-less-water aspects.
4. Taught RE. This week's lesson was on non-violence, and after the story and question/activity thingy, we made -- I swear I am not making this up -- What Would UU Do? bracelets. Which are basically What Would Jesus Do? bracelets by another name. It is so tacky. (Also a terrible pun on our denominational nickname and U as in "you.") But kids like playing with beads, so a fun time was had by all.
5. Agreed to cover Serenity's shift this coming Saturday, like I did this past Saturday, since her father-in-law died this morning and she needs to be in Rochester that weekend for... funeral arrangements and/or packing up his house? I dunno, I'm getting this secondhand via Boss Lady, so it's a bit garbled and incomplete. Either way, I feel terrible for her. :-(
