1) Work pretty much sucks right now. Must answer email that looms like a looming thing in my inbox. Also, I feel like a failure--sometimes I wonder if academic life is worth it.

2) Had planned to go cross-country skiing in the mountains for a week with my sister, starting tomorrow, but now she's come down with a cold. /o\ She'll come up here anyway, and maybe we can go up to the mountains later in the week if she feels better, but we won't be able to do the route we'd planned, because it needs a certain number of days.

3) I have a first draft of my Remix fic, but I feel a bit meh about it. Can't figure out if I need to do something else with the fic, or if I'm just being influenced by my current sense of failure.

Bummer, I hope your sister feels better soon! *sends her chicken soup*

Maybe after your sister's visit you can go back to the troublesome remix fic? Taking a break helps my brain sometimes when I'm frustrated. :)

Yeah, I hope she gets better (and doesn't infect me). And I have to post the remix fic this weekend--but it doesn't go live until the first of May, so I do have some time to tinker with it. I've just recruited a second beta, though, which will hopefully be helpful.

Wish I could have helped more with #3.

You did help with the story! Especially with the suggestions you had the first time around. And I'm relieved I managed a story at all, since it's the first time I do Remix. I mean, you can't expect every story to be one of those effortless ones that almost write themselves.

:-( Maybe the meh and the sense of failure are influenced by something else? Hope you (and your sister) feel better soon.

Thanks! *hugs back*

And I do feel better today--it was just several things coming together, I think.
