@ my journal

I am sitting here in my home office, drinking coffee and eating PopTarts while the kitties enjoy the last few minutes of open windows before I shut them all and turn the AC back on. Why am I home? Today is Doomsday for Mrs. CB. In three hours, we will be checking her in at Outpatient Services for a butt-tubing. That's right people, she's having a colonoscopy and it can't be over soon enough -for either of us. And the patient prep for this procedure? Yeah, I'm not even gonna go there.

I will be playing the role of dutiful spouse (at least while she is conscious)and taking care of things at Casa Cabenson today. Therefore, I ask you to keep BOTH of us in your thoughts today as usually, I am the one being taken care of.

Had a disturbing dream this morning after Feline Alarm Cat finally realized that I was NOT getting up. I dreamed that we were taking my oldest niece to college, and when we got there we realized that she had nothing. Her parents had given her nothing-no food, no money for books, no computer, NOTHING. So me, Mrs CB, MamaCB and Niece were scrambling all over this huge, unfamiliar city trying to get her what she needed to get started. What does all this mean? Probably that she will be living with us her freshman year at The Ohio State University, providing she still wants to go there. We have two years....we have two years.

What else is happening? I am having more good days than bad days with the asthma, but they all seem to get worse as the day progresses. The lack of breathing makes exercising difficult, so I an going to try the yoga thing again and see if I can at least keep my spine stretched out.

Mrs CB returns to school next Monday and is wildly excited about being at a new school. I am wildly excited about her having other adults to talk to, because after 8 hours on the phone, I am not so into talking. Don't get me wrong, I love where I work, but anymore, I just hate telephones. I cringe when they ring at home, and that makes me think I shouldn't be in customer service.

In the fandom world, I may have one last fic to roll out before the new season starts. I am going to work on it some today while the wife is getting hosed. I have 2 vids in my mental queue, but they have taken a backseat as I have to actually sit at my PC to do them- stoopid back. I also need to get my fics moved over to my fic journal/comm so I can keep this place for my more mundane musings...and Fair Pics.

I need to come up with my annual "New Shows/Returning Shows I can't Wait to See" list- maybe next time.

Anyway, time to close up the windows. I have to admit, that since my snothole surgery 6 mos ago, my allergies have hardly bothered me, even when the atmosphere is "dripping with ragweed pollen" /NBC4 Weatherman. Of course my lungs have given out, but hey, a win's a win!

I downloaded the 720p version of 05x18-19 (still waiting on the other eps to finish) and so I made some icons out of the excellent quality vids. I only got about half way through the show before I got tired of capping so there will be another batch later. Also... I have about 200 caps, but I am quite lazy at making icons as well.

Again, some of these icons have black borders which cannot be seen.

Title:  Love in an Elevator

Fandom:  Criminal Minds

Pairing:  Emily/JJ, of course…who else?

Rating:  R/NC-17

Disclaimer:  No profit being made and unfortunately, I don’t own these fine ladies.  This would definitely happen if I did.

A/N:  This is post LoFi, so there may be a few spoilers.  This is for

sofia_lindsay

because she’s been incredibly patient with my muse that went MIA after IDF.  Sofia needed an Em/JJ smut fix…here you go, buddy!

A/N2:  Not beta’d.  Heck, this was FOR my beta, so I couldn’t very well let her read it. *wink*

Title: "Sometimes (These Things)"
Author: carpesomediem
E-Mail: carpesomediem[at]gmail.com
Fandom: Popular
Characters: Brooke/Sam
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3370
Author's Notes: Ryan Murphy created, I just borrowed pretty much forever. This is a prequel to where Popular starts. I've taken a lot of liberty with the possible pasts of the characters, along with trying to set-up some connections within the realm of canon. This is one of the first times I've jumped into the realm of pre-Popular. Special thanks go to my betas: mysensitiveside, talkos and wolfemeister.
Summary: Jane McPherson decides to take her first vacation since her husband died, and Sam tags along for the ride only to find herself not only out of her element but face-to-face with someone new and unexpected.

Tearing Down To Rebuild
Rethinking Complaining

We all know someone who has elevated the process of complaining to a high art. Sometimes funny, sometimes exhausting, these people have the ability to find a problem just about anywhere. In its more evolved form, complaining is simply the ability to see what’s not working, in one’s own life or in the external world, and it can be quite useful if followed to its natural conclusion—finding a solution and applying it. However, many of us don’t get that far, and we find that complaining has become an end in itself. In small doses, this is not a big problem, but if complaining has become a huge part of our identities, it may be time to take a good look at how we are spending our energy.

Complaining is a person’s way of acknowledging that they are not happy with the way things are. In a metaphorical way, when we complain or criticize, we are tearing down an undesirable structure in order to make room for something new. But if all we do is tear down, never bothering to summon the creative energy required to create something new, we are not fulfilling the process. In fact, we are at risk for becoming a stagnant and destructive force in our own lives and in the lives of the people we love. Another issue with complaining is that we sometimes tend to focus on other people, whom we can’t change, as a way of deflecting attention from the one person we can change—ourselves. So transforming complaining into something useful is a twofold process that begins with turning our critical eye to look at things we can actually do something about, and then taking positive action.

When we find ourselves complaining, the last thing we need to do is get down on ourselves. Instead, we can begin by noticing that we are in the mode of wanting to make some changes. But rather than lashing out at somebody or an organization, we can look for an appropriate place to channel this energy—not our neighbor’s house, but possibly parts of our own. Finally, we can ask ourselves the positive question of what we would like to create in the place of whatever it is we want to tear down. When we do this, we channel a negative habit into a creative process, thus using our energy to change the world around us in a positive way.
