Well at least it isn't strep

[hildy89]

The test results came back negative on strep. It's some lovely virus, probably a stomach one. Oh joy oh rupture. I am feeling better however, which is a Good Thing. The less said about what this has done to my work schedule the better. I leave tomorrow for the writing retreat for a long weekend in the Shenandoah. I will be far from roughing it. I'm hoping Netflix comes through with an old Who dvd so I can research the whofest story I should be finishing. This particular story prompt will be well timed with the start of the new season in the U.S. Not the way I planned that though.

Yet again I missed important posts. I'm sorry! :( You said "as you read in my LJ", but I didn't. I guess I need to start reading my flist by filter first, and then the communities second. I hope the writing retreat went productively, and I'm glad you're feeling better. My stomach is acting up again really badly, so if it happens to you again, I've got a few more suggestions for you. I'd forgotten, for instance, that chamomile is a digestive antispasmodic.

So do you have any Dr. Who on tape or DVD? Someday I'd like to try watching it. See what happens when you ask people to beta cross-fandom? :)

Oops, sorry to make that assumption. I am feeling better. The stomach calmed down anyway. They gave me some names of GI doctors in case this continues to be a problem. I'm really hoping it doesn't come down to that. Also hoping you're feeling better yourself.

The writing retreat went differently than I expected. Being frustrated by original fic, I took down some of my fannish ideas, only to get pinged by two older stories I want to finish. So it was successful, just not in the way I anticipated.

As for Doctor Who, the only thing I have, besides the DVD Netflix sent me, are the season one dvds for Chris Eccleston's Doctor. (Technically he's the ninth doctor and it's more like season 27 including all the other previous incarnations, but BBC calls it season one.) This was the season that just completed on Scifi channel. They just started the second season with David Tennant. My dvr screwed it up while I was gone, of course. From what I've seen, it's a good starter season for new people. And MPT shows some of the other Doctors at 1am or something on Saturday.
