I try to swim beneath

[sevendeadlyfun]

Despite rumors to the contrary, I haven't actually abandoned sunny Naples for a coldwater flat in London. I've only thought about it.

Plus I have yet to really determine if the coldwater thing is a metaphor or not. And also, why are bathrooms extra in London hotels? I've been making plans for a mini-holiday in London and all the hotels charge extra for a bathroom. I need an explanations.

Still working on Spanky's remix. It's hard. She's so darn awesome I'm intimidated and it's killing my creativity. So I'm working on a D/s Adelle/Topher pegging/masturbation fic to clear my head. And that is a helluva lotta slashes up in there.

In other news, my Handsome Husband is in Afghanistan with NATO for the next six months. He told me he got to say hi to General Petraeus in the hall the other day. I'm suddenly not at all worried about his safety, yanno?

The Monster is OMG sick. He's had an ear infection for the past month, he's on two types of antibiotics plus codeine for the pain. Yeah. We'll be addressing that next week. There may be sarcasm and threats involved.

Oh, and I got into grad school! I'm going for my MSW (Master's of Social Work) at the University of New England. Totally online, even. I luff the internet.

I was a bit nervous about the whole grad school thing. I had to write a personal statement and I was really concerned. I mean - if I didn't get in, it would basically be because they rejected my entire life. My whole life wouldn't have made the cut. How...mortifying. But apparently my life made the grade and I start back to school August 30.

*glomps* I've missed you!!

As for the bathroom thing, it's because many of the hotels have bathrooms down the hall rather than en suite, because a huge number of them are converted private homes. When are you going to London? I've always had great luck finding places to stay that are nice and don't charge through the nose.

Hey honey! Saw the pic of your hubs. Ve-ry nice. :P

The bathroom thing is weird. Not gonna lie. It's weird. Bathrooms are not for stranger sharing - and before you ask, yes I have public bathroom issues like whoa.

We're looking to go at the end of October - around the 22nd. Just a quick weekend thingie for me and the boy. He wants to go to the British Museum to see the Rosetta Stone (he's a big Rick Riordan fan - bless the man for his historical/mythological bent). We'll fly into Gatwick and then gods help us!

How's things?

Things is...things. Hubby's getting more hours now, which is good - and i think the kitten will go a long way towards making him feel better. We've both been in a real funk since our last cat died, as you can imagine.

I just emailed you a couple of hotel searches for London. Yes, I know you're perfectly capable of doing it yourself, but researching travel stuff is one of my favorite things to do. So there. :P

I'm all about having someone else research my travel options for me, because I am lazy to the power of lazy.

Plus, I keep finding terribly expensive hotel options and being horrified that it will cost me more per night to sleep in relative comfort than it will to fly over there (from Italy, obvs. I shudder at the cost of the flight from the states!).
