Blast From The Past: MEFA Nomiation

Bitterly cold this morning, had to pry myself out of bed with a crowbar. It's only the second morning that the car has been frosted.

In a blast from the fandom past, a story and an essay of mine have been nominated at the Middle-Earth Fanfiction Awards. "The Unnatural History of Tolkien's Orcs" and the rambling talking-about-orcs story "A Question of Breeding." Which includes Radagast. And a kitten. These are vote-based awards, so, uh, I'm telling you about them.

My Little Old Lady is...not doing so well. Last weekend she got diagnosed with cataracts and macular degeneration. She continues to experience increasing shortness of breath after even the most basic self-care tasks. Regarding her with cold empiricism, she ought to be moved to the "hospital" area of the home, where she can get more physical support. But she hates, hates, hates the idea, and after the time I wandered into that branch of the home, I know where she's coming from.
