Bite Sized Bits of Fic

So the winds are over 60 mph and my parents' shingles are in the yard. Needless to say Dad is pissed. This is a 50 year roof (about 20 years in) but the tar proved to be dried out and this wind took the whole of the roof from what we can tell.

Naturally my 83 y.o. father decides he must go on the roof to try to stop this. He doesn't want help. I'm like fine. And when you blow off....

He didn't. Blow off the roof nor stop the zipper effect. You can still hear the nails pulling free even after 5 hours every time the wind picks back up. At first it was just 5 shingles. By dark it was 3 dozen. Better hope it doesn't begin to rain before an insurance adjuster gets out here. Two hours on hold with the insurance company waiting for someone pick up ended with the call disconnecting at their end.


Before that we had spent the afternoon with my favorite cousin my dad's age in her senior living center. That was very nice. We barely made it home before the wind.

I tried to figure out if my insurance pays for jardiance and dexcom but now it's decided my password isn't my password and any attempt to get it to email me a password reset has failed.

And I called my endocrinologist this morning to see if I could come 30 minutes late (because she's always an h our late anyhow) they were going to call me back. Never did. the problem? They put the appoint on the only day I can't be there without canceling work. And I could have sworn it was monday. It was SUPPOSED to be monday.


I was researching something for a Hazbin Hotel story (not the one below) and I needed to see who was the first woman newscaster in America. The answer was Dorothy Fuldheim in 1947 which is way before I imagined. (Mostly I was double checking to see if Vox could have had a female co anchor in the time period S2 depicted)

I thought she was interesting so have DOrothy's history for Women's History month. You can read about her
here.


So for the fannish 50 part of this, here's my story and my recs

Title: Not Licensed For This


Summary: Angel finds himself caught between a feuding Vox and Val and tries to help them be better partners. What else could he do? An annoyed Val was a dangerous Val and Angel wasn’t putting up with it today.

Rating: teen

Notes:Written for Sarajaye in the three sentence ficathon for the prompt Hazbin Hotel, Angel+Vox/Valentino, he unwittingly ends up playing couples therapist for them.

This was also written for the allbingo prompt of tension and for spikesgirl58’s 6 word prompt challenge. The six words were Spirit, Jump, Bracket, Detector, Baby, & Pudding

For some reason I set this pre-season. Just seemed like an interesting time to explore a little.

Maybe it's a good thing I don't have one near me (it's 90 miles away with my Trader Joe's). I would have even more of a food hoarding issue and much less money. That said, I made a nice haul and my poor car is going to be much more loaded going home than it came here.

Somehow this did manage to eat up huge chunks of my day.

I'm still batting around ideas for what to do this year. Then I feel selfish for thinking about vacation when the world is on fire. On the other hand it'll still be on fire if I sit at home in my apartment. Sigh.

I have some community recs worldbuildex looks interesting. Sign ups are right now

and then there is vampiremedia all about vampires.


And for Women's History month how about the wiki for Rita Levi-Montalcini She is a noble prize winner and one of the few women in my biomedical books. Now. I never heard of her until I began teaching and she wasn't even in my earliest books teaching. So I've only seen her in the last 15 years. How sad is that?
