Fic Of The Week - Week Twenty Nine

[bk_forever]

Last week must have been Angst Week! I don't know if this week's fic will be more cheerful or not, though I suspect not... I'm blaming my choices on the dreary, cold weather!

Okay, only one fic this week, but the chapters are relatively long and the whole fic weighs in at around 45,000 words.

Potentiality (Or: How I Learned To Loathe The Quantum Bomb) is by bjewelled and is yet another fic from 2008 - August this time. It's eight chapters and is Ianto-centric, which is always a plus for me!

Summary: Somewhere between “Countrycide” and “Captain Jack Harkness”, Ianto Jones went from hardly knowing how to hold a gun to be willing and able to use it. How did he get there, and what did he have to sacrifice in the process?

Sounds like a lot of Ianto-angst can be expected!

Part 1 is here: http://bjewelled.livejournal.com/40846.html and parts are linked.

Short but sweet post from me this week! Happy reading, everyone!

You sound like you are doing very well taking care of your rabbit. I hope you and George got all the white fluff off. lol! My cats should see the vet more, but it is just too much money. I just make sure we keep flea med. on them like I've said before. I am more worried about Alex's stomach problems and his teeth. We badly need to set up an appointment with his dentist to have them cleaned. I've done very bad by him in that the years Michael was messed up on drugs, I didn't get Alex into a very set routine of brushing his teeth. Once a day is all he does now and that is not enough! He had bunch of his baby teeth capped last year and has not had a cleaning this year. I can't get him to floss either. We flossed them for him for awhile, but Michael got tired of doing it. We gave up. I wish I could find a way to encourage him to do it. He hates brushing his teeth and we tell him all the time that he will lose his teeth if he doesn't take care of them. I'm letting my own problems get in the way of making sure Alex is taking care of well enough or at least that is the way I feel. It doesn't help that Michael has not pushed to get his teeth checked out more othen either though I know he cares. Michael didn't brush much as a kid either and got a lot of cavities and lost teeth too I think. I am so the opposite about mine. I even had braces on mine when I was 16 years old. I wanted pretty, straight, healthy teeth, so that is why I kick myself so hard about Alex's. His extreme Vickery stubborness about not brushing doesn't help either. I'm in worry mode again, I need to stop it or I will never stop itiching.

I have no idea what is going on with my freaked-out body/brain! My stomach has been upset for days. Also, I have been swollening air or something, I have all these gas pains in my chest and I can't burp it all out! LOL! It really hurts though. I have had it in the past at times where it hurt when I would breathe in. This air just sits in my chest mostly, stomach or back sometimes too. I took "Tums" but I am not sure they helped. Finally most of it worked its way out, but right after it was over I started itching and breaking out in some welts again. I think all this is stress related now because I am still not taking any drugs that could cause this insanity. I am in a constant state of some kind of upsetness (is that a word?) about myself all the time it seems. I have got to work on the relaxation, I know. :( I took a Benadryl, but I think it is pointless, maybe it helps some and I just don't realize it.

That was really nice that you helped out your 79 year old neighbor. I am sure she appreciated it. :)

Long post again! YES! They cut me as you know by now! LOL!

Love you and I am sorry I have not been writing you sooner. I am going to work on that. I miss talking to you and think about you everyday even when I can't seem to push myself to type or if I have to go out and don't feel up to posting when I get home. Write me anytime. I do check my mail everyday and I will push myself to write you back if I have to, I mean if I am feeling bad ya know. I always "want" to write to you! I hate being me sometimes....whine, complain.......

{{{Hugs}}} & Love

Oooh, yes, I get that gas thing too! Stress and worry do a lot of bad things. I swallow air a lot, it's a nuisance and can be very painful. I haven't really found an answer, but I take an antispasmodic for the IBS which ensures the gas does find its way out - eventually, lol! It's not funny when it's painful though.

Had a crazy few days - mum dozed off yesterday and fell out of her chair. I heard a thud, went downstairs and found her in a heap on the floor. I've told her so many times not to sit hunched forward in her chair but she doesn't listen. Maybe now she'll be more careful. I worry because she weighs about 3 stone more than I do. If she falls there's nothing I can do, I just don't have the strength!

Misty goes in for surgery tomorrow. He's having another tooth out. He's a gummy bunny!

Love & hugs J xxx

Yes that gas was awful!...and yeah it is painful, but I need to laugh about this crap. I wish I could. I didn't seem to have it much at all today. Just a little fullness in my chest and throat. The itching and welts seem to come and go. *rolls eyes*

Oh your mother really needs to be careful. She could really hurt herself at her age. I know our bones get more brital with age and especially after menopause. If she fell and broke something, is there anyone you can call that could come help?!

I will be thinking of poor Misty and of you tomorrow. I hope things go well with the surgery. :) Poor little toothless thing! :( ...how does he eat his carrots? lol! Just kidding! I know you buy him rabbit food. :D

Good Luck tomorrow or rather today now.

Love Deb. ♥

Heading off to the vet soon, then hopefully shopping. Weather's not great though, it might rain (again!)

The doctor told me if mum has a fall I should call the ambulance - I guess that's in case she's done any damage. This time she didn't, just pulled a few muscles. She was lucky!. Okay, gotta go, talk to you later (I hope!) *hugs* Love J xxx

I hope the weather wasn't too bad. It looks like it is going to rain here soon. It is stormy looking.

I'm glad your mum is ok and I hope never hurts herself bad enough that you have to call an ambulance. Silly woman! lol!

hugs Deb. :)

Lol! I hope so too.

I was lucky yesterday, it started to rain a little just as I was loading my car with the supermarket shopping before going home, but it was only a few spots, I didn't even need to use my wipers. I got home, unloaded the shopping, put the car away and was sitting upstairs with my computer on before it really rained. Such a relief!

I found a John Barrowman CD in one of the charity shops, haven't had time to listen to it yet but maybe tomorrow I will. I have to phone the vet soon to see what's going on with Misty... Talk to you later *hugs*
