LJ X-Posting END NOTICE

Dear readers on LiveJournal,

this will be the last cross-posted entry to LiveJournal, so if you are one of the few people still following my updates, please bookmark my Dreamwidth Journal http://akk.dreamwidth.org for further contact. You can easily reach me there logging in with your LiveJournal account under open-ID.
I'm sorry for the few ppl I inconvenience with this, but frankly, the overwhelming majority of my contacts either disappeared or moved to DW, most of the communities and fandoms I followed are dead with Viewfinder's "Club Sion" and "Yamane Ayano" being the notable exception, and LJ's interface has long since become a pain in the mors even for checking the crossposts once in a blue moon.

Hope to meet you on DW,
AKK

Sport results (and side-effects)

Completing your doctorate is good for your career, but sadly not so much for your shape. To correct the physical result of my degree, I started doing body weight exercises regularly since last summer (thirty minutes on four days a week). By now I can sum up the results:

on the plus side:
  1. my scale shows approx. 10 kg less (yay!)
  2. I can run up the stairs up to the 3rd floor without getting out of breath (never could that before, so - wow!)
  3. I actually manage pull-ups instead of "hanging limp like a dead pig"s (double-wow!)
  4. my back aches are gone
  5. my knee aches are gone (and I haven't stumbled or lost my balance anytime since last Autumn)
  6. I've got a posture that (a) tempted my physician to compliments and (b) gets people in the supermarket to stay the step back required not to bump into me, my bags, or the produce I'm examining without me having to growl (wow-yay-finally!)

on the down side:
  1. I learned that sore muscles can hurt like hell even when you don't move!
  2. because my upper body circumference changed, I have to replace my blouses a size larger (whine for the money)
  3. because waist and thigh circumferences changed, I have to replace my trousers a size smaller (whine for the money)
  4. I have yet to find the courage to try on the (expensive) graduation suit and see if a good tailor can salvage it!
Overall, a thumbs up. I've finally found exercises that (a) work, (b) require a manageable amount of time, and (c) don't bore me to death. I'm going to continue them. Next target: consecutive pull-ups instead of single ones.

FM Planning update

It's official. Family Matters will have at least three chapters and an Interregnum more than originally planned. I thought 17 would be enough, but that doesn't provide enough space for finalizing the Mori and the Sumeragi clean-ups (plus, I need a 6th Interregnum and additional chapter space for Kamui's sake; FM is a Seishiro-Subaru fic, but that doesn't mean I can leave the unemployed Savior of Mankind in the lurch. The boy suffered enough without me letting him rot in the dump of abandon.

So I'm writing at chapter 14 now and then...

... - Interregnum 5 - 15 - 16: SumeraMori 2 - 17 - Interregnum 6 - 18 - 19 - 20: Epilogue

...and on to the sequel (if I things go really as planned and I don't come up with interesting detours that call for even more chapters that is).
