Flute's Moʻolelo

Wow, it has been a long time since I've posted anything. I'm still kicking, so I guess that's a good thing.

Can't remember if I ever told anyone this, but I am currently a Para at one of the local elementary schools here. I work with 2nd - 5th graders on a daily basis. Well, on Friday, in the 5th grade class, the teacher had the student do some free writing. They could write about anything as long as they wrote something. I didn't really have much to do other than help with the occasional spelling issue. So, I decided to write something too. This just came to me suddenly and it end up being really profound. I read it to the class, and the teacher and students all praised me for it. This is after most of the class had written and shared (some I feel more profound than mine).

This is a masterlist of all of the Hawaii Five-0 fics I've written. All fics are finished unless labelled otherwise. Fics are rated anywhere from G to NC-17, and include Gen, Het, and Slash. Please read all warnings in the headings of each fic.

Fics are posted in order they were written, unless they are part of a series. Series' are posted at the end of each section.

Are fanvids still a thing? I'm not online as much as I used to be, so I have no clue what's going on anymore. If so, it would be awesome if someone would make a Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier MCU vid with the song The Mission by 30 Seconds to Mars. There are a few other of their songs that would make great vids as well. If there is already one out there, let me know.

Random post is random. Later.

I guess I was wrong. Ah well.

A lot has happened since I last posted. I am no longer a manager, but am much healthier than I was. I still work at the same place, but I have less responsibility. I don't get paid as much, which can be a problem, but I get paid for every second I work instead of working more hours than I get paid for.

I'm actually looking into going back to teaching. I keep getting the run-around though, while trying to get information on renewing my certificate. Hopefully, I'll know something soon.

In other news, I watching the first Iron Man two days after seeing Avengers: Endgame for the second time. No spoilers, but damn. Sure puts that first movie into a different light, and really shows how far Tony had gone in the 11 years since. Wow!

I also have a lot more thoughts about Endgame and related subjects if anyone wants to talk. I haven't really had the chance to really discuss it with anyone. I had this really crazy dream after seeing it too. Kind of a what if/alternate universe thing. My brain can be a very interesting, and sometimes scary place. ;-P

Well, that's it for now. I'll try and be around more, and I'll definitely converse with anyone that replies. One advantage to not being a manager anymore, is I have more free time.

Apparently, I haven't posted anything since February. Wow! I didn't realize it had been that long. Well, not much has changed. Things are still hectic and stressful, but hopefully things will be looking up soon.

Summer has not been kind to us. Hubby has a bulging disc in his neck that he will be having surgery on in late September. I have messed up my right wrist something bad, and I can't lift anything over a few pounds with it. Makes things difficult at work, but they've helped me out there with my duties. At least they are being accommodating. The doctors and insurance are another story. I can't afford to get an MRI, so the doctor won't even look at me. I've basically been in limbo for almost 2 months. It's gotten a little better, but still not well enough. I wish I knew exactly what was wrong with it. Aren't doctors supposed to help/make you feel better?

I'll let you know how things are going once I know more. Next obstacle, hubby's surgery. If all goes well, he won't have anymore pain and numbness. *crosses fingers*

Long time, no post. My life has been hectic and really I haven't had much of a life since we moved back to Louisiana. I work mostly nights with my job, and I sleep for a good bit of the the day. I'm hardly ever on my computer anymore, and when I am, it's only for a few minutes.

I used to really like my job, but now it's just a never ending string of frustration and annoyance. They switched general managers from another restaurant in the franchise, and we went from being the rest in the franchise, to possibly one of the worst. I just wish TPTB would realize the issue already and take care of her. Oops... did I say her? LOL I just hope a remedy is found soon, or corporate may close us down, or we may all get fired. I just don't want to get in trouble or go down for something I didn't do. I guess we'll see.

I'm hoping that I will be able to spend more time online in the ear future. I've felt so out of the loop lately, and it's been a bit disconcerting. I'll at least try to get on here and post more. That's about all the time I have for now. Hope to be back soon.

Stargate SG-1 turns 20 years old this week, and Gateworld has posted a tribute video on their site. Makes me want to go back and watch it again. Wish I had the time.

Well, the Photobucket bomb finally hit me. Both my journals probably look crazy now, but especially my LJ. At least my user icons and gifs are stored at my LJ. Everything else is on Photobucket. If I had the time I'd go and try and remedy that, but I don't. I have a job now!

About that... I am an assistant manager at one of the local Zaxby's restaurants. I've worked mostly nights so far, which is from either 5 or 6 pm to 3-ish am. Luckily, I was off today, and work days for the next 2 days. I close Saturday night, and I'm off on Sunday. I really like the job, but I am exhausted all the time. I'm hoping that I won't have as many nights on a regular basis. It's really draining.

That's it for now. I've had a long day, but I got to hang out with family, which was great. I have to get up early in the morning, so I better sign off for now. Later!

As the title says, we've finished the move. Now, we're just trying to unpack. I didn't realize how much stuff we had. At least we have room for it now, instead of having to put some in storage. This is the first time since we got here on Tuesday that I've had to time to really relax and get online.

Also, I have a job! It's for Zaxby's (where I was working back in Mississippi), but this time, I'll be a manager. I'm a bit nervous, but feel that this will be a great opportunity for me. I like the other managers I've met, and I think I'll like it at this store. Wish me luck!

Well, that's it for now. I'll update again soon.

Well, New Jersey isn't going to happen. We just couldn't afford it, and we kept hitting roadblock after roadblock. It just got to be too much. So, like the title says, that door has closed.

There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, though. We are moving back home, sorta. We will going back to North Louisiana, about halfway between both our families. Hubby is going to complete his teacher certification that he started years ago before he started his Doctorate, and it looks like he'll be getting money from the school there to do it. Our moving timeline will be the same, but we will only be going 3 hours away.

This is a huge relief, even though it kinda feels like we're stepping back in time. The school is where hubby started his undergrad back in 1995. The first time around for him was not a good experience, but most of the people that gave him grief back then have moved on.

I feel, in my heart, that this will be a positive move forward for us. It won't be as big as an adventure as New Jersey would have been, but I think this could be a good first step for something else later on down the line.
