Just finished the 40th (of 40) drafts for my current illustration job. They're stored away for now so I can look at them with a fresh eye in a week. The deadline is in December, I can take my sweet time. (The main reason I took this additional job during my sabbatical.)

Boy, I love jobs with a generous deadline. If it can be at all avoided I'm not going back to that ridiculous race against the clock I've done for 15 years. Most of the surplus income was lost on taxes and insurance anyway.

The weather turned nasty earlier this week and as I looked out at the rainy greyness, I realized it was time to look for a gym for the winter months. I decided on one that has kind of an iffy reputation and not the best online reviews; it's not cheap but still less pricey than my last one and it made a decent impression when I tested it. The sauna area looks clean and inviting, which is my main concern as I plan to spend a lot of time there. :) Plus, a major selling point is that it's right next to my climbing wall - I can finally go saunaing after climbing, hallelujah.

Just mustn't forget to cancel in time so I won't be saddled with the membership for the summer months.

Tumblr is full of talk about Secret Avengers and I still have to wait for two weeks for the TPB... really looking forward to that! And to Agents of SHIELD. So curious.

Having A Bit Of A Day, Here by [archiveofourown.org profile] kellifer_fic
Darcy/Clint, Jane, team, Coulson; not rated; 7736 words
Summary: Where Darcy gets a super power, kind of, sorta. Geez, she's just having a bit of a weird week, alright?
"Doctor Banner's lab is in the Avenger's tower. There's Avengers in the Avenger's tower. I'm really safe, I swear," Darcy repeats and Jane makes a disgruntled noise.

Darcy replays that conversation in her head the very next day when she's being held hostage.
