"beth" 6,674 / 30,000 (22.2%)

I am loving this story. 

I've stopped for the night now, as I've hit a less-interesting point (traversing the rest of the desert where nowt happens, and reaching Fall) that I'm too tired now to figure out how to tell, but the ideas are still swirling in the back of my sleepy mind.

Bizarre-o happenings in China are story-licious.  I may work that into "beth", or make it something else.  We'll see. 

Added:  Oh yes, forgot to mention.  I got my stitches out today, from my little surgery wounds, and some of stitches had grown into my skin.  Which was so much fun when the nurse had to remove them.  It was like a joke about changing lightbulbs, only different - How many nurses does it take to remove one of Alex's stiches?  3!  Stupid knot had disappeared into my skin, and had to be tugged out with a needle.  And two of the other stitches had cut into my skin, leaving two thin lines of scab across the surgery wound.

Actually it hurt less than it sounds - stung, really, and only once badly enough to have me crying out.  One of the nurses was distracting me by talking about uni stuff.  She was really sweet - called me "Poor darling" and then got really embarrassed at having called me that. 

And now I have even more scabs to not pick.  *twitch*  This ain't easy, y'know.
