With all the ick that implies. The weekend was apparently pretty un-fun for the student staff, with a lot of patrons being rude and worse, the backup checkout system not working, etc.
Did I ever say what presents SO and I are exchanging this year? I don't think so. He gets (has already gotten, in fact) a new vacuum cleaner - a Dyson, very good on pet hair. We bought it last week and he's already used it twice and loves it. Me, I get a repair of my KitchenAid mixer, which you may remember broke down last winter and which I'd never managed to get around to locating someone to fix. SO has found someone local and already taken it in (hopefully will be done this week or early next). Tonight I'm going to try to finish wrapping/boxing up gifts that need to be mailed off to family, so that SO can take them to the post office tomorrow. Then that will be done, and it'll just be the holiday letter to write and get off.
Oh, on that note, thank you to
dementordelta for the lovely card! *g* First fandom card of the year, and most appreciated. (Although I did not display it for our party yesterday, I confess.)
Fic-writers reading this post, I have to apologize for my woeful lack of reading/commenting of late. I suck, I know. I'm sorry. I'm desperately trying to finish my Yuletide fic (deadline in a week! *tears hair*) and after that I don't have any scheduled writing due until February... so maybe after next Tuesday I will be able to do some reading. I hope. If there's anything you especially think I ought to read, don't be shy about telling me.
I think there was some other random thing I've been meaning to mention, but now I can't remember. Senility setting in early?
And today's ficlet was Star Trek XI:
- Vacation Fun [Kirk/McCoy, adult]: Leonard's going to make their vacation fun. Here at IJ.
