things done, things yet to do
Things I have done Thursday and Friday:
1. Wrote and mailed all my holiday cards. (No cute doodles this year, alas. I am tired and my hands are sore.)
2. Bought gifts for Dad, Mom, and Nick. Also bought a birthday present for Mom. As part of this project, I signed up for a $1.99 one-week trial of Amazon Prime, which I will promptly unsubscribe from by next Thursday. I used to be able to get a whole month's trial for free, but times change. (This is my yearly plan to get free holiday shipping for basically nothing. It's super effective! *evil grin*)
3. Finished rereading my Yuletide source canon. (Yes, this is hideously late. Sue me.) In conclusion, it has not been visited by the suck fairy in terms of content (aside from the general "needs more women!" issue that applies to most work from that time period *sigh*), but the writing is significantly clunkier than I remembered on a word-and-sentence level. Also I had entirely forgotten massive chunks of plot stuff, though I'd retained the entirety of the thematic arc... which is fair, since I'm pretty sure the thematic arc was the author's main point of interest.

Things I intend to do on Saturday:
1. Poke at Cat and Susan for gift suggestions. Order stuff if they provide ideas. Failing any clearly expressed desires on their parts, I will buy them interesting books from the local co-op bookstore. (Yes, Ithaca has a co-op bookstore. It's Ithaca. What ELSE were you expecting???)
2. Start writing my Yuletide fic, in which I intend to make a stab toward addressing the "needs more women!" thing, along with general thematic arc thoughts and explorations.
