Yuletide is somehow this embarrassment of riches this year. Why do so many of us have multiple fills? Did everybody default? Were there that many people writing treats? I'm overwhelmed! And delighted. I haven't touched the archive yet, and may not for several days, but I did get two phenomenal stories this year, and you all should read them and ( Read more... )

I can't say today was full of the very worst waiting around, because I was getting paid for it, but it's deeply aggravating and also draining to wait for three-plus hours as your client assures you that it's better to have you on-hand, because something should be coming in for you shortly.

Operation: Get Your Act Together off to a rummy start this morning, as I accidentally woke up at 6:45, spite-slept until 8:15, did some foam roller stuff and tweeted a joke I was proud of. Last night, while trying to decide if I would fall asleep around 1 a.m. (despite being tired -- my brain does this), I came up with a list of priorities for the ( Read more... )

Thing I'm very pleased with: My therapist now has me setting weekly realistic goals for myself, rather than simply letting me fall apart all over her couch for an hour.
