i'm just going to use this icon every day until christmas
I'm in this weird holding period at work. I'm basically the only person on the administrative end of handling this big thing on Thursday and getting anything done is like pulling teeth. It's insane. I can't move forward until I have signatures on this invoice, I can't get them yet, etc, etc. I had anxiety dreams about it last night, but so far this morning I've been able to pull my shit together and function like a normal human being.
I also have a ton of secret_mutant shit to do. I think that's my goal for tonight. I mean, not a ton--I've gotten like, three submissions that I just need to reply to and say, "HEY, GOT THESE, THANK YOU, YOU'RE A ROCKSTAR" but...yes, haven't done it yet. Also, one person who dropped out who I've already assigned a pinch hit for, but who apparently didn't get my email saying that or something because they sent another one. Or maybe they just wanted me to know twice. Whatever.
But, it's Monday, it's two weeks until Christmas (less, even), all of my shopping is done save for one(ish) thing, and I'm having a party on Saturday. Breathe, Kaitlyn.

SPEAKING OF PARTIES, look, I'm having a thing on Saturday. It's at 5pm (I think) at my house. It is fancy, meaning you should dress fancy, not that my house will be fancy. Right now, the guest list is me, littledust, and metonymy, and if any of you jerks are interested, let me know. FULL DISCLOSURE: The majority of this party will be spent watching James McAvoy movies, drinking, and writing various winter exchange fics. So. You know. My kind of party. Just fancier.
COMMENT OR EMAIL ME.

SPEAKING OF CHRISTMAS. AND SHERLOCK. WHICH I WASN'T SPEAKING OF. BUT JUST GO WITH IT.
he season of scars and of wounds in the heart by cold_feets, sherlock - sherlock, john, mycroft, lestrade, mrs. hudson, ensemble (sherlock/john) - pg13 - 10k words
The short summary is "Sherlock and John have a lot of shitty Christmases and some not-so-shitty Christmases." It's a great look at how Sherlock and John become the people they are through the lens of the same day over twelve years. It examines how they create their own family and also learn how to open themselves up to the families they were born with.
It's a good story and you should read it. I would be remiss in not admitting that I had a hand in this, mostly by heckling and suggesting progressively shittier Christmases. I still hold the story would be better if it also included the Christmas that John was mugged of all the presents he was bringing the orphanage and the Christmas that Sherlock was shot and left for dead in the street to be eaten by wild dogs.

So, my plan for tonight is as follows:
1) secret_mutant maintenance
2) Bookstore for pregnant co-worker
3) Comments
4) Ficlets I owe people who donated to my friend's mom. (An update about that is coming after lunch.
