I had a dream that started with an introduction reminiscent of the Babylon 5 intro that went "The year is 2021, the Year of the Beleagered Badger, the second year of the Plague Years..." Gah and now I can't get it out of my head. Plague years indeed. Stupid subconcious.
And then after I twinged my back last week (I got better but it tooks days), I bit on the inside of my cheek (yes, those same wisdom teeth I would already have had removed if COVID hadn't closed the hospitals) AND I ate something that disagreed with me yesterday and well, crap, if this is an indication of what is to come... I starting to think my body only just got the memo I'm hitting forty in six months and started panicking. *eyeroll* Well, it can stop doing that any minute now because I'm starting to get fed up with it.

Hooo boy, do I hear you, Bright. On all levels. With just the minor addition of 'un-' before employment.Otherwise, not much to report. Still need to come up with a game plan for the year to get out of my current dead end employment. Still need to get an idea for the solstice story swap that doesn't suck. Still need a life...
*Makes note of title* Sweet and adventuresome sounds just what I want right now. Thanks for the recommendation.I was trying to finish the Christmas-themed book I was reading before midnight but didn't quite get there and had to finish it the next day. It was a really good book, though. The Enchanted Sonata by Heather Dixon Wallwork. If you think you'd enjoy a sweet, adventuresome, and overall fun Nutcracker retelling (with some Pied Piper retelling thrown in) I wholeheartedly recommend it and will probably make it annual Christmas reading.
If you thought about it, you've been already more active than me.My power was out the whole day yesterday (11 to 5:30). I got a bit of reading in. Can't say that I did any writing, but I thought about it. Happy New Year to you all!
