Sometime in the next day or so I will need to do a year-end fic round-up. I haven't done one of those since 2008 2007, believe it or not. I have been fandom-absent for a while but this year I have over a dozen fics to contemplate, most all of which I wrote in the past five months, yay!

In the meantime, drinking a nice chardonnay and answering comments and feeling generally pretty happy. I have some laid-back New Year's plans (the only kind I usually have, truth be told) that look to be fun. My car was making suspicious noises the last month or so, so much so that I had put off getting the snow tires on fearing that this would be the fateful final trip to the garage for my 2003 vehicle. Thank god I took it in this week, because it turns out the suspicious noises were from a broken part from a repair done just last spring and it's still under warranty, which means free fixing! Whoo!

Next week I'm properly back to work, though of course I have a grant application to bang together tomorrow because it wouldn't be the holidays if I didn't have some stupid thing due. (Who makes December 31 a deadline, I ask you? Jerks, that's who!)

And that's about all I have to say this fine evening. Whoo!
