Yuletide ...

The word count tool says I have 1319 words. The down side is that plot-wise, that's only about a quarter of the story.

Anyway, I feel like garbage, so I'm staying home today. Maybe I'll be able to work on it, maybe not.

Hee. Methinks you've taken a liking to LONG fics. *g*

Well, last year's Yuletide was, IIRC, about 17,000, so this isn't really new!

Me too, the little girl and I are so fricking sick. This is the second day she's been off school. Even hubby is working from home today due to lack of sleep.

Good luck with your story. I find it really difficult to concentrate when I am sick.

Ibuprofen helped, presumably by reducing the swelling in my sinuses and taking care of the achy joints. I try to avoid combo cold medications because I sometimes don't react well to the ingredients. And I drank lots of my sis-in-law's "brew," which is tea (I use decaf), fruit juices (esp. citrus), honey, and spices.

I'm back at work today but it isn't thrilling. I didn't sleep well. How are you all doing?

The little grrrr is doing better, although I tried to send her off to school today, only to get a call from them a couple of hours later. I don't know if she's playing me or not, but she is kind of feeble still so maybe not. I am also feeble, but at least not coughing and stuff anymore, just snotty and achy. ;).

What's your special brew? That sounds really good!

I sort of make it up as I go along. Today (I stayed home again) it was about 3 cups of decaf tea, a quarter cup of honey, a broken-up cinnamon stick, 6 cloves, a chopped-up chunk of preserved ginger, 1½ cups leftover mulled cider (from our D&D holiday party Saturday), half a cup orange-tangerine juice, and half a cup 100% cranberry juice. Heated slowly.
