Maybe it's the time of year

butterflydreaming Throwback icon. I think I'm more of a dirty chai these days, tbh.
It's been so long since I posted writing to this kind of journal that when I did that last post, I forgot until the... seventh or eight time editing the post, to put the title/rating/word count stuff at the top. I guess it made me nostalgic. AO3 was down, or just not working well via mobile browser, and I was so happy to have finished something that I needed to put it somewhere. Full of errors, too, it seems. I have since posted to the archive, with corrections.
The party on Saturday started the nostalgic wave, I think. I. Don't. Like. Nostalgia. Or, looking back -- maybe that's the more accurate thing to say.
I feel so mighty today. I have sent out holiday cards to everyone on the exchange list, bought the last international stamp I needed to make that happen, written and posted two fics in the last month (for a total of about 6K words), and survived Thanksgiving. For the last several days, I've been shorted on spoons, so really any one of those things accomplished is a marvel.
Water's hot! Tea tonight is Peachy Kiwi from Experience Tea, which turns a lovely deep red when steeped the recommended 4 minutes. They make such good herbals. The name makes it sound wimpy, but it is, in fact, complex and marvelous. Roasted Almond Fruit is still my favorite of theirs, the lemon-green was interesting, Coconut Chamomile continues to hold second place, and I still have one from NW Tea Festival that I have not tried. I bought so much tea this time! (It's great to be employed.)
Look at me. A post, even with links in it.
