General update
Dec. 25th, 2019 05:22 pm1) I have received a wonderful Yuletide story: What Happened At The Wine, a gen story for Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin. Life as a would-be mathematician in the Valley of the Kesh is not so easy...
2) I am spending Christmas with family and other loved ones. No family quarrels yet! *crosses fingers* My four-and-a-half-year-old niece is adorable. Yesterday she told me that she loved me four times. Awwww. ♥
3) I did my traditional night out camping on the winter solstice. It was above freezing and a completely windless night, so very quiet that the loudest thing I could hear were the noises my stomach occasionally made. I got up before dawn (that is, at eight) and watched the light gradually come.
4) Tonight I am going to watch Star Wars, with my brother-in-law who is the only other person in my family who is interested. I am (almost) unspoiled, but I don't really have any high expectations. I figure that is the best way to handle it.
5) And with all this going on, my fannish obsession with Flight of the Heron continues unabated. ♥ I sneak away to write fic when I can, and fantasize scenes for the more ambitious sequel that will probably need a fair amount of research to write. I usually mainline the Yuletide archive when it opens (or the parts of it that I am interested in, anyway), but I don't have the emotional/fannish bandwidth for that this year. Will come back to it later.
