Thanks to everyone who left me messages/comments/hugs. It's appreciated. I will get back to you all soon. I took a brief hiatus which was the best thing.

The only online stuff I did this week (a) work emails - and that's another story. There's one domain that is refusing to accept from any of my email accounts, and so I've had to go via a third party who is part of the committee. (b) reading/commenting on gift fic made for me at the 3 sentence ficathon, because I'm not a hypocrite. (c) games - I like Pet Rescue and Escape the Room games and that's a stress free way (mostly, lol) to spend some time.

I hugged my sister's dogs


I played games with my nephew

I put up Christmas decorations and queued up my Winter Song list.

I took a moment to decorate my Yule altar and to clear space and burn a candle with specific intent.

I started on making Yule presents - Christmas gifts can be brought but I have a tradition that Yule gifts are usually home-made things. In the past this has included fanfic, decorations, a digital photo scrapbook, a fanvid. I'm making a cross-stitch coaster. Might be a photo when it's done. Also a replacement cross-stitch door hanger for my nephew - last year I made him this one but he decided he's not into Peppa Pig any more so I'm making a Paw Patrol themed one. It might not be done for Yule but he's got his birthday this weekend (4 years old) and Christmas coming up, so it's not as if he will notice!

One of the real life tmi things resolved itself so that was helpful (and definitely lifted my mood).

I did some PC housekeeping and backed up all my data. The Cloud does not store All the Things so this is a good and important project.
Apart from when I accidentally deleted all my cookies *facepalm*; luckily my passwords were stored but I'm still having to log in to every site again.


Also I started poking at what I've missed and Tumblr has unfollowed several blogs. FFS; this isn't the first time I've had this issue happen, where Tumblr unfollows a blog and then makes a fuss about me adding it again. I go to great lengths to make Tumblr more user friendly for me such as X-Kit and RSS feeds but if the interface itself is at fault I can't do more.

I do finally have an idea for a short crack-y Yuletide madness treat so I'll type that up, making 10 fics total for Yuletide. I will be satisfied if I make it to ten.

I've home-gamed LJ Idol for the past two weeks but this week is an odd prompt and I'm still not feeling truly inspired so I'll probably give it a pass.

SHOW ME THINGS? :)
If you want to share a favourite gif, or seasonal/otherwise photo, or something you've done this week that you're proud of (no matter how small) or something else in the comments I would love that :D

It's nice to see you feel better. Taking a step back to breathe is often a good idea.

Yule gifts are usually home-made things

I like that idea!
