solstice snapshot

house: defcon omgINCOMING

yard: somebody coming to get rid of the leaves tomorrow, in time for dinner "party"

gifts: 13/20, 3/5 stockings, 1/3 kids done with their own shopping

hobbit: still unseen, fml

back: semi-de-kinked, no actual crunching so far

christmas day dinner: menu decided upon (basically, fish of the day, as the plan is to get up super-early on Christmas Eve and go hit the markets and see what looks good. We're hoping for a side of salmon.)

work: done for until 12/31 when I'm going in to write a draft in the peace of everyone being off.

nye: uhm. last year, L & I went spectacularly off the rails with pomegranate martinis, so I think the husbands are pretending the night doesn't exist this year.


this is why i never do holiday fic exchanges!
