edenfallingThings done as of 7pm-ish:
1. Sorted through some childhood document folders after all, and chucked a good amount of stuff into recycling.
2. Walked into town (so as to get my daily photo of Cascadilla Creek), caught a bus out to the mall, and arrived at my Not the IRS office.
3. Listened to some more season 3 episodes of The Magnus Archives.
4. Printed out some of my own tax documents. I think I now have everything except my 1095-A.
5. Scheduled a tax prep appointment with one of my prior clients. \o/ I mean, the appointment is in late February, but whatever.
6. Wrote ~825 words of a ficlet that I intended to be about how to build a functional river-crossing bridge in Narnia, given that classic stone bridges feel like chains to the river spirits as per dialogue/events in PC, and given that Golden Age Narnia doesn't seem to have had bridges at all. But fords and ferries are so inefficient, you know? So my protagonist is a teenage human girl who seems to have taken alternate methods of bridge construction as her... sort of combination of romantic change-the-world goal and hyperfixation. The plan was for her to meet up with an equally curious/experimental-minded naiad and develop a beautiful creative partnership. Except after the human girl left home in pursuit of her goal, she somehow wound up working in a tax office in the early post-Miraz years, where the chief auditor is a Lynx working to hunt down corruption and tax evasion left over from Miraz's reign, so I am no longer sure what on earth is going on here. *hands*
...
Now I'm going to either poke at that story some more or kill time websurfing until we close up the office for the night, after which I will buy groceries and catch a bus home.
