1. We did not do inventory after all -- PM decided we just did not have enough staff on such short notice, so she put it off until next week. That was okay; we used the extra staff we did have (because she extended ET's and MS's hours) to get stuff done that often is put off until Tuesday.

2. Today was bitterly cold with gusts of wind up to 40mph. I was awakened several times last night by the windows in my living room rattling in their frames, so this evening I stuck some folded paper around their edges to help pin them in place, and stuffed rolled up paper towels into the cracks where the upper frame meets the lower frame, because those gaps were leaking frigid air into my apartment.

Tomorrow I am going to buy cling wrap and seal the windows up properly until spring. I would have done that today, but the only cling wrap I have to hand is translucent rather than transparent, and has tacky red-and-green line art all over it. I suspect I bought it on sale two or three Christmases ago.

3. All six of my Yuletide stories have been commented on, which is nice. So far, one of them seems to be the clear winner in terms of recs and comments... and I am not surprised, really, because it's in probably the most 'popular' fandom, insofar as Yuletide fandoms are popular in the first place. (Well, one of the others is also in a popular small fandom, but it does not focus on the beloved woobie characters, so I am not surprised that it's a bit less noticed. And I have nothing against said beloved woobie characters -- they are my woobies too! -- but yeah, in any canon source, there will always be some characters who will get more attention than others.)

4. I really must put together a recs post tomorrow, since I have some stories that I really like, and also I want a more public forum in which to proclaim the virtues of my own gifts, because so far I am the only person who has commented on Ankhanan Justice, and that is a crying shame. (To Play the Picochet has been noticed by four people besides me, which is still not nearly enough, but is at least something.)

Seriously, I don't care if you have never read Heroes Die, The Blade of Tyshalle, and Caine Black Knife. Go read Ankhanan Justice. It works as a standalone fantasy adventure (though admittedly, some of Caine's side thoughts make more sense if you know the canon background), and it is a lot of fun! Also violent and bloody, but I think that just makes it more fun!
