edenfalling1. I have sent 7 Christmas cards -- yay me! Of course, that still leaves me another 12-16, depending, that I need to send, but whatever. Progress is progress.
2. In other news, I have come up with a story idea for Yuletide, and begun writing it. I am quite sure the story itself is going to work (and fortunately, even if it hates me, any of its subsections can probably stand alone, though they'll work better together as a thematic whole) which is a relief.
3. In other other news, it turns out I will have possession and use of a car from New Year's to around Feb. 20th! This is because when I return from Spain, I will need to drive from Newark up to Ithaca, and it's simpler for me to keep the car until I return to NJ for my high school reunion in February than it is for my parents to come up and drive back in two vehicles. So I think January will be my month for various non-urgent errands that I tend to put off for logistical reasons.
Cars: very expensive, but occasionally very useful.
4. And now I am going to write a poem about trains, in five lines or fewer, as part of Grandma Doris's present. (The other part will be, I dunno, a refrigerator magnet or something. She's impossible to shop for these days, and I can't exactly visit her in July and tell her my presence then should count as her Christmas present.)
