Hurrah!

Things are looking good.

I finished my Yuletide fic with a couple of hours to spare yesterday. It is by far the longest story I have written and I am quite pleased with it. Now I can calmly look forward to the story that Yule Goat will deliver unto me on the 25th. Writer, I love you already. Incidentally, I will be in the thick of a family gathering on the 25th and may not get internet access immediately so if I am slow to respond after the reveal, please pardon me. I'll certainly get a chance to read it by the evening of the 26th.

My mommy is visiting for winter break. Yesterday, while I was at work, she went out adventuring and toured the entire city by bus - something I have never gotten around to doing. Then we walked around to see the neighborhood light with mugs of hot tea. Our neighborhood goes all out in its Christmas decor and adds a peculiarly Austin touch. This year we were graced by the presence of animatronic alligators and flamingos in addition to the usual standbys: Disco Baby Jesus and the Sock Monkey Nativity.

Have I mentioned I finished my Yuletide fic? I can't believe it's over. It was also the most fun writing experience I've had in years. I want to hug the person who prompted me.
