Yuletide and solstice

escritoireazulI have uploaded my Yuletide story, after obsessively tweaking it all day and a final quick round of questions with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thestalkycop who made a miraculous recovery just to hold my hand through the final edit and upload process. (I need this because I am convinced it is a load of crap and want to scrap it and start all over. Again. Damn it.)
I've not had a very good day, so the above was pretty much the highlight, plus mail and wrapping gifts. (Well, sticking them in gift bags, because I got lazy this year and refused to try to wrap the more difficult ones.) (And I still suck and need different size bags on one or two.) Plus I am watching The Relic (and did while I wrapped) which is always good for happiness. (Though not as good as the book, or any of Preston and Child's books, really.)
Plus tonight is the solstice. Thank all the gods (male and female and other) who were, are, or will be. I can't stand the lack of sunlight; I can tell the difference in my mental health, can feel myself getting crazier as I get less and less light, especially this year when I go to work in the dark and come home after the sun has set. I did my ritual, lit my candle, meditated outside despite the freezing weather, and found something like peace.
And then I came in and someone on the flist linked to discardia and I need that, too, because this is what I am trying to do with my life.
I hope you all find what you need as well.
