well that went well

[tielan]

The week turned out to be just too much. Work, plus the lingering lurgy that has been surreptitiously kicking my ass the last six months.

I asked for an extention on ToT and Shipoween last night, but then decided to properly default on ToT (I was not prepared for the degree of eldritch horror that the recip wanted given my state of brain). Turns out the Shipoween extension request bounced back and I am in default. :(

Now I kind of don't want to sign up for Yuletide.

Also: one of the cats peed on my bed last night, necessitating a full was of bedclothes which I'd only just replaced the day before. UGH.

I'm so sorry

I asked for an extension for Shipoween and the mod granted it since they hadn't yet sent out the pinch-hits. So...there's that.

OH KITTY NO

[tielan]

Yeah. Not what I needed at all.

I'm scared to sign up for Yuletide, too, because of schoolwork obligations. But I would also be sad to miss out.

As for the 6-month lurgy - I'm pretty sure everyone in the WORLD has suffered that this year. :P

I signed up and I'm hoping for something good.

For me, a '6-month lurgy' is the 'cold' that I have all through winter, slight runny nose, throaty in the mornings, occasionally a hacking cough. Rarely bad enough to present at the doc's, usually just dogs me through the winter then vanishes in summer...

But yeah, I'm tired of it.

I signed up, too. *fingers crossed*

Btw, if you think you might find it at all helpful, you are MORE than welcome to join us over at ushobwri, a writing comm devoted to cheerleading each other as we also complain about how difficult writing is, lol. For the entire month of November, we have daily check-ins, topics of discussion, and, as I said, cheering for each other. Many MANY people come to get encouragement as they work on their Yuletide or other writing obligations - not just for NaNoWriMo. We'd love to have you! <3
