Random: Tumblr has always loaded incredibly slow for me. Like, it'll take minutes to load a single post. Don't even imagine what an entire feed takes. One more reason why I just don't use it anymore.

Trying to work out what I want to receive and what I want to write for Yuletide is a wee bit exhausting this year. I feel like I should watch Stumptown and Titans, just so I have a little more new canon possibility. But I'm not hugely eager to receive anything - I tend to end up with the most generic of my requests - this year, I just want the opportunityto write something niche that at lesat one person will read.
I got my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
shipoween and my trickortreatex assignments in. Bus version. Dire bus version. But I'll go over them in the next couple of days; I just couldn't get my brain to do things quite as well as I wanted.
Would like to write at least one treat for So'w. Only one I'm looking at doesn't have a letter so...I could technically do anything. Technically.
I'll have to go through the ToT prompts to see if anything catches my attention, but...so far no.

If I can get my tax returns for the last three years back (no, I haven't put in my tax returns; yes, I should get something back) then I'll have some money - maybe enough to get through to the new year, whether or not the contract in Canberra happens. The Canberra job for a year would set me up very nicely financially, but all my social stuff would pretty much fall apart.
I mean, I could play hockey (Sundays), attend church (Sundays), come back for quilting days (Sundays), and do a little bit in the garden, but it'd all be pretty exhausting and I'd feel very fragmented and all over the place. Of course, this presumes I get the position.

A 'chai tea house' has opened in the area, and after the social soccer game on Thursday night, I drop in for a cuppa. The guy mixes up the spices on the spot and heats the chai right there on a gas stove, and it's pretty delish. Last week was pretty quiet, this week was pretty busy. And I bumped into a former work colleague who was contracting on a project my company was doing back in 2014! That was a surprise; we caught up a little, and it was good.

Okay, time to get a wash. And not write the entirety of this fic that suddenly wants to be written. Also, I'm having naming issues. I keep on wanting to type [original fiction heroine name] instead of the fanfic character that I'm supposed to be writing, because that's the zone my head has been in for the last couple of months.
