Another "I'm alive" post

Seems that about once a week, I remember I still have an LJ ;) What time of mine isn't eaten by work is consumed by fyrie and our menagerie of original characters.

On the good news front, the postal strike is on hold and this means I got my mail - alighiera's card and valancystar's package both made me suitably bouncy :) As did Amazon.de's new promotional delivery charge of 6 euro per shipment of anything. I need to order Christmas presents :D

Bad news? Still haven't started the Yuletide fic due to work obligations and not having finished reacquainting myself with the source material (see: work obligations). Less than three weeks until deadline :S

And a very happy birthday to merentha :)
