On the plus side, since applying a sticky heat patch first thing this morning, I can now move my head almost 90 degrees! Not either side, 90 degrees in total, but it's a start. Sleeping propped up on pillows has really done one on my neck :/

I've set myself up with a Pillowfort.io account, mostly so that I could snag my Jadesfire username, rather than having to add numbers to it. I haven't done much other than log in yet, and working out how it all fits together will be next week's job, but if Tumblr folks migrate there, at least I can now follow them. Hopefully cross-posting will be possible, via IFTTT if nothing else.

I'm decidedly miffed that my cold arrived just as I was getting properly fannish again. I'd planned to record a bunch of treats for #ITPE (a podfic exchange), and I was just getting into the swing of writing. Neither have made any progress for the last fortnight, and I've accepted that they're not going to. Some years, Stuff just happens, and all you can do is roll with it. At least I got my main gift done early for #ITPE, and I meet the minimum for the Big Bang I'm signed up for, and can carry on in the New Year.

We're having a small housewarming tonight, which I'm really looking forward to. It's not an all-at-once thing, more a drop-in-when-you-can thing. Low key and friendly, I hope, and it'll just be nice to have people in the house. Once we've done it once, I think it'll be easier to keep the social thing going in the new year.

Honestly, though? It's also easier to gear up for it knowing I now have a dishwasher to put everything in afterwards. It's amazing how much difference that makes!

Today was supposed to be a slow, quiet one. Then I had a request to rush through a huge pile of books, on a day when neither my head or arms will move properly. This should be... interesting...

Aw, well, good luck with the books! And simultaneously, take care of yourself if you can...

I don't have to do processing very often (LA does it all!), so I'm sooooo slow at it! But I need to get in practice, I guess. Thanks goodness for documentation.

I've turned up the radiator in my office and have my office blanket on, so I'm doing okay, thanks :)

As long as you don't have to peel off any old labels first! (I did a whole lot of that once and I've never quite lost the urge to pick stickers off nearly everything ever since...)

I'm sorry about your neck! That sucks.

You were under so much stress with everything you've been doing, your body was ripe for a take over. :(

I hope your housewarming goes well! Have people drop in whenever sounds like a nice way to do it. That way you will hopefully get a steady stream all evening and not everyone coming at once and then leaving at once.

Yeah, there's not going to be a chance to catch my breath until about 2nd January now, so something was bound to go wrong! Hopefully my cough is on the mend, which should sort out my back!

Thanks. We invited people with and without kids, and who work different hours, so having a 'drop in any time' policy seemed like the best idea. And as it's a work night, no one will stay too late, and it lets us clear as we go. I'm really looking forward to it!

Hope the house warming is a fun evening and that your neck is better soon!

[white_hart]

It was a very nice housewarming :-)

[jadesfire]

(As I hope you noticed) I was delighted you came - knowing how MUCH everything is at the moment, it really meant a lot to me. <3 we had a lovely evening, thank you!

Awww man, I'm sorry your body's not cooperating; that sucks. :( I hope your housewarming was a success!
