So, um... How do people get those pretty banner thingies that go with their stories? How do they find the time to make them?

OTOH - what I've done with my time in the last 4 days:
-spent 6 hours running errands
-baked 28 loaves of gingerbread
-used a hand-saw to de-branch and cut into 2 foot pieces last year's yule tree, to burn this year
-made 36 vials of lip balm
-strung up 75 feet of colored lights on the roof, rewired the outdoor electricity, and put 150 feet of white lights on the pathways
-bought, brought home, and decorated a tree
-decorated the house
-sent out to post and wrapped for local delivery all non-hand-made xmas presents
-finished knitting scarf and hat
-wrote 15 pages of EE8
-researched a ritual for a friend
-made 8 Lush-type bath bombs

No wonder I'm so bloody tired.

Now I just have to write about 2/3 more of EE8, finish the ritual, and make *gulp* 40 more bath bombs. Before my flight Thursday morning.

I can't even think of a clever one-liner to end this now, I'm so stressed.

*hugs* You put me to shame, you really do. You do so much! I just hope you have a fantastic solstice and christmas.

My banner was made for me as a surprise by the wonderful tillie1202 - I can't make anything like that at all. I'm hopeless in that department.

I'm so looking forward to EE8. :D It's going to be worth the wait. Good luck with everything you've still got to do.

Thank you! Sometimes it takes listing it all like that for me to realize -why- I haven't had time to do other fun things.

Oooh, nice gift. Maybe I will have to ask Santa for one. I too am hopeless with that sort of thing. :)

Thank you for the reassurance that someone is still reading!

Ah, perspective. :) But I do hope you're able to spend more time on the things you enjoy soon. I reckon you've earned it. :)

I'm just graphically challenged, I think. I wouldn't even know where to begin. Your writing is very inspiring, so I'm sure someone out there would be only too happy to make you a banner.

Of course I'm still reading! I love - LOVE - this fic. :D It'll be both wonderful and awful to see it end, but I know there'll be more to look forward to in the future from you. :)

Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier! Got busy. *sigh* But thank you for the praise - I'm saving your kind words for when I feel blue! *smooch*
