The briefest of updates

Hello, you all. My friends in the fandom world. :-)

I know I've been extremely absent here. On top of all the other hard and life-consuming stuff going on in my personal/family life, I also got an EXTREMELY demanding and hectic yet wonderful job - basically my dream job, as the librarian at the beloved, wacky, alternative high school I went to back in the day. It's only a one-year, long-term sub position (technically; although nobody treats me as though I'm temporary and I think most of the staff have *forgotten* that I'm temporary) so I try not to get too excited about any long-term prospects. But I love it.

Anyway, so that's me (the short version).

I did participate in Yuletide this year, so I'll post those fics here...eventually. I wrote my assigned work, of course, plus several drabbles and ficlets I dashed off at the very last minute (once I was on school break and had my brain back in my own possession). It felt so good to quickly, easily, copiously come up lots of ficlets to lots of exciting prompts, the way I used to! So good! (I did try to participate in Holmestice too, as a pinch hitter again, but the timing didn't work out. This job, y'all.)

Also coming up...maybe soon: the books I read this year. Although far fewer than usual! Because job!

I hope you're all doing okay. I miss fandom community! But I'm actually really happy and doing well, despite the absurd amount I work.
