wiseheart | Advent 2025

I've been seriously sleep-deprived lately. Which is my own fault - staying up reading fanfic till 2am when I have to get up six hours later isn't the most intelligent thing to do. But the late night hours are potentially the most undisturbed ones, and I've discovered this interesting Voyager AU series a week or so ago and have been binge-reading it ever since. The overall angle is a bit too gay for my taste (I've left my very slash phase behind years ago), but considering the author it isn't surprising. But the re-imagining of the canon episodes (well, most of them anyway) with a different set of canon characters is brilliant, the world-building is highly imaginative, and all in all, it is a good read. I'll probably add a link to

telekis_vendiak, my fic recommendation comm later, if the author keeps up the quality.

Of course, such short nights mean that I need serious naps on the next day, but that's doable. Usually. Unless I have to leave the house, which complicates things. *g*

Today I went to our on-site concert rehearsal (after visiting the grandparents in the churchyard). The rehearsal went surprisingly well; much better than Tuesday's regular practice, in fact. Perhaps because we didn't have piano accompaniment (our pianist lady couldn't come) and we found our tune better that way? We'll see how it goes tomorrow, when we'll have extra practice. *fingers crossed*

On my way home I did a bit of grocery shopping; well, half of it, as it became dark while I was at Aldi, and the maze that is the Lidl parking lot can't be safely navigated in darkness. So I'll go to Lidl tomorrow. I found some lovely baking supplies at Aldi; supplies that I don't actually need right now but that might vanish by the time I'll need them, so I bought them. They'll keep.

My friend Evie called after I go home and we talked for about 40 minutes or so. We had a lot to catch up, as we hadn't talked for a week, which is a rare thing for us. So, now we're both well informed about each other. :))
