Advent 2025 - Day 22

[wiseheart]

My cold is developing nicely. I've moved on from the stuffed head phase to the running nose phase. Whether that's a positive thing or not, it remains to be seen. At least no sore throat, no chest soreness, no coughing and no fever. So it's just a simple cold which I had achieved by running to and fro from the overheated kitchen to the unheated balcony during my baking frenzy.

Other than blowing my nose every thirty seconds it was a peaceful day. I've postponed the grocery shopping for tomorrow, deciding that one more day in steady warmth was in order, finished decorating the Christmas tree and even started working on the upmost piece of my depressingly high pile of things-that-need-mending. We had leftovers, so there was no need to cooking, and aside from the physiotherapist lady's visit nothing really happened. I took two short naps, read some fanfic and concentrated on recovering. *g*

The tree:


I also started to post my decades-old (started in 2003 and never finished)Alternate Voyager stuff to otherworlds_lib, inspired by ApostropheN's series over at AO3. Mine will get there, too, eventually - I just hope no-one will accuse me of plagiarism, seeing that mine is twenty years older. But you never know.
