The good news -
* While I don't want to go to Connecticut, and I'm not going to go, I am apparently very excited to be seeing NYC again. I keep singing the NYC song from the OST to Annie.
The bad news -
* The physical object I am the most emotionally attached to, my camera bag, got stuffed in a re-purposed Amazon box and mailed back to the company today. Hopefully, the new one will be here soon. My old bag will be refurbished and resold, and will become someone else's camera bag.
* I went to start cooking what I planned for my holiday week dinners and I thought the burning smell was some residue on the cooktop. Nope, it was the material on the outside of the pan burning and bubbling off. I don't think pans should do that. Also, one of the ingredients I bought turned out to be... let's go with 'off'. So, it's all the in the trash now and I need to clean pan goo off the stove.
The mixed -
* I am nowhere near where I want to be in terms of typing all these handwritten pages over, but I've got a lot done on this project. It's currently going well.
When my writing laptop died I started writing something new. When I realized I wasn't going to be able to get the data pulled before my Truckee trip, I just kept focusing on it. I've got a lot of projects I want to finish, but it's hard to focus because which do I really want to be my first big finished original fic project? My laptop dying sort of cleared the decks and I just started something new and have just keep focusing on that. I will get back to my other projects, but for now this is it, this is the project.
I still have a lot to do, though, and while I will not have a first draft done this year I hope to have a lot more words down.

Yikes on the "off" ingredient and the pan. Eesh!
Hooray for having a project to focus on!
