this and that

[oanja]

Still not over the flu completely, but I did survive the day at work and I'm getting better now, so at least I won't be sick on Holiday, which would have sucked, especially because I was sick during midsummer holiday, which was my only other paid days off work this year. :P Hopefully I can actually have an actual vacation this spring. I really want to go to England again, or if not that then like Rome or Athens. I can't believe I've still never seen those places when you consider what a huge history nerd I am.

I got my audible coin today and am faced with the problem I have every month of figuring out what I want. I've noticed that I need to get more upbeat and funny books on audio, as more serious/dramatic books seem like a slog when I'm listening to them. But the problem is that upbeat and funny books tend to be pretty short and then I feel like I'm not getting enough bang for my buck. (the eternal dilemma)

Signed up to this bingo thing at genprompt_bingo , let's see if it shakes me out of my fic writing funk. I think I need to put like a wordcount restriction for myself, maybe like 2k. I did a challenge once where you had to do less than 1k and that was too short for me... I'm too wordy.
