a sanctuary of sorts, and other things
Who doesn't love a list?
1. I wrote a fic the other week! My sister was on holiday so I lived in her house and it was calm and tidy and a really fun hideaway. So I wrote my first Vorkosigan fic for the Bujold Ficathon 2013 and its Kareen/Drou femslash, which I did not expect to write but really enjoyed. The two halves of the fic are pretty disjointed but I liked both parts so I posted them both anyway. Yay I typed words.
A Sanctuary of Sorts on AO3
Kareen Vorbarra/Ludmilla Droushnakovi, Vorkosigan Saga
Kareen's pregnancy has led to increased security and increased intimacy between Kareen and Drou, her bodyguard.
2. Work continues to be the most exhausting thing. I'm hesitantly beginning to look for new jobs because I don't know how long I can hang in there. I'm doing more and more support work for clients on top of my normal workload, and while its a privilege to have amazing survivors share their stories with me, it's also desperately sad. Confronting the absolute worst of humanity everyday is sickening. I've lost the ability to shut it off and I dream about it and wake up worrying about individual clients. :S Basically the summary of this part of the post is, Anna needs more supervision asap please. :D
3. I get to stay where I'm living for the next year. I sign on Monday. I like my flatmates and the location and the cheapness! That means that I'm holding at 11 moves in 3 years and making a significant step to lower that quota going forward! I think this means I can buy some furniture!
4. My boss is ill. :CCC She had a stroke and has been in hospital for weeks now. I went to see her on Friday and it was devastating to see her so badly off. I lasted two hours with her and then had to leave because I knew I was about to cry. I barely made it out the ward before I broke down. Four years working side by side and now, overnight, everything about her life has been stripped away and turned upside down. It's brutal. To give some context, she is 88 years old. Right now I think she would have rather died.
5. Quick, find something cheery! I'm on the Welcome to Night Vale bandwagon. Being the best bandwagon ever. It does weird things to your brain and is positively dangerous for people who already had enough narrator-like voices in their head anyway.
6. Just bought Les Mis tickets for all the Eskimo Kiss Project fangirls who are descending on me in September. Eskimos! I could not be more excited. I have spreadsheets and Plans for their Entertainment. SEPTEMBER BE HERE NOW. Fan meet ups are the perfect antidote to everything. <333
