EOY Lists

The year-end has crept up on me. In the last quarter, in spite of a lot of things sort of internally exploding in my head, I've come out of it with a new running habit, and that's pretty incredible. I'm running 3 times a week, and even if it hasn't immediately shown in mental health improvements that I can see at close range, I know it's doing things. My stamina, both physical and – more importantly – mental, has gone up. I can listen to the voice that says I ought to do things better than just bare minimum a little bit more often.

I'm mulling over a year in review post, but a fandom to do list until then includes:

* Postcards to fandom friends. If you'd like one, DM me your address.
* Chocolate Box tagset app
* Yuletide recs post
* Friending meme
* Year-end meme

Not quite RL list:

* Knitting cleanup and review
* Running review
* Reading review

Maybe RL things:

* A year of medical and talk therapy review – might be interesting to those of you reading who have brain bits that don't cooperate. I'll do this under an flist filter; ping me if you're interested.

Hopefully everyone's having a decent end of year themselves.

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
