I defaulted on my Yuletide story. Worse, I did so past the no-fault default deadline. For some reason I had it fixed in my head that the deadline was December 22, and I was going to get it done by December 21. I was away on vacation with essentially no Internet for the least week and a half, and missed all the warnings.

I believe that the next step is to finish the story (bears and all) and upload it as a New Year's Resolution, which will redeem me for next year.

But DAMN. I love Yuletide, and I hate this kind of screw-up. This is much worse than the year that I missed signing up in time.

Also, I came back from vacation with a cold. I've been taking my temperature every couple of hours, and it's now up to 100.4, having risen gradually from 99.0. I should take some aspirin instead of charting my fever, but it's a weird sort of obsession that tends to happen to me when I have fever brain.

I thought I would do my signup for Yuletide after I finished the part of the project I've been working on pretty much all weekend. And when I did, I discovered that I'd misremembered closing time and it was already too late (confirmed by

elynross).

So no Yuletide story for me this year, though of course I'll get to read everyone else's, which is a major part of the whole thing anyways.

But still, dammit. Serves me right for procrastinating.
