*yawn*  
So my weekend was a little... strange to say the least! I had a list of things I needed to get done and none of them happened. The ficlets and graphics I am doing for people were all supposed to be done by today at the latest but the twelve hour nap I took on Saturday kinda made that impossible. (Honestly, I lay down at 8pm for a quick nap and woke up at 8:30am Sunday.) Plus I got all my sister's shopping done but very little of my own, so I'm taking Thursday afternoon off so that I'm not actually hitting the shops on Christmas Eve 'cause that would kinda suck really! Still no clue what certain people are getting from me this year, I hate buying for awkward people - they don't like jewlery, they only wear one outfit most of the time so clothes are out, they don't watch films more than once so DVDs are out - same with music, they don't like getting things for the house so cookery stuff is out. Basically I'm flummoxed.

And I've deleted most of my userpics. The ones I have left are the ones I either can't live without or am going to adapt a little. All of my fic icons are gone - that's temporary, they weren't up to my new higher standards so I'm re-making them. Or will be in all this copious spare time I have! So now I'm on the look out for new icons. Not necessarily fandom related, in fact I think it's probably about time I had some non-fandom icons! - so, any suggestions?

Now, I guess I should be working really... ah well, back to the grindstone it is then.

ETA Well you could knock me down with a feather! The one person in the library who could give me a run for my money in the 'off sick for no reason' stakes has just walked in. He's been off for... is it three weeks now? and no one expected to see him again in 2005!

How about general writing or iconing icons...? They might come in useful.

As for the awkwards... it's possibly a bit of of a cop-out... but vouchers... that way they can get what they want.

The specific people I'm having trouble with are the kind who, if I got them vouchers, would say "Oh, thanks." in that tone of voice that says "Gee, ta."

Christmas is just designed to make life difficult isn't it? [livejournal.com profile] nemo_gravis has the right idea - writing something for those closest to him. It's unique, it's personal, it's something I wish I'd thought of... *g*

I feel like shaking up my Userpics as well...

Sorry I've not been around much. How're you? How's the new baby? Are you going to be around on Tuesday or Wednesday anytime so we could maybe chat?
