Ugh, it's been a day. If you're in Britain, you've probably heard vaguely about the wind sitch here and maybe seen some pretty scary pictures. West and Central Scotland is getting the brunt of it. This is the first time I've been sent home for inclement weather that wasn't snow or extreme cold. It's a bit odd.

It did happen to be a bit fortunate as nearly the whole office was hungover or completely wiped from the Christmas* party last night. Yes, it was on a Wednesday. Yes, I left early because after two rather nasty wasted weekends, I've learned that trying to keep pace with Scots is foolhardy at best, especially when you're a medication lightweight.

But now I've just had a weird day, and my IBS has been flaring up and I just am not in the mood for much internets, including RP stuff. I fail at queering the shit out of steampunk London.

By the way, if you are so inclined, there is a love meme being run by

littlebutfierce. I plan on hitting it up giving love later or tomorrow. Yes.

* Yes, I recognise that in the US, 'happy holidays' is an ineffectual panacea to hide the dominant cultural paradigm, but the Christmas EVERYWHERE thing in Britain still feels so very wrong to me.

That photo of the wind turbine BURSTING INTO FLAMES OMG.

I hope you feel better soon. :/

& yeah, haha, I think every year we will probably say something like this to each other. (Though I think at least in the NYC area sometimes "Happy Holidays" means something, even if it's just "okay, Judaism as Christianity's plus-one" -- I don't think it means nothing that public buildings have both a Christmas tree & a menorah in lots of cases, even if it's still not the ideal state.)

Huh, as a Jew, my impression of NYC was Christianity was the plus 1.

I remember the winds most of all! Was v. worried about all of you & glad you are safe. Hoping the weather returns to its usual hallo am raining on you.

(also love meme! just what we need)
