Oh, no

While putting up my tree yesterday, I found out one of my strings of antique flower lights no longer works! I didn't check all lines first because the first one lit up fine and I got overconfident. If I'd known in advance, I would have placed my one working line of flower lights on the tree differently. I have two that no longer light up.

I love my flower lights!

Is anyone doing the December posting meme? Is anyone interested in asking me questions for it?

Oh, no!

Oof, my day has escaped me! Hopefully yours has been more under control, haha.

I'm gasping for love

Dec. 9th, 2025 06:32 am[syndicated profile] viridian5_feed
I haven't gone on any trips to take night photos of Christmas/holiday window displays yet because the nights when I'm available and up to go, it's been bitterly cold, and I need to partially remove parts of my right glove to take photos. (Those gloves with the fingertips that claim to let you use your touchscreen have yet to work properly for me when using my iPhone for shooting photos.) That kind of cold makes my hands hurt, especially the bare fingers. Also, if it's too cold my smartphone slows down, including its camera program.

The monthly premium for my Medicare prescription plan rose from $36 a month in 2025 to $100 a month for 2026, so I switched away from Humana to Cigna. Cigna claims to be monthly premium-free but doesn't cover every single prescription of mine; the one it doesn't cover I barely use. It'll probably be fine, but I still can't help worrying I might've made a mistake in switching. If so, it'll take a while to find out.

My head has been killing me lately, which has gotten in the way of me doing a lot of things.

I posted a first chapter of my current Encanto WIP to AO3. If you're interested:

A Long, Long Way to Go (2611 words) by Viridian5
Chapters: 1/?
Fandom: Encanto (2021)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Mirabel Madrigal, Bruno Madrigal, "Abuela" Alma Madrigal, Pepa Madrigal, Félix Madrigal, Residents of Encanto Village (Disney), Luisa Madrigal

Summary:

This vision ends up revealing more than just the future.

(Or, the Madrigal family's new foundation is built on sand....)
