This is exactly how my last five minutes went.

[apocalypsos]

Me: *wakes up two minutes before cell phone alarm goes off* BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.
Otis: *pokes me with paw* Mama, get up. Mama, get up. MAMA --
Me: ARBLGARBLgimmeaminuteARBLGARBL. *picks up netbook, checks LJ*
Otis: *pokepokepoke*
Me: Knock it off, you, I'll get to you in a -- HOMIGOD YULETIDE MADNESS IS OPEN?! *bolts out of bed, feeds cat, puts a cup of water into the microwave for tea, has two hours to write the stories she didn't have the mental energy to work on last night*

EDIT: Damn it, why can't I call in sick with Yuletide? I have THINGS TO WRITE OMIGOD.

I just spent, like, an HOUR looking through prompts. AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO WRITE ANYTHING. :(

I was only depressed because I have to work today and I can only write stocking stuffers for fandoms I know I can do without refreshing myself on the source material. Which stinks, because there are some seriously tempting ones to be had if I had the time today to tackle the movies and TV shows and whatnot they're from.

I've written three treats so far, andI want to call in sick to Family Christmas Insanity so I can do more YM! But that would not go over well.

I'm crossing my fingers that they'll send us home early from work due to lack of call volume (it's Christmas Eve, for heaven's sake -- who's going to call a prescription drug insurance plan today?) but I'm not holding my breath. *sigh*

Oh, I hope they do!
Is it bad that I'm kind of hoping the blizzard that's hitting now postpones all the family stuff? Because then I could just be all Yuletide, all the time today and tomorrow. Except...oooo...my power is flickering. This is not of the good, in terms of getting things posted. Yikes!
