Rising through the air.
Today was, in a real sense, the last day of the estate management gig. I went back to the house to drop off the key and say goodbye to the clients, and when I got there, because movers were clearing out the furniture, nobody minded that I came inside to see how different it looked, and when the clients showed me how much better the basement was, I hung around just long enough to say I didn't have anywhere I needed to go that afternoon and wouldn't mind hanging around to help a bit. So in exchange for about an hour and a half of shelving books, breaking down boxes, hauling stuff up and down stairs, and locating useful objects, I got a formal goodbye on very good terms.
I also got paid in the form of all the tea left in the kitchen. I'd joked to one of the clients that I was reading Down and Out in Paris and London so getting paid in tea was in line with that. It wasn't a cup of tea, though; it was all the teabags they had around, plus some instant coffee and a few hot chocolate packets. It's a pretty decent haul, too: a lot of black, plenty of herbal, some green tossed in there. Enough for what I'd thought would be a couple months of work, and plenty to drink by myself wherever I'm drinking it.
Which brings me to my next item.

In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
My new, modest goal is to aim to drink at least two pots of tea a day until I've worked my way through what I now have in my apartment.
