Bags of hair and new fics

pineau_noirI work at a salon. Hence making Steve work at the Red Room Salon in my CapBB fic A Soft Place to Land that I was fortunate enough to collaborate with the magnificently talented Alby. I don't do hair. No one should ever let me near them with dye or shears. But I can keep up with inventory and manage the ins and outs of retail and supplies like a pro. I can also help clients book their appointments and though the inventory side is my favorite, I can run the front desk with a minimum of errors.
However yesterday I was tasked with taking the hair donations to the post office and mailing them off. My plan was to take it after my kids got on the bus and I went off to work. However I forgot the name of the charity we had decided on last week. So like a creeper, I've had four plastic baggies of human hair in my purse since yesterday. I got the name, I'm planning on making a PO run tomorrow during the boys' half day of school.
I also need to be writing. I'm currently working on three(ish) fics and published two in December. I need to work on my Spideypool Big Bang fic that will post February 7th. That's the only deadline I have at the moment. But I'm also working on a small town kid fic with Steve who is over-educated for his job and Bucky who is moving from NYC to a small town in Massachusetts after his brother dies and he and Becca take guardianship of their 7 year old niece. It's got Disney level of orphans in it. It should be cute and somewhat fluffy, my aesthetic, but there will be a few feels in there. The other fic is a pre-serum Steve and actual Winter Soldier Bucky soulmate fic. I have very little on it but I really like the idea. I'm also thinking a lot about my 2019 CapBB contribution but I have to finish the SPBB posting first.
My new fics were both written for a Captain America Secret Santa exchange on Tumblr. I've got a Steggy fic, The Holly and the Ivy and the Supersoldier Santa and a Stucky fic, What Are You Doing New Year's Eve. I'm happy with them both but the New Year's Eve fic was written in one day and is my new top WC at 4.6k, so I kinda love it more.
There's not a lot else going on with me, I've set a goal of 150k words written in 2019 so I'll probably whine a bit here and there. And my birthday is Saturday but it's not an exciting birthday and I have to work so, meh.
I never know how to end these things so, bye!
