I'm just glad that shady guy was more interested in scamming her out of money than getting his violence on.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Just woke up, and like Scola and Ginger, I was going to get up early and go out to mail presents and buy some other presents.
Oh well.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah, I was getting up early and doing my shopping before the weather came in. Um, yeah.
I'm heading out momentarily.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I slept to nine, which is way late for me, and am now breakfasting on delicious Diet Dr. Pepper and graham crackers. I threw our first load of laundry in, so I feel a tiny smidge virtuous.
Speaking of laundry, how do you do yours? We make three loads and do it all in one day. I have enough underwear to last maybe a week and a half, and we do have a set of back-up sheets, but we almost never go longer than a week, because that's when we change the bed. We also put all the clothes away on laundry day--mostly so the cats wont A. shed, B. sleep or C vomit on them--or some combination thereof.

While I'm waiting to finish my juice, I do laundry every 2 weeks. Usually 2 loads, sometimes 3 (mainly in the winter with all those bulky sweaters.) It gets put away as soon as it is done.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I thought about going out and doing Christmas shopping and then remembered I basically live on the moon and there isn't anyplace decent to go. Before the weekend is over I'll surf the web and find what I need online.
It's hard to have any holiday spirit when it's 83 degrees outside.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm from Jamaica. I'm finding LA ungodly cold right now. My sister has offered to come out and spend Christmas with me, and I know she'll whine up a storm. We're used to playing on the beach Christmas day, and given, oh, Bethlehem's location even my atheistic self is perfectly copacetic with it.
I actually really dislike seeing warm weather places with cold weather decorations, but I'm extremely grinchy when it comes to Christmas stuff that's not religious.
Which makes little sense, I realise, but there I go.
I never do laundry enough. That's just how it goes. Mostly I'm driven by krav clothes--I'll need to do another load of hard colours before Wednesday, because that's when I'll run out and have to teach. Actually, maybe Monday. How irritating.
When I get irritated enough to do everything I usually load up the car and go down the street with everything that will be tumbledried and just do eight or nine loads and fold till my arms drop off. Then come home and do the delicates and bright colours.
I hate laundry. Doing it in small increments is obviously sensible, but would require me to put away the previous loads in anything resembling a timely manner. And I so don't. And then there's ironing....basically I'm never done.
