Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've been at work for over an hour now.

“Not dead yet!”

I passed out a 10:45, woke up at 1:00, thought "oh hell no" went back to sleep and didn't wake up until 8:30.

Poor Lewis had to wake up at 5:00 so he could be at his store by 7:00-- beats last year when he had wake up at 4:00-- he's also a very good manager. He stopped by Hardee's on the way in to pick up fresh biscuits to bring in for everyone, plus he bought five twelve packs of sodas to keep on hand and mid-afternoon he's planning on ordering pizza for the staff.

I, on the other hand, am facing beseeching stars from the munchkins who desperately want, nay NEED, to go to Barnes and Noble.

Should I?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Took today off. We head to Darkover con this afternoon. Should be low-key.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The only reason I'm not being booked for murder as we speak is because I turned in early and got 9 hours of sleep before my empty-headed, possibly deaf neighbor decided that cackling loudly in the hallway outside my door at 6 on a holiday morning would be a good idea.

Woman, you owe your life to triptophan.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm at work today. The day after Thanksgiving is one of the few days in the year when I look forward to the commute. (Others -- the week between Christmas and New Year's, the week before Labor Day.) I-66 isn't backed up!

Plus, there's a good chance things will close early.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Glad to hear from Sue.

Am also at work, although I just took a mid-morning break to go see a model train display with mac and the grandparents. Then mac got his picture taken with Wonder Woman and Flash.

I would like to crank through some work today, just not so sure it will happen.

Came to verbal blows with my dad last night and I called him out for literally huffing and stomping like a toddler, he looked ridic and honestly this was a long time coming. Old man needs some serious mirroring or his behavior.

I wasn't going to spend any money today (bah on Black Friday), but I have a hair appointment to get my roots done. However I shall start the day with a long walk in the woods with my sister and our dogs. Yay for four-day weekends!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am so glad we took the weekend off. I had all these big plans for what I was going to do, but I'm totally going to laze around and do what I want to. It's been a long time coming, so I think I'm going to just enjoy it.

No Black Friday shopping, but I will probably vicariously surf a few sites.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanksgiving was pretty good.

Catching up on the news now, and just saw that five hostages were confirmed dead at the Chabad house in Mumbai.
