I've got to adjust the bow up top. And I have some neat lights I've never used that I should dig out and put up. [link]

I've never done a tree because it didn't seem worth the effort. The sentiment was always based on my family's tree. But from now on, I'll have this tree and think of them and so it'll go up every year, in all its white & sparkly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Those are beautiful lights, sara!

Random person from high school who I friended on facebook against my better judgement (I don't really remember him, except he was a couple of years younger than me, played the trumpet behind me, and is now married a woman who was another one of my gay best friend's friends) has nw posted funny pictures which are offensive to me -- Barack Obama smoking with a caption about Newports which sounds racist, and a fat kid getting hit in the face with a basketball with the caption "no wonder you always get picked last, fatty") Grrrr!

Our wings are not tired.

Sophia, I've had the same thing happen.

I unfriend them immediately.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's like 15 degrees here. This is insane. How do people live like this?

I was halfway joking about hibernating, but it's looking better and better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The woman who lives in one of the ground floor apartments came up to me while Dylan was playing with the mailboxes in the lobby today and informed me that if he cries too loud, he could have a stroke.

This woman HAS. NO. FILTER.

(Dylan was perfectly happy at the time she said this, btw. He does protest pretty loudly about getting into his stroller in the mornings, and I'm sorry it has to happen outside her door, but it's not like it's the middle of the night OR lasts longer than the 5 minutes it takes DH to get out the door.)

My temperature widget thinks it's 27 degrees here, but at least I can comfort myself with the idea that it's not SUPPOSED to be this cold here. It's RECORD BREAKING cold here (it was 19 degrees this morning. That was record breaking!)

My temperature widget thinks it's raining, and that it will snow tomorrow. I believe it to be wrong on both counts.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sophia, if the blood thing comes up again at work, club soda works, or seltzer. So much easier to have casually on hand than peroxide, I think. I keep a sealed bottle in the car--change it out every few weeks. It works on wine and other stains too, if you get to it before they dry.

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

The Facebook guy who wanted to see pictures of me after seeing pics of my calves and feet in heels has messaged me to remind me he's waiting.

Do people not realise they're creepy, or do they just not care?

Ah, well. Enough Netflix mainlining for the nonce. Off for groceries and prescriptions and maybe Zankou's.

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

I would just like to point out that there was (what looked like) OMGWTFSNOW in SF this morning. (It was actually hail residue, but still!)
