Happy Christmas morning (well, it is hereabouts)! I woke up at gawd awful am and, as I'm sharing my niece's bedroom, crept downstairs to sneeze and snort without waking her. Besides, her room, while a fine example of a teenager's bedroom (and shared with no complaints, at least in my hearing), is sadly lacking in coffee. It's now about 7:30 here, still full dark outside, and the only light is the Christmas tree. Very atmospheric.
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

Merry Christmas!
I'm about to dress and head out to my sister's. Was supposed to go last night but too sleepy. Also, I thought it was a two hour trip, but it's more like three.
Everyone enjoy the day!

Separately, all good thoughts your mom's way (and your family and you, too), Epic.

Epic, I hope there was no major damage from your mom's heart attack.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Epic, I hope things turn around quickly.
Insomnia again. At least this time I can take more sleep meds in the middle of the night. And now I'm poking at very slugging Intarwebs. Yuletide fic, maybe.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Merry Christmas, Buffistas!
(If you don't celebrate Christmas, have a merry one anyway. It's a long weekend, people!)
I'm waiting for my parents to get here so we can go for some dim sum. I want DUMPLINGS.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Mom~ma to you Epic. That sounds scary!
Happy Christmas to celebrating Buffistas! I have to say that my best present so far is the memoryfoam mattress topper I got myself. I woke up with almost no pain and I slept almost straight through the night (I had to get up at 3 am to pee)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And there's my earworm for the day! Fortunately, it's a pretty good one as earworms go (though my very favorite Gabba earworms are still "Lovely Love My Family" and "All My Friends Are Different").
Merry Christmas to you, Noah and Gracie, K, Lori, and everyone else who loves and adores N and G!
In other Gabba news, my homemade Gooble/Skooble doll is getting way closer to done than I'd thought possible, due to insomnia striking at 3:30 (I stayed in bed anyway until 4:30, then gave up). I love crafting and wish I had the time and energy to do more; it's just boggling to look at this thing that's already a recognizable Gabba character but three days ago was a pile of muslin and blanketing, a bag of fluff, and three spools of thread.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Morning, all. Merry Christmas!
My brother made sticky buns with butterscotch gooey stuff that has bourbon in it. Can't wait for some of that yummy.
Much ma to your family, Epic.
