I have been to the store and purchased wine that I will bring to a New Year's Eve party. Now I need to make chili and freeze most of it so I'll have something to eat when I get back, and pack my bag.
Getting out of bed is the first step.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Somehow I managed to get a paper cut on the outside of my left little fingertip today. I put a band-aid around it, but it still stings.
I'm trying to send out my Christmas thank-you notes. Typing the addresses to print on the labels is not supposed to be more painful than composing the notes themselves.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I refer to Ethan as either "Ethan" or "my husband" at work, depending on who I'm talking to and whether or not they'll know that "Ethan" refers to my husband. (Though I also frequently come thisclose to saying "DH" out loud.)

And wow, this hotel has the slowest internet in the world. I think they may have hooked up their wifi routers to a dial-up modem...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
For example, google.com has a cache lifetime of only three minutes. This allows it to recover from failure quicker; if a host goes down, the bad address won't get stuck in other people's DNS caches for very long.
Aha! Thank you, Tom Scola.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I refer to people by their relationship to me unless the person I'm talking to has met them, or insists I use their name. Or I'm making a point.
Of course, my parents are named Mummy and Daddy. In certain circumstances they become "your father" or "your husband." Or even "your problem."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Phew! msbelle has lifted my freakish status.
so I tend to default to "partner." Which makes me feel like a business partner.
Before DH and I got engaged, he told me that he needed to put me on some form and decided to call me his "life partner" since he had already determined that, in one form or another, I would be a part of the rest of his life.
I love him.
Aaaaand I can hear that he and the kids have come back from their walk. Time to get dinner on the table.

Huh. I refer to Pete by his name, or by The Husband. He doesn't call me The Wife that I know of, tho'. No, I'm The Goth Girl. We also call each other sweetie, love, and other assorted ridiculous affectionate things.
T.J. Maxx did not have any Betsey Johnson hosiery that I coveted. But they did have other cute knee socks, so I'm happy.
