Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

This too shall pass.

Oh my, I'm so sorry that so many are having end of year sadness.

Quick recovery wishes for smonster's sister and Burrell's MIL.

{{Connie}} I am so sorry for your loss.

Nora, so much comfort and strength to you and your friends. What a horror.

Welcome back to Ginger and Shir.

"You can't control how you feel, you can only control how you act. Judging feelings is a waste of energy."

I will have to try and remember that and not waste energy for feeling like a bad mom for resenting my son for sucking so much joy out of life. Blah. Can't he just be 30 already?

{{Teppy, Tim, & puppy}} I hate when I have to leave Brandy for exactly this reason.

Caretaker can be a shit ass role, Steph. Especially when you haven't really signed up for it. It's needed, and it's rewarding, and it's a good thing. But it also sometimes sucks balls, and there no reason at all you shouldn't say so.

{{{Teppy}}} I'm sorry you have had such a difficult year. I hope 2011 is much better for you.

I'm watching OMWF while baking for the party tomorrow. I should be cleaning too.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I cleaned the bathrooms and changed the sheets. Heaven.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

My dad had rotator cuff surgery, and I was, as usual, his caretaker, because he will never, EVER call anyone else.

I empathise, Teppy. I'm alone this NYE because The Girl was summoned to be with her parents when her brothers buggered off skiing. Wishing you a better 2011, and many healing vibes for the dog.

Oh, Steph. God dammit. You've got ton of my ~mas.

And thanks, everyone. It's good to be back. But I think I'll update when it'll be more quiet around here. For now, I do hope 2011 will show you nothing but its finest, and I hope y'all had a good Christmas.

Art Crawl!!!

Teppy, it does suck to be the lone caretaker. The fact that it sucks and you feel it doesn't mean that you're not a good daughter.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I wish the dog would stop fussing so I could let her out of the cage but she keeps starting up again every time I get ready to let her out. (She was caged for attempting to climb onto the kitchen table to get at the clementines.) If I let her out while she's fussing, she learns that fussing works.

Can you 'treat' her when she's quiet until she stays quiet and then let her out?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ooh that's a good idea. I'll try that next time. This time another housemate let her out.
