The fact that Edward Gorey was a Buffy fan gives me a huge happy.
Nonian, please be careful! That's scary and off-putting.
Tomorrow, I jump into a frozen Wisconsin lake for charity. The team's raised nearly $1000.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
sj, thanks. Marked. I'm hitting CA stores first; then I'll tackle the other 49.

JZ, if you guys can put your hands on a humidifier, that's been helping over here, along with elevating the top of HKF's mattress a little by putting a blanket underneath. All our love and hugs to Miss M, from the land of congestion and the neverending cold.

I thought that might be the case, but I couldn't resist the urge to pimp that store. I used to live just down the street and I loved it. Plus they have delicious ice cream.

G amazingly does not have a cold to share with me this week, and he almost always does. He has asthma and just gets sick all the time.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hoping Liese and her SO got to a safe, snug, warm, power-and-heat-having hotel and she hasn't popped in to say hi because she's still fast asleep.
I was! I totally slept in. I have no idea how the dog didn't jump out of his skin waiting for me to get up, but we are now up, and have had a nice romp in the snow, where we met another (unleashed!) but clearly trained and in the sight of his owner at all times slightly smaller than the Biscuit dog. And we made friends! And then had more romping.
And I missed hotel breakfast, boo, but I have leftover Arby's. So we're chillaxing until it gets a little warmer, then we'll have our buddy pick us up. Hopefully we'll be able to start at least one of the vehicles and figure out what's going on with the heat. At least the power's back, that's one of the four things dealt with.

Ooh, and hotel internet access tells me that if you guys are waffling about the soda machine, Penney's has it on sale right now with this dealnews coupon code.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In all politeness, fuck you, Liese, for forcing my hand.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Shit, I don't even care about fizzy water, but now I want to buy that!
But really, I just want to buy stuff. What I should do first is BRING BACK the Christmas stuff (a) I bought for other people and decided against giving them, and (b) I received that doesn't fit/I'll never wear.
