Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thrive to spite them
Thanks billytea.
Jesse jackhammering that early is evil. They'll at least be in the special hell.

Stomach still hates me. Plus I either have a fever or just woke up to early and my thermostat is off. I can't really tell which and I can't find the damn thermometer, but taking this opportunity (hah) to call in sick and move the vet appointment for Devi up to this morning instead of this afternoon. Meh.

I've been trying to find a list of all major and minor religious holy days that are celebrated in December.
I'm surprised this isn't a Wikipedia page. They love lists like that.
Speaking of which, can a fellow Buffista Jew confirm for me that Hannukah has NOT started yet? Every calendar I can find says the first night is Dec 8th, but I keep seeing electric menorahs in shop windows with one candle already lit!! Am I going crazy??

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Rabbi Google also told me the 8th.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
We just had to go through this issue while working out the attending schedule a couple of weeks ago, so even without Rabbi Google I know it's the 8th, and the one-candle-already-lighters are severely wrong.

Whew! I was worried my kids were going to be expecting presents tonight. (Well, the 5 year-old anyway. Who would then prep the almost-2 year-old.)

Well, it not starting until the 8th is no guarantee of him not expecting presents tonight anyway... God knows my 6-year-old expects presents all the time for no reason whatever. But, yeah, mistimed expectations of an actual official holiday, with a bonus wound-up present-expecting toddler, would truly suck.

Awww, this Buzzfeed post makes me miss visiting the Zmayhem. I kept scrolling down, waiting for it to show up, and it finally did. (#10 is a long-standing tag across the street from the Zmayhem residence).
