We're having dinner early, so my grandmother doesn't miss too much of the Pats/Ravens game.

Oh, so I guess I'd better go!

I measured 15 people today.

My work has a "walk like a penguin" campaign to keep us from falling when we walk to our cars. It is very strange!

Walking like a penguin is very energy efficient!

Heh. A Sydney library responds to the Lance Armstrong revelations: [link]

expensive stuff - for me - some elctronics and i spend money on tea , cheese, food ,etc. Shoes i spend money on - I have a few inexpensive pairs, but I really feel that shoes are a waste if I can't walk a mile in them . Matt has instruments, of cours. Even a cheap place can give me a decent haircut - but a good hair cut can grow out for a year .

yesterday , I did a bunch. today I have done very little. I think I am going to go empty the raised bed. Despite 3 weeks of freeze ( which is very odd) Planting season for some veggies is usually around now - I think it might be february this year

I am organizing and cleaning things in my office, I cleaned part of the upstairs bathroom.

I will be wrestling on the duvet cover, folding and putting way clothes and dusting/polishing.

Not going to get to paint hallway trim today. Eh,whatev. D's feeling under the weather. It's either the flu or the bourbon flu; he hung out with the guys while my girlfriends andI had Girly Craftsmas (secret santa with handmade crafts and lots of booze and food.)

If it's bourbon flu, I"m glad he had a few drinks hanging with the guys, and loosened up.

I went to a social media conference today. It was free. Then I went for a walk at lunch and discovered it was such a beautiful day that I played hooky from the afternoon sessions. I took the ferry across the harbour and walked home. Then I did a load of laundry so I would have clean sheets for my house guest tomorrow. So a lovely day, if not entirely productive.

I went to dim sum with roomie and her friend, and then went home for a nap while they explore. Now meeting a friend for coffee. But annoyed that my eyes were not working well earlier...not sure if it was my eyes, a hangover, or a migraine. Hoping the middle one (but on all of two drinks??? Ugh)

That does sound lovely! It's a nice day here too. The Biscuit & I ran to the little store for some snacks and 9 volt batteries, and then it was so nice we went to the lake to walk around. Only maybe I wasn't supposed to, because first the lake manager rolled up, sat there a minute, and then left. (Just in time to see the dog do his business, but left before he could see me go back to the car for the bag to clean it up. But I swear I did!) And then in about five minutes a sheriff rolled up, sat there a minute, and then left. I waved this time, because, not doing anything wrong. But still felt unsettled. It was really pretty, though.

Jess, I love when you clear off something like that. It was Buffistas who taught me to look for the invisible places. So now I know I have a lot of work to do, heh. But it really is nice when you can see it again and it's all pretty and clear. I put a new lamp, a photo of us, and a little triple candleholder on top of our dresser, and suddenly it stopped being an invisible hotspot.

Aurelia, you should totally do that show. It sounds really neat!

I am stumped by my current studio issue, but am going to stop with it for the moment and try to knock out more of the housecleaning. I got a reprieve of sorts because the SO is not coming home tomorrow as planned, but Tuesday. But I miss him and am ready for him to come home! But maybe I can make it a nice home to come to. Assuming I stop watching football at some point.
