I just realized that one of my non-Buffista online friends lives about half an hour from the church that a friend from college is a minister at. He is married to one of my dearest friends. I think college friend's church is the same denomination as online friend's church, which is actually further away than the town she lives in. I'm taking the chance on being thought weird by mentioning this coincidence to each of them. Some of the things I love about my dear friend from college are traits she has in common with online friend. It would be serendipity if they met and became friends. Naturally I will not divulge personal info without permission if they have not already bumped into each other.

Argh. I'm in an annoyed-at-the-world mood. Several news stories this week that hit a couple of my triggers, and I'm spending too much time arguing with people about them in blog comments when I know that doing it is just going to end up getting to me, but, well, they're being wrong on the internet, and, argh. I need to stop reading that stuff.

Maybe I'll watch TV. Anyone who's seen the latest Supernatural episode (I think it's the latest -- the one that comes after "Girls Girls Girls"): is there anything in there that would set off sexual assault-related triggers? Some episodes of that show have had stuff, and I can usually handle it, but not tonight.

Actually, forget Supernatural. I'll watch A Charlie Brown Christmas.

edit: or maybe not, since Amazon won't load any videos.

Ended up with Queer as Folk, which might not be the best idea.

edit: OK, no, bad idea.

Boo hiss, Amazon. Cuteness is a fine cure for the stress of people being wrong on the internet.

Aparently I am the only person who works for this outfit who is willing to come to social events for all the group homes without being paid for it. Big social services non-profit that bought out the small company that used to run these homes has a policy of "no specific holiday parties" for multiple locations. Bosslady that used to run the smaller company every year hosted a delightful Christmas party for all the homes, to which everyone was invited - residents' families, all off-duty employees and their families. She hired a band, so there was singing and dancing. A great time was had by all, for decade. Then bosslady retired and sold the homes to the big outfit. People really missed the big Christmas party. They tried a few different ways of doing something - like having the houses host one or two others for a holiday gathering, that just wasn't the same. Last year they decided to try having a Chili Cook-off in December. See? not a Christmas party, so it honors the company's diversity policy. But it fills the need for a gathering of the larger group at this time of year. It's fun. (Not as purely delightful as former Bosslady's party, but it's way better than not trying. All the houses came to the cook-off tonight. I got to see all the people I serve, and a number of others I have gotten to know at other events. I also got to hang out with some coworkers I don't get to see very often. I feel sad for the morale of my coworkers in general that no one else wants to come to these things unless they absolutely have to.

Maybe they didn't realize it would be ok to come...

I'm watching Peter Pan. It's terrible, but snarking is fun.

If I can get someone to buy me a gift card and pay them back I could use that.

Typo, I am a Costco member and would be happy to do so. Profile addy good. Their prescription prices really are impressive.

My eyes see best with the mono vision contacts. Near and far, it is all good. Alas, my eyes seem weepy lately and I haven't been wearing them. I am switching between 2 pair of glasses, but the distance to my office monitors is going to force me to buy a 3rd pair because it is just too far away for my near glasses. Boo. I can hardly wait to have 3 pair on chains around my neck. Hope to get back in contacts again, or maybe find the courage for surgery. That seems unlikely.

I promise I only posted once!

I didn't sleep. Woke up early and checked out the snow. Not much of it but it's mostly ice the huge tall as trees hedges were bent over nearmy in half. One on my car. I got the space behind my car shoveled and the snow knocked off the hedge on to my car.

Will might be coming over but I don't know also nit sure I can get his spot shoveled out.

I need to find someone who can come over in the mornings and shovel me out. Not sure how to do find someone. I should have down some shoveling while it was snowing last night.
