If there were a toxic level of potatoes
(hand up) Man, I miss potatoes. Baked, garlic mashed, twice baked, tots...sigh. 'Taters, man.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds awesome, meara. Also those cookies, lisah! Also non-drafty windows, Jess.
I feel like a talk about it all the time, but HGTV really is the most diverse channel on TV: I assume these two guys are a couple (I just turned it on) and they are middle-aged and nerdy, and an interracial couple. They would literally never be on any scripted entertainment.

Oh, the other thing I'm doing is figuring out some things to do in San Juan when we're there next weekend! Hoping it's sunny enough that we will mostly be hanging out at the beach but I want some rainy day backup plan.

The windows are consistently rattling here with the wind. I suppose this would be a good day to take out the AC unit, especially while my roommate is here to dial 911 if anything untoward occurred.

I have grocery shopped! And planned out with my mom what e still need that I couldn't find or forgot to get so we are ready for our holiday meals. Now I need to get my turkey stock started, since I will need that for the stuffing, which I hope to have made today so it's ready for the Tuesday potluck.
I went to Safeway because work gave us Safeway gift cards as a little holiday bonus, but then I forgot to use the gift card when I checked out. Oh well, not like I'll never need more groceries.
That sounds so fun, meara! I love that y'all played laser tag (blazer tag?) as part of it.

JFC. It's not even worth getting into the specifics, but I have fucking NO SYMPATHY for my mother right now. So aggravated. And yet? Heading over there now. Because apparently no one but me will actually make sure the apartment is cleared before I move in. (And that is not even what I am aggravated about! I mean, it's one part.)

Sorry, Jesse, whatever the actual aggravation is about.
Stock is simmering on a back burner. Gonna set for a bit before starting the cranberry sauce.

Oh, I should make cranberry sauce today. Except that would mean getting dressed and leaving the house, because I don't have any cranberries.
I could make dinner rolls, though, and freeze them...

I'm sorry, Jesse.
It's in the mid-30s (F) here. I hauled out a favorite sweater and my winter coat, and did my usual weekend running about. And I walked the cat for a bit. When I'm properly dressed for it I quite like cold, sunny walks.
