Ended up with insomnia last night (probably the cup of decaf with dinner) so slept until noon today, whereupon I had pecan pie for breakfast/lunch, wandered out to get a few more ingredients for turkey tetrazzini, and now am feeling futless and unsure of what to do. I mean, three days of football, yes. Bonus hockey today, yes. But as far as what to actually do? No idea. I should probably do some weeding post-rain. And I do have plenty of actual work I could be doing if I decided to do work. Or I could do household tidying which seems to be what the SO wants to do. He's out gathering firewood right now, which feels happy and appropriate.

But I dunno. All I'm actually doing is lying around and listening to hockey. Which is a reasonable choice, I suppose.

I am totally Typhoid Mary at work today. I started sneezing and having a crazy runny nose at 8am (after I got here.) In my defense I have been basically bathing in hand sanitizer.

I think the difference between the guy on the plane and the woman is that he knows he's an asshole.

I am one with flea. I was LOLing at the Tweets until he proceeded to up the ante for cheap internet validation. Yeah, she was a whiny self-centered jerk, but if someone was sending me notes saying "Eat a dick" twice on a plane, I'd bitch my fucking head off, especially if airline attendents were facilitating the notes.

If you're going to harass a stranger on a plane, even a very unpleasant one, with sexually threatening words, have the fucking nads to stand up and do it to her face. So the whole plane can see what assholes you BOTH are. WTF is this, 5th grade?

Live-tweet, by all means. But I've seen posts congratulating this smug jackass all day, and those notes went over the line.

well my day did not go as planned and no idea why I am surprised, but am and am pouty.

My friend who was going to come over and help me decorate had to work all day. I went by to help her and stayed for 2 hours, but she was still not done. I went by my parents' house to let their dog out midday and I got their tree down from the attic, because at 70 the do not need to be dealing with that.

So now at home, have a full plate of left overs and no decorating has been done.

I think I should just focus on getting the tree up and worry with outside stuff tomorrow since the sun is halfway set already.

Bah, I just wanted it all done today.

I have a date in about an hour. I repeat, a date. I'm kinda flipping out and am trying not to nervous myself into an anxiety attack. We have been talking online for a few weeks and we get along great. But I get no spark from his pictures, so who knows. I haven't dated in YEARS. Eeeeeep.

I hope you have fun, SuziQ.

Good luck, Suzi!

msbelle, my mother started a new thing, semi by necessity, where she does some of the decorating every weekend, and now she likes it, because the season builds up.

OK. I think it's two more boxes for the kitchen, one for the bathroom, and one of misc. Not bad! I've been remarkably calm about this whole thing, and am only really over it now. So I'm going to have dinner.

I want to have a Christmas tree SO MUCH this year, but I don't know if the kittens of chaos are ready to experience one yet. We haven't put one up since we got them two years ago; Vlad is enormous and not only capable of knocking over chairs, but apparently thinks it's the best game ever.

Get a tree, Jilli! Now is the time!
