Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Would anyone be into facetime/gchat onerous tasking? Or non-onerous but boring? I need someone to chat with but also keep me on task, as I do things like organize my books or clothes, and was thinking maybe else would need that too, and we could do it with the power of the interwebs, instead of having to trade off coming over and hanging out?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I can't do it today, meara, but I'd definitely be interested another time.

Sure thing, Hil--it's something I always could use. :)

For real. Also, we need some official onerous task days again.

Among the many lessons that Doctor Who has taught us: Christmas decorations are trying to kill you. Santas, angels, trees, carols, all of it: wants you dead.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think tomorrow is my onerous task day. It's the only day "off" I have before I leave town for Christmas.

I'm all sorts of out of sorts. Elbow hurts from the stupid fall (bruise is more noticeable now,) my thigh from...I don't know. The bruise is where I nailed the corner of the bedframe, but that shouldn't make the whole thigh this angry (pushing off hurts) and now the general acheyness from shoveling action. For the record, there is 5.5" of snow on the deck, after some pellets and rainy mist. So probably closer to 6" initially. Wild for a first snowfall of the season.
And I still have that stupid maybe-sick patch in my nose/throat making me nuts. Am I sick or aren't I?
But I did make another batch of cookies and may have hit upon exactly the right proportions. I have to basically double the flour to account for the booze, even once I've reduced it in the pan with the melting butter (that's a good nasal-passages clear-er: fireball whiskey and fumes!) but they turned out quite acceptably. Have to let them chill before I sample to make sure the bourbon cinnamon taste is acceptably strong.
