Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, you should adopt the New York tradition of the bagel coat, ie a coat long enough that you can run out to get the bagels on Sunday morning without getting dressed.

Ha! Love it. Most of my inside clothes aren't that bad, and would be fine with a coat and shoes, but the Christmas-patterned pjs and fuzzy slippers are a little much. I will be That Lady on the street!

I was afraid it would be icy and hard to get to the airport today, but apparently it was all just a scare tactic. No ice.

I am off work today! It was -2.5 and still dropping when we woke up this morning, and as a result, the tires are unhappy. It's possible they're fine, but they did not improve with the first half-hour of commute, so we turned around before we left civilization. The SO dropped me off home and headed out to the tire shop. The dog and I are curled up in front of the woodstove.

I have reconciled some work charges and taken some orders, but most importantly I have ordered Christmas flowers for people. YAY!

My grandmother is not doing well and is praying for God to take her, like multiple times last night. We all just hope she remains not in pain and passes peacefully. This may be a rough Christmas. She is 100 and has had a good long life and like I said is not in pain (more than the normal she is 100 pain). Everyone knows she is ready and no one in the family wants her to struggle anymore. still.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Still.

Oh, that's sad, msbelle; even if she's not in pain, it's hard on the family. Peace to you all.

We are getting a truly awesome orange & purple sunrise.

I saw that on the train. Unforunately it gave way to a whole mess of white stuff. At least it doesn't seem to be accumulating.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Still. My best wishes for your grandmother and your family, msbelle.
