Calli, that is odd. Both the fridge and the sleep barking.

Sometimes I can't decide if I'm regular anxious or overly anxious and this morning is a perfect example. The kids have their Christmas program at school this morning and I'm sitting here worried about whether I will get a seat or not. I've always gotten a seat in previous years; I have no idea why this stresses me out so much.

So, I saw the Slutcracker last night, which was way more ballet and less burlesque than I was expecting! Many people were en pointe. Several people were twerking and/or shaking their nipple tassels while en pointe!

Good times. Friday!

I am glad I went yesterday, but man. So she is just in bed and sleeping 90% of the time. Not able to sit up on her own and can only kinda open one eye. Already hard of hearing you have get down by her face to talk into her ear so she knows who is there. She is clear on her children, but I am not convinced she fully got who I or my dad were. That is not important to me, she believes that we are her people and she is happy to let us rub her arms and feet and keep her comfortable. She did clearly and adamantly ask where her son was. That's my uncle who is a bit of a turd. I think emotionally stunted may be a good partial explanation of him. Anyway, he had been unwilling to commit to coming down, he lives in CO in the mountains. Well, we put my dad on the phone with him (dad hunts with him every year and has the best relationship with him out of the whole family) and dad got him to commit, he should be coming down in 1-2 days, so here in 3-4.

I'm glad you were able to visit.

I really regressed last night both sinuses and lungs trying to annoy me to death, and up in the middle of the night because I needed dosing so badly.

I really can't drive 5 hours on this much cough medicine & et cetera. Feh.

When Burrell was closer to a kitten in age and behavior she'd confiscate Cody's jacket and go nuts with it, kneading it and purring

This sounds extremely weird, like you're talking about yourself in third person using cat pronouns or something. (I went to a party once where we were asked to wear nametags and include preferred pronoun, and some people decided to be ridiculous and choose "kitten pronouns!" or "unicorn pronouns!")

Jesse, I am jealous, that Slutcracker sounds amazing!

Oh msbelle, I'm sorry that this can be so hard.

He will just lick his bed, over and over and over and over and over, like it's his job and he's gunning for overtime.

HA! This is like simple dog from hyperbole and a half. Our dog will also lick himself like that causing hotspots.

I left my non sunglasses in the car. Which means I have to walk back down 3 flights of stairs and then back up. Blargh.

Oh msbelle, I am glad you got to see her.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I thought it was just OK.

A former coworker just emailed me some sort of basic work questions -- she's trying to expand her areas of expertise more into mine. I am happy to answer her questions, but I just remembered..... I applied for a job at their national HQ and didn't get it! She should ask the person they hired instead of me, if that person is so great! Sheesh. (Ultimately, it is just as well I didn't get that job, but still.)

Christmas shopping online at work, my favorite way to spend a morning. Oh I am, also doing work, just slower than necessary.

It is supposed to rain, it keeps raining all around us according to online weather. It would be nice for it to rain a bit. That might cancel my work for tomorrow.

I'm glad you were able to have a visit, msbelle.

Chez sara, we are waiting on EVERYTHING. Plumbers to arrive, IT to finish installing something, Pumpkin to make up her mind about where she wants to sleep...

The work fairy always takes a crap on my desk the moment I've decided that I really need to stop putting off doing a thing.
