OK! I have: done dishes, put in a load of laundry, and swapped mattresses. I'm sleeping on my grandmother's bed, and her mattress is "good," but I think it's too soft for me. We'll see how tonight goes with my old mattress on there.
Xander: Hey, Red. What you got in the basket, little girl? Buffy: Weapons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I need to Clean All The Things too, Jesse. Plus get the tree up so we look Christmasy. Wish me luck!
First step: coffee. Okay technically that's the second step since I took out the recycling while it brewed. Breakfast will be papas rellanas and cheese blintzes. Look at me, all multi-culti with the food!

We are making five kinds of cookies today. Made the dough for two last night do they could chill. Mmm.

Have ironed and hung (and/or rehung) more curtains, taken out recycling, cleaned the bathroom, showered, put away the laundry. Next I have to go out for a couple of Christmas things, but first lunch. Also hairdrying.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I should be cleaning. Or doing something productive with my unexpected day.
If you need a break, try this. Composer or Pasta? [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Last-minute shopping is done, I have to wrap this pile of presents now. And I think I'm coming down with a chest cold. Urgg. Just want to go back to bed.

Because books.
Wow, I only got 13 right. There is both a lot of pasta and a lot of composers I've never heard of.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm on the road to NJ. Stopped at Denny's for lunch. Route 80 is so boring.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Today is present wrapping and pie-dough making day, although both may be slightly hindered by my taking a chunk out of my thumb while slicing potatoes for a gratin. The cut's not deep, but it's bleeding like whoa.
In other news, something that is unexpectedly delicious is the latte that the local coffee shop makes with a brown sugar and rosemary syrup.
