I am at work, but only for a half-day. Then to friend's for dinner. Tomorrow, movies all day OF COURSE.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My mother missed her connection in Philly. It was her fault, mostly, but she is PISSY about it. I hope she gets over it by the time she gets here.
I have successfully baked a genoise and glued together the Bag End gingerbread house (= THE MOST STRESSFUL PART OF XMAS).
I have pants. I even put them on! Over my fleece-lined leggings, because it is hella cold.
I also forgot a charging cord (in part because I thought the thing was more charged than it apparently was). Am annoyed at self, since it is not an easily replaceable one like my phone or something would be.
And I am out of internet.
I want Christmas Ham! And drinking with the Mercer fam!
I got an email this morning letting me know that I didn't get the job in The Hague. Merry Fucking Christmas.
Now I have to go and be social with my family. Ugh.
I'm sorry Sue. The timing on that is certainly an odd decision on someone's part.
OK, I've had coffee, now I'm going to be productive. Step One - feed the birds, because I can hear them out there and they sound hungry. And Walter really wants to go hang out in the front yard, so why not accommodate that while I can?
My sister and niece are decorating the tree while I sit here with a dachshund on my butt. This is acceptable to all.
If you're sitting, wouldn't the dachshund be UNDER your butt?
I'm curled up on my side, the dachshund is cuddled up between my butt and my knees. She is warm.
CJ and I are headed to see Frozen soon (if he gets off his ass and puts his shoes on). Tomorrow we have three Christmas shifts. 9ish will be CJ, KCD, B, and me. Noonish is CJ, K-Bug, and me. Then 3:30ish my friend K and her son B are joining CJ and I for whatever I put together for dinner.
