"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

All of our weather traveled east this year.

Suzi, it was a genuine "bomb threat" if a note that says the bomb will go off at 12:00 PM unless they can find it sounds real.

I just got the twins out of having to do dioramas! Grace has surgery on Tuesday and I pulled the sick kid card in order to get a chance for them to do picture books instead.

Ugh. We have been landed but not at a gate for over 30 minutes now. Blah.

Spent a nice evening with K-Bug and CJ. He even let her ask questions about homework. It is a Christmas miracle.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Egad people, stay safe from the floods!

How weird that it can be so hot and dry here and so very very wet elsewhere.

I am truly bad at 2048, I've never had higher than a 100something block.

meara, are you stuck at LAX because of the computers going out?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I guess I got all the plane luck, even if we were 40 minutes late -- I had three hours warning on that, so I left late, and breezed through security. When I landed, my checked bag was the SECOND on the belt, which has never happened.

Clearly I'm making up for all the not-flying I've been doing.

Burrell, I think that may have contributed--we landed a bit early but I think they were still a bit backed up with other flights leaving late and thus not vacating the gate.

Someone convince my half-asleep mind in the morning that I MUST get up and work out, and no matter how important extra sleep seems, it really isn't, and I really don't need it? (Given I'm in bed am going to read a bit then sleep, I should have 8 hours before the alarm goes off....but sleepy morning me is so likely to go "no, NEED more sleep!")

Getting up and working out is usually the better choice.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Rivers here are very very high, but I haven't heard of roads or homes being flooded...and hopefully won't be; it seems the worst of it has passed us. My house is surrounded by a drainage ditch that becomes a moat when the rain is heavy, and the leak in my roof finally got fixed for realz (knock wood), so I'm okay, but man, this has been three days of serious rain and thunder. Scary at times. Right now, I'm selfishly concerned that the weather doesn't delay my flight.

I am at the stage of packing where I know what's going in the suitcase, but it isn't in there yet. I need to sleep, not sure if I can, though. Glad I didn't take an early morning flight this time.
