I am hoping that some of the local churches have holiday bake sale type things going on tomorrow because I really don't want to make cookies, but I want to be able to give some to neighbors. Seems like that should be possible.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Oh, anyone help with age-appropriate books for a three year old? I have n idea what awesome picture books there are out there these days. I figure I'll get her some books and a stuffed animal or something...

meara, anything by Mo Willems. "We Are In A Book" and "There Is A Bird On Your Head" are particular favorites of mine from the Elephant and Piggie series.

Oh, and "Press Here" and "Mix It Up" by Henri something are great interactive read-aloud books.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a fun book. And Sandra Boyton books are really fun. She has regular books and then there are books of songs iwth cds, fun and silly songs that are done by musicians like Alison Krause, the Bacon brothers, Weird Al and others.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have so much paperwork and tests to do before my side is over. I was supposed to get it all done Friday, but dilaudid day. I did most of it this morning at 4--all that remains is the direct deposit slips (would be easier if I kept them together somewhere) and the urine test. So today is experimenting peeing on demand.
And! I have lunch scheduled Monday in Culver City with JonRog at a place "he has the run of" so that'll be nice to do. Even if Colin can't make it.

Damn you, Belk department store people. Belk is using Little Drummer Boy in a commercial.

I'm still LDB-free. I take pride in playing NPR when I have Uber passengers. I suppose I could set up my iPod to play classic Jazz only, just to mix it up.

I have avoided the LDB, which surprises me, because I've been in malls and supermarkets and doctors' offices and such all playing Christmas music. I was in a restaurant last night, and the servers were bitching about the Christmas music. Apparently a customer came in and said "It's December 1st! Why don't you have Christmas music playing! Where is your manager!"
I'm exhausted today--I suspect my thyroid, but it may just be expected low-level depression--but I do feel proud of my big girl panties, doctor-wise. Now I have to learn how to not yell at myself for not being farther in reclaiming the house to a level I like as well as staying on top of basic housekeeping. Homes are a lot of work, yo.
