It seems very unfair that I can't just spend my life lying on the couch watching TV. I realize that's not technically sustainable in the long term, but I could at least try.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I too am not feeling any love for the world. I don't feel Christmasy, we don't even have the tree up. My parents are stupidly hard to buy for and my brother suggested stopping presents all together. I have all this stuff I want to do, like chores need doing and fixit stuff and the decorating - just stuff in all categories - and then I also just want to sit and watch tv.
maybe if I put some stuff here I will shame myself.
Tonight I need to:
clean litter
deposit checks
pack up ebay things to ship
maybe find Holiday cards - or -
get tree out and assembled

I need to go over to Dad's place and put up Christmas decorations. But not tonight.
My office was pretty dead today, but there was a blood drive so I did a good thing.
Probably shouldn't have had two glasses of wine tonight, though.
Oh, and hey, I'm 50 yesterday. Which is weird. I don't feel half a century old.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy day after your birthday, 'Suela! I hope this is the start of a great decade for you.
Work is kicking my ass this week. Not quite to the point of tears but it was a near thing a few times today. I am thinking I will go straight to happy hour when I am done with the office tomorrow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday yesterday, Consuela.
My mood has been swinging rapidly from Fuck Everything And Its Horse to Life Is Good Look Birdies! for over a week now. I don't feel depressed but I'm still kinda acting depressed, what's up with that. And I really don't want to deal with the holidays. Next week I go on vacation, driving 8 hours both ways, to spend almost a week with my BFF and her teenage daughter, and lord, I don't want to. I want to see them, but I don't want to spend that much time away from my home and in someone else's. And my feet have been so swollen and numb and achy, I really don't want to go on a long drive. It will be utter misery if the doctor can't fix them. And then Christmas with my family, we'll only have one day that everyone's together, and I should be sad we don't have more time instead of feeling like why are we even bothering. Ugh. So not in the festive spirit. I guess I'll just get drunk a lot.

I've always wanted a fancy dress of Hubble images. I've got ones in mind. Not that I'm getting a Nobel ever or anything.

That dress is so cool!
Congrats Anne....
No news, ita? That sucks.
Okay, people, I have a gigantic favor to ask. If you have any college t-shirts floating around that might fight a sorta busty large woman and you want to get rid of them, I will happily take them. My school does college shirt day on Wednesdays which also makes college shirts a reason to wear jeans. I would love any and all colleges (because UCLA/USC is not mind opening enough). I'd love to get your old college shirts.

Yeah, Sara, since the designer was named Hubble I thought maybe it was going there...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My first design at the Goodman and my first design for Second City opened tonight. Woo!
Kat, school logos or anything college related? I probably have t-shirts for college organizations/events stashed somewhere.
My parents are stupidly hard to buy for
I've stopped buying things for my parents and get them tickets to concerts or plays instead. And I think my brother will get a movie theater gift certificate this year.
One grandfather served in Europe in WWII and saved pictures, letters, maps... all kinds of stuff. He was a company clerk (because he could type) so I doubt he was ever too close to the front lines. My other grandfather served in the Pacific. He never, ever, wanted to talk about it. He wouldn't even go into the WWII section of the Truman Library when we visited.
