Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Another round of dishes and two more loads of laundry underway.

Decided to skip wrapping presents and just mail them as is. Packages ready to go to Texas and Oregon, although I don't think I will get them mailed until Tuesday.

Watching Alpha House in between doing stuff, now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have all of the ingredients for bacon-potato chip-chocolate chip cookies, but none of the motivation to bake them. Perhaps if I clap my hands enough times some helpful fairies will come do it for me?

Those sound amazing. I would make them just to find out how amazing they are.

Correction, watching The Librarians in between doing stuff. Animals are all fed and inside (oh, wait, rabbits could use a treat still, but they are inside), All the laundry I plan on doing today is in the dryer or already put away, and pork chops are sizzling on the stove. Not bad, self, not bad at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like the only thing better than those ingredients on their own would be as cookies!

Ugh, I should have done laundry, but will not be doing it now. Ah well. I'm sure I have five pairs of clean underwear.

I am so sorry, Juliana.

I have peanut butter kiss cookie failure. Well, the results are edible but the cookie is very flat which doesn't normall happen. These will end up being house cookies while the ginger cookies, the multichip Toll House cookies, and whiskey balls will be gifted around.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Juliana. It certainly seems that there is a Buffista kitty party going on in the hereafter than seems mighty inviting to our pets.

(note, I had to add Buffista to my dictionary on this machine, and the suggestion was fisticuffs)

Mmmmm, reading of all this cookie making is lovely. In particular the SuziQ cookies since I remember all too well being gifted those treasures.

Hubby was a big softie when it comes to kitties, so he'll happily provide skritches.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sue, juliana, so sorry for your feline losses.

Is there knotting?

The other night I had a dream in which I killed someone. I was a spy scouting for safe houses, and he was forcing his way into the apartment. I grabbed a gun and fired point blank at him, but it wasn't loaded (damned revolvers, what is their upside again?), and when that didn't work, just beat the shit out of him, including a lot of overkill, no pun intended (it was a broad downstroke into the join between neck and shoulder with which I finished him off).

Normally my anxiety dreams take the form of "Oh, no! I can't hit them hard enough to end the fight!" (they used to be "I can't drive but I need this car!" and then, once I'd learnt how to drive, "The brake line is cut and the car is out of control!"

Really odd. Do you guys have specific anxiety dream templates? What are they? I don't think I've ever dreamt the "I'm in school naked and can't find the upcoming Spanish test!" standard.

Unrelatedly, I had no idea this is the last episode of White Collar coming up next, nor that the Colbert Report is wrapping up shortly.
