I didn't do much today. But I did go to Target and spend the obligatory $100, including some for me and some for my sister's foster kid. Christmas shopping is getting close to done...
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Bummer given that I don't have *that many* vices, not enough to just go losing one of them.
I feel you, Burrell. I had to give up on red wine, and through trial and error learned that it's best if I stick to Vinho Verde or Pinot Grigio with white. I keep thinking about making a spreadsheet to track my adventures in things I can't consume anymore.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
But Burrell, it's so much fun to consume wine with you. I shall be bereft if we can't anymore.
aurelia, I fat fingered something on facebook and accidently unfriended you. Please accept the friend request, and my apology. I'm not sure if you use fb messenger so I'm reaching out here as well.

I was up adulting and insomning for 34 hours yesterday(s) -- the photographer was coming at 11:30 to take pix of the house, and I did hours of houework and decluttering, and edited, and worked out...went to the eye doc and got SEXAY NEW CAT'S EYE GLASSES and fell asleep ON MY COMPUTER at 7.
Dan discovered me and led me to bed, where I slept till 4:30, sans sleep drugs.
More adulting today, but I'm not tired!

I'm feeling the stress monster today. I have a one final to give and two christmas parties plus a girl scout award ceremony today. I also need to issue grades for the 1 class that is taking the final.
BLARGH.

I have a phone interview for a position in NH about which I'm kinda ambivalent. Eh, it's interview experience, anyway. And maybe they're awesome and want to hire me. That would be a nice combo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We were supposed to out for a fancy team lunch today, but now one-quarter of our team can't go! I'm afraid the restaurant is going to charge me to cancel the reservation at this point, too. Bah.
Edit: They were lovely, it was no problem. I'm guessing they don't have an issue filling tables this week....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I did decide I needed to get the Serial notebooks for both my cousins -- I mean, we had a conference call at Thanksgiving to discuss! My newborn baby cousin listened to it in her first day or so of life!
