I need to start putting Christmas presents in my luggage so I can see how much room I have left for clothes. Any minute now. I'll get started on that.

I cannot imagine rewatching Broadchurch 4 times. Yikes.

So many finales.

The sick hit hard. I think I've been awake a total of 4 hours since getting home last night around midnight. I have a doctor's appointment at 7:30 am, not for the current ick, but maybe she can help me with this too.

Tomorrow night is the ARP holiday party. It is a potluck and we are supposed to bring a main dish to serve 8-10 folks. I'm trying to decide between a big pot of chili or some sweet bbq meatballs. Both I can talk K-Bug or CJ how to make so I don't add germs to the food. I wish I could get out of going, but for various reasons I need to go and put on a strong front.

I haven't wrapped a thing for the kids, that will be my goal for the weekend. One of ladies I work with in Salt Lake (on both that project and the big projects I have out of California) gave me a fancy Teavana tea brewer/travel mug thing. And some fancy non-Teavana tea. I have used both today and LOVE them beyond reason. I took her some whiskey balls and some local bumbleberry jam. I don't typically gift give at work, but she has been a mentor and I truely didn't expect anything from her but I'm glad I took goodies.

My biggest move will be 4+k to Hawaii (almost matched by OH to Stockholm, but that was only for a month, so I'm not sure it counts) I'm pretty sure my total mileage at this point is pretty impressive.

I have the sinus ick, which has led to the cough and the unable to sing.

We do not say aboot!

You don't say "sore-y" either, right?

I cannot imagine rewatching Broadchurch 4 times. Yikes.

Yep. Four fucking times. In about a month. I was getting irrationally picky about the details there.

This is why I do not write fic.

Well, one of the reasons. Possibly the major one.

Strix, I am EE-ta. Pronounced the Spanish way, for easiest memory--senorita minus senor.

Oh, good. I was right, except for hitting the T a little emphatically.

I got stuff done today,despite the GRR ARGH that seems to be hitting a lot of people. Finished holdays cards, bought my in-law's gifts, spent some time with a girlfriend, finished the section of the MSS I am copyediting.

And did laundry, the dishes, and shoveled, swept and salted the walk, porch and half the driveway.

And now I having having a glass of Prosecco.

Well, one of the reasons. Possibly the major one.

I should really just offer movie canons each year. Much simpler. Or sitcoms. Dramas take too long.

Laundry and nails done. Punted on packing, that'll take 10 minutes.

I am sleepy and need to go to bed, but am currently ensconced on the couch with a cat on my lap. I see no way of resolving this situation to everyone's satisfaction.
