I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Our wings are not tired.

waves to Tom Yes, I am at the office today. It was voluntarily since I told everyone else to take the day off. It is nice and quiet. The phone has not rung even once. The idea was to get stuff done, but I have been mostly goofing off. Also, DH is sick and avoiding his germs and bad moodiness seemed a good plan.

I have the dog with me. They are testing the fire alarm system in the building today and a dude came by to give me fair warning. He was concerned about the dog's ears so he turned down the volume on the 2 horns in our office. (I have heard it before and there is no missing that noise) That was really sweet of him to do. He said it will only go off once.

My SIL is working too.

Startled the old dog last night and got a nip for my carelessness ( she can't see or hear well and gets edgy around food, which she can still smell. And of course the whole house smelled of food, so...) Bruising is the worst of it, but thus ends my streak of being the only adult never nipped by her.

There were nerf gun battles (who knew my mom was such a good shot?) and booze and that dumb as shit movie that pissed off NK last night. Good times.

And a lot of asparagus. I can still smell it on me, ack.

Happy birthdays, Theo & Jesse & Rayne!

Happy birthday Jesse and theo!

Apparently three year olds LOVE "what does the fox say". She kept going "again!!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw. There was an elderly dog at our Christmas dinner last night, and the poor thing was a little freaked out at times. But also napped some, as you do.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday Theo!
Happy Birthday Rayne!
Happy Birthday Jesse!

So far, the most passed around present this year? History of Farting!

I know my audience.

Hippo birdies, birthday twins Jesse and Rayne!

Hanging with the family today, catching the last bit of connectivity that I can. I have no plans but hanging with the fambly, so that's good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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

Many happy returns, Theo, Rayne, Jesse!
