Consuela, would it help if you shipped your Paris clothes home before heading on to Africa? The initial luggage would be a lot, but things would get progressively lighter.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

I have one of those neck things, Consuela! It works pretty well - not perfect, but the best thing I've found for overnight flights. We are spending Christmas in Vienna this year, so I need to find mine!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sounds like a fun, if busy, trip, Consuela!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm having a holly jolly day -- brunch with a friend before flea/craft market shopping, where I mostly got a gift for myself, helped my mother put up lights, now resting before dinner with other friends and the Gay Men's Chorus concert.

Our neighbor across the street has had a dead deer hanging from a tree in their front yard since yesterday morning. Seeing as it's over 50 degrees outside, I hope they plan to do something with it before long.

Euw. The neighborhood dogs are going to go nuts.

Because books.
Why is it hanging from a tree?!

I dunno. Someone used a rope to hang it up there yesterday morning.

It's called bleeding, there should be a cut on it somewhere to let the blood finish draining.
edit: I was raised in hard core deerhunting territory. And it shouldn't be done in temperatures much above freezing. 50 is way too warm.
also done with game birds. One theory is you leave it hanging by the neck, and it's aged properly when the body detaches from the head and falls .

I don't think that will work with a deer carcass.
I pretty much lost yesterday to headache/napping, but today I got serious about Christmas shopping. Found stuff for my dad, my favorite cousin, best friend, best friend's wife, and one of two pseudo-nephews. I'm down to needing to buy 2 presents (one of them an assortment of snack foods for work friends), plus cards and wrapping paper.
Didn't ever feel like going to see Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, but maybe Tuesday or Wednesday night.
