Too funny! I don't know if I'll be able to break free from family, but will let you know!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The First Christmas after a loss is a fine time to totally break up tradition and habit by travel or other means. When my dad passed, we did not go anywhere, but rather than getting the old fake tree and family ornaments down from the attic. We bought a real tree, and all new ornaments. (the next year, we both old and new ornaments on the old tree.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Spend money on women, movies, and booze?
I spent money on coffee, books, and women (in that all the books are by women and some will be gifts for women). Is that salacious enough to offend Grassley?
It turns out that a snowy Monday evening is an excellent time to avoid holiday shopping crowds.

After my mom passed, the kids and I spent Christmas Eve with my dad and then flew down to Disneyland on Christmas for a few days. It was the break we needed.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jilli, we have an instant pot that we use constantly. It is the best thing. Potroast, chili, soups in general, curry...Ours also does yogurt, so I've been making yogurt on the regular.
It's possibly a bit of a cult, so, you know, plenty of recipes out there.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I was greeted at the back door this morning by one of the alley cats with all the skin and flesh from his lower law peeled off—at first I thought the whole jaw had been ripped away. Thankfully he's the one alley cat friendly enough to tolerate being picked up and put in my car for an emergency vet visit. Apparently he's otherwise OK and this is something they can theoretically fix with surgery, but man did it look horrifying.
The nurse at the vet's was really trying to sell me on taking him home after surgery, but I'd have adopted him months ago if adding another cat to my living situation were feasible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I decided to take a sick day today. I feel guilty about it because I don't feel that bad, but I've missed out on two fun things the last couple of days because I didn't feel well enough for them so I figure I'm due. And getting another couple of hours of sleep this morning has been amazing.
