Matt, thank you for helping that sweet muffin of cat.
Having spent 8 Christmases living alone and far away from family when I lived in Arizona, I learned that I enjoyed the peace of just me and the cats plus a few phone calls to loved ones.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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.

but I still get regularly clobbered by melancholy this time of year. It just comes out of nowhere and I'll have a really rough day or patch of days.
Whoo, yeah, right there with you.

Glad those cats have you looking out for them, Matt.
It looks like I'm not getting out of the office anytime soon tonight. No swim. I kinda knew this would happen, though, so I was mentally girded.
I'm usually in a foulish mood most of December. Mostly the weather and timecrunch and stuff. I'm not a holiday person.

I'm sure the annual work timecrunch doesn't help my mood, either. I don't know why we always have a big release in late January.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good work, Matt. And not just because kitty looks like our Coco.

My current irony - when I suggest this, it's a warning sign of depression or something. But the same people who object to my chilling out at home also have yet to issue alternate invites.

Yeah, the number of things scheduled "by the end of the year" is irksome, especially when my boss is out all next week, so I have to cover plus do my own stuff and everyone else has waited to the last minute to submit, of course.

And all the HR paperwork to re-up for things comes in a clump at the end of the year, and you often have to get hold of your doctor, who has already made plans to skip the state with his family for the holidays.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The art project at Mr. S's nursery school yesterday was a "menorah" made from two rulers painted and glued together, with painted clothespins for candle holders. Alas, there is glitter on the clothespins. He has taken it apart, so there is glitter all over the place. sigh...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YAY GLITTER!!
My cable box has apparently died, which is super annoying! Especially because I don't think I can really call them, as I am on my mother's account, so I guess she has to do it? And/or go to the cable store and get a new one. Because lord knows I don't have time to kill with the fucking cable company.

Ugh, super-annoying, Jesse! Good luck!
