Oh, computer, why do you claim that it will take 4.5 hours to unzip this file? I'm so confused. Edit: Oh, because I made a stupid mistake. That makes sense.
Sorry, smonster. Everything always seems to happen at once.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Our wings are not tired.
{smonster} wish you were closer. Any that can make the drive are welcome here for t'day. I am cooking. I wasn't going to, but I like to cook, so I will.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh smonster. Hang in there, friend.

I will be working this Thanksgiving again, but that's always nice and dead. I had wanted it off, but I didn't say anything, and the bosses may have thought I wanted to work it the way I did the last couple of years. Ah well. I wouldn't be doing anything, anyway.
Last night I was finally in a place where I could put some TV on--thanks for the Elementary rec!--and pull out my knitting without feeling guilty. But now I need to buy a vacuum and get all the box outlines out of the carpet. I dislike plush carpet, it always looks like crap if you actually use it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Feeling a little better. Listening to Extra Hot Great is helping. Thanks, everyone. Laura, that's very kind, but I don't think my car is up for that kind of drive any more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
One of the things I did on Saturday with my parents was order our Thanksgiving takeout from Whole Foods. We're doing a turkey this year. Dad is not even pretending that they are just getting it for me, he wants turkey. But mushroom gravy and vegan pumpkin pie, etc. And we are registered for the Nitro Turkey run that morning (and the Quarry Turkey run on Saturday to get the bonus medal). So those plans are made.

smonster - there is always a place at my table and a spot on the snuggle couch for you.
Not wearing eye make-up for 2 weeks is going to drive me NUTS. Even when I don't put on make-up, I always just do a bit of eye liner. My face looks so incomplete without my glasses and without any eye liner. I know - first world whine.

Lots of love to you, smonster, as always. I wish everything wasn't piling on.
