These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I had a pretty awful respiratory thing in mid- late-November and it seemed to pass on its own but now I have weird throat phlegm and keep losing my voice. It's weird. I don't feel uncomfortable or sick, just this one thing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I haven't been sick with a cold in three or four years either, and this year I have a weird lingering thing. Its driving me nuts!

My chair just got delivered to the office! I anticipate lots of swearing tonight after dinner, but hopefully I'll have it assembled and be seated comfortably before bedtime.

I also have a lingering cold. Ugh.

Eta I hope shrift is sleeping.

I was, but the earthquake woke me up. And then my shuttle never showed up, so I stood in the rain for half an hour and I'm probably going to be late to my class.

Our wings are not tired.

but the earthquake woke me up.

Words I have never spoken.

It was a "Wait, is that an earthquake?" and not a "JESUS CHRIST EARTHQUAKE."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's good, at least!

This Christmas-on-the-weekend thing is really bumming me out. Like, when am I going to do anything to prepare? I just got a bee in my bonnet about making cretons (french-canadian pork spread) and maybe giving it to family members, but no. The weekend prior is my mother's big party, so that will take up that whole weekend. Oy vey. (Which I thought was a French expression as a child because I only heard it from my Memere!) I guess I can make it after Christmas and just keep it for me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I just realized that's something I can do after work if I want to. Problem solved!

Hah, yeah, I think I'm lying to myself about how much time is left until Christmas and what needs to be done before then. This weekend I'm hitting a couple craft markets and going to an ugly sweater party (sans sweater) and a holiday revue. So maybe that'll up the ante!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm doing pretty well on gifts except for my mother. Oy, my mother.
