I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

We actually had no problem finding parking at the mall (we lucked out and someone as leaving right as we got there), and had no problem finding parking at Trader Joe's. So now my hair is beachy blonde again and we have all the TJs yumminess we need for the holidays.

And it's freaking 58 degrees here. SO WEIRD.

Walked to the Ace and back. Still fidgety. So I went back out and walked briskly around the track for about 45 minutes, which is probably a little over 3 miles. It helped.

I just went to the mall to mail my secret Buffista Santa package and there was no line! It's a Christmas miracle. The fact that we've had about 5-6 inches of snow since this afternoon may have something to do with it. Then I had to shovel before it started raining. Now I just have to clean most of my house and finish packing. Ahhhhh!

I-29 from Kansas City to parts north was backed up 30 miles last night. People were sitting basically still for 9 hours.

M was supposed to arrive at 10 tonight from Philly, but the airline realllly didn't want an unaccompanied minor flying...and we really didnt want to drive north to the airport at 9 pm. It's really bad here already, and snow is pouring down over the ice. It's 10 degrees and still dropping.

He's coming in tomorrow morning, and I'm so relieved.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Turns out, I am Amelia Bedelia -- my mother had made a list for me, which included cutting branches off the bottom of the Christmas tree and also decorating it. I checked off "trim" after cutting the branches off, which was not correct! That was "branch."

BTW, Theo, I emailed you a question about today but still have the same question in general.

Really?? I think I've only ever had one facial, maybe it was a terrible one? I didn't understand what made it awesome?

I'm with you. Facials are the worst.

Never had a facial. I have a massage every 3 weeks though.

The facial I had was just straight relaxing. My massages are like PT.
