It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Thanks, everyone.

We'll see how things go; with luck the antibiotics will make a difference. Now if he can only stop falling quite so much...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Baking-type people: I'm baking 2 pumpkin pies at once, which I've never done before. About how much time will I need to add for them to bake through? My recipe is the standard one where you bake them for 425 degrees for 15 minutes and then turn the temp down to 350 degrees for another 45 minutes. That's for 1 pie.

Maybe another 10 minutes on the end? (I know to test it with a toothpick, but I'm just trying to figure out how much time to allot in my schedule.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No idea, sorry.

I am exhausted from today already. Good thing I made my mother decline the post-church dinner invitation we got. Today: Have made cake but not yet frosted. Made several additional trips to the attic. Need to wash my mother's floor and other misc cleaning, cut veg for crudite, shower, frost cake, welcome family and enjoy at 1, choir at 4, then church then sit.

For tomorrow, my mother had invited her minister over for dinner, so we roped him into being our chauffeur for the day/gave him the opportunity to see my father. So that will be church in the morning, then to dad, then home. Not terrible as far as go-go-go.

Am a genius, and only bought one veg that needed cutting. So that's done.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Merry Christmas from Futureworld, all those as celebrate it! We did our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, because we can.

We are having the sort of Christmas Eve that began with a vomiting child at 1 am, continued to an overflowing toilet at 6:30 am, and at 8 am the discovery of a missing retainer that has probably gone down the toilet. Holly jolly?

Oh dear, flea. That sounds rather terrible.

We are last minute shopping and grocery shopping. For some reason I agreed to come with??

Oh no, flea! That's the suck.

I think I have done all of my to-do items other than shower. So that's good.

Just trapped my cat in the closet for the first time in my life. Check!
