Still sick here but better. Trying to ignore 2016 in hopes it will get bored & knock this off.
Msbelle you are such a good mom. I'm so sorry for the stress. Consuela - all the hugs.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

I'm sorry, Consuela.
My sister, BiL, and I drove from MI to upstate NY on Christmas Day to my niece and nephew-in-law's new to them parsonage. It's a lovely old building with gorgeous woodwork and surprisingly good insulation. They just have to do a few cosmetic things to make it their home. Since the nephew is a former barista there's excellent coffee on hand. So I'm sitting in a cozy house with family and cats and coffee, listening to a cold wind outside and knowing I can stay here with the company and wifi all day if I choose. Pretty much perfect.

I have to go to work today, but it snowed all weekend, and I'm worried about the roads on the observed holiday. I doubt the road crews are as diligent as the guys who deal with my apartment complex. It's only the last eighth of a mile of steep hill in front of my office building that's bad

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We did our traditional Xmas movie day. Had 12 people at breakfast at the diner. Then we saw Rogue One, Fences and ended with La La Land. A wonderful day!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday, Somervillains!

Happy birthday, Jesse and Theodosia!
I am at the airport. My flight to Chicago has been delayed 45 minutes. I have plenty of buffer time at O'Hare to make my connection to San Francisco, so I'm not going to curse out United just yet.

The status is NOT quo.
Much love, 'Suela. I'm sorry it's so hard.

pretty lazy day here. so many things I could do and THEN THEY'D BE DONE, but paralyzed by laziness and frustration.
I think I will go through mac's books and take a trip to half price books. It is the easiest way to get something out of the house and get money.
cleaning and yardwork and going through papers will wait.
