He did come over and packed up at least one bag and cleaned his room including vacuuming. It most likely needs to be re-vacuumed, but that carpet is not long for this word anyway. I'm hoping we can move his stuff completely out tomorrow, and then the bed out Wednesday after work.

I packed 2.5 boxes tonight and pulled another few things to get rid of. I have a bag for the thrift store full, so I will take that and drop it off tomorrow on the way to work.

You're doing so much, msbelle, it's very impressive! Me, I did almost nothing today because my back is bothering me. A little laundry, some writing, lots of reading. And then my sister hosted a little birthday dinner with my nieces and their boyfriends, and I got bulgogi, Mac and cheese, and birthday cake. Plus a GC for 2 massages at my favorite p lace! That was nice.

Yay, massages! Happy birthday?

I had friends over for brunch and they got to meet my new roommate. And then we hung out and played Codenames and I made sugar cookies and icing and they decorated cookies. They were here for like six hours! And then we went to a different house to watch the new L Word. So far, so ridiculous. :)

Msbelle you are always impressive to me!

Aurelia- a sub in is a great idea! That's how I started there in 1994! And I love subbing in because it is a challenge. I am afraid it seems nutty to want to get back into things after I just left them, but I am a dresser who got pulled in to costume shop manager. I don't want to manage anything, but I loved dressing.

Happy Birthday Consuela!! 🎂

That sounds like a fun night meara (not meat or meats! Thanks autocorrect). How's the new roommate?

Mac is getting him s hair do be this morning. Last time for me the pay. He has a couple of bags packed to take over to his apartment when he's done.

Just need to keep moving forward.

Getting gifts for my parents is always hard. They seem to have everything they want. We usually go for things that are consumable.

I'm sick, I'm on call at work through Sunday night, I need to finish my Christmas shopping, and it looks like I'm getting a jury duty summons in the mail today which is exactly what I need right now.

That's a lot, shrift. I'm sorry.

Work is oppressing me as it usually does today. Just, you know, making me work. I am amused, though, to see an email from something called "info Channelgate". I imagine it's meant to evoke a gateway to information about some sort of channel, but every time I see it I just wonder what the new scandal is

So the cake I made the other day is way more delicious with the whipped cream frosting, and it held up incredibly well! Soft and delicious. I brought most of it to work, and it is now gone. So that's all good.

Also my two new staff members have started, and even though one of them doesn't know her job yet, I am already relaxed at the fact that I have enough people to delegate to again!

I will just open that goddamn jury service letter tonight and postpone immediately if they want me to serve in the next three weeks.
