My mother TODAY tells me that she really likes the lavender candle I got her last year. #1, I wish I'd known this earlier. #2, I have no idea where I bought the fucking thing.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Hahaha, braising yes. Sorry to disappoint, Tep. I'll work on how braiding might work for next time...
Hooray renewed license! Sorry about the hot water tank, I hope you can find a cheaper solution.
Yowza, meara, good luck with all that.
I have one thing I need to get done today (empty my trunk so I have room to transport my parents' luggage to the train station tomorrow) but staying with the cat under the comforter is so nice. Baby It's Cold Outside could be rewritten to be about me not wanting to get out of bed very easily.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I did go to work today, but left around 2.(So did the others who went in today) Tomorrow we fly down to Florida for a few days. Tonight we pack.

Ok, I have put on outside pants and shoes, once my kindle is sufficiently charged I'm going to take myself out to lunch and then come home and do the thing before coming back inside. That should work.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
So we've got heat but no hot water for a couple days, which seems survivable. Bad timing, with a midweek holiday that has businesses shutting down halfway through the day, and then two days until the weekend. At least it should be enough time to get estimates and a handle on the alternatives.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
sorry for food and work stress to all having it.
ATROPA! bad back - NO BISCUITS! - I hope you get feeling better soon.
Sadly for us, the meet and greet with foster dog Miley was a no go. Aggressiveness on all sides (which we have never seen from her and she has meet many dogs). It was 4 hours with driving and visiting, so pretty much ate up my day. Had lunch at McDonalds, actually forgot it was the Eve.
It is so weird not doing anything for Christmas.Well I do have Eve service to go to tonight and since I didn't make cookies last night, maybe I will tonight.
5 new boxes packed today thus far and a new pile of books to go to the library.

There was not nearly as much junk in my trunk as I thought.
Note, I could only ever mean that literally.
Anyway, hoping the gas station is open tomorrow and I can get the coin op vacuum thingy to work.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Ken put the old address on the package with our presents in it; happily, it's about 100 feet away (you should have seen us moving house in August of last year, our neighbours were so amused), and Marina had it. Also a lot of commentary on construction and maintenance of the condo - come to find out they did NOT disclose that the master bath had to be gutted to the floor joists and rebuilt because of a leak in the shower pan.
I did not say "I have LOTS of photos of the process" and am wondering if I should volunteer that information . . . .
More cards arrived today! dcp, thank you so very much; amych, I was tearing up over what you wrote. Thank you.
