Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I need to institute the "leave the house once a day" rule.

I'm trying to watch the debate but I'm hopped up on goofballs and falling asleep.

Actually I don't know what goofballs are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not bad with setting habits for myself, but they have to be pretty rigid.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

My coworker's husband has a full-time WFH job, and she was telling me he's basically become a hermit. I would not function well in that environment.

Got to spend time socializing with coworkers at a women's leadership function, and missed the opportunity to meet someone who was the first openly-gay member of the US military, and who stood next to Obama when he signed the order that revoked DADT.

Now I'm heating up some tasty mac&cheese and watching S1 of ST:DSC. Which I like more than I expected to.

I believe in you msbelle! You *will* leave the house tomorrow!

Oh, god, why did Ichoose such a complicated meal? Phase 1 (steweing the lamb in the pressure cooker) is done, just started phase 2 (adding barley) and then ethere's phase 3 to get through (steaming the asparagua, which will be short but NOT NOTHING). I am so hungry. I was not nearly this hungry when I started.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Twitter says Warren is killing it.

Msbelle, my assignment for you tomorrow: take a couple hrs & go down to Canton waterfront park to go see the Harbor. It'll be chilly, but it'll take you down near Fells & Patterson Park if you're feeling ambitious (feel like Mexican? Cocina Luchadoras.) There's also a Target/Harris Teeter/Nordstrom Rack/etc nearby if you want to combine errands. Maybe take a water taxi.

I'd also suggest BMA, but a trek down to the harbor would honestly lend more geographic contrast.

I'll just keep suggesting things-can't let you get as housebound as I've been this winter....

Phew! Finished my great Disneyland adventure. Which was just me going to Disneyland for two days. Still, I was there for 13 hours yesterday and 8 hours today. And I got to ride Rise of the Resistance, even though I was in group 157.

Woo, Disneyland!

The status is NOT quo.

So awesome, Dana! I'm bummed we missed you this time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Thanks for the wishes! The day was lovely, I got a toast with Glenmorangie, and the cold supper was superb. I've developed rather an antipathy to food lately, and cooking seems a part of that. So non-hot food is good. Especially when the food is good regardless.

I'm hearing WSJ and NYT simply decided not to mention Warren in their poll results. Can I blow them up now?

Oh, and Fiona! Hi! And hi to my birthday twin, B!
