I'm sorry, Zen.
It's been lovely reading about all of your holiday festivities. Thanksgiving was my first day off in a couple of weeks, as usual, so I enjoyed a quiet day on my own. I was fighting a migraine so I slept a lot, but I rallied enough to make a sweet potato-carrot-red lentil soup and some sauteed kale. I'll have soup for days.
I'm sorry, Zen.
I'm super-thankful for all of you. Buffistas have been my people from the first moment I landed here, and I'm so grateful for the love and support. I hope that I've given you half as much as you've given me.
Also, what Maria said. I'm so grateful for all of you.
Thanks, all.
And, what Maria said.
I just had a fairly depressing conversation with my sister. From the outside, my family looks like we've got it all together. But man, are we dysfunctional.
{{Buffistas}} I am unpacking decorations and lights and stuff and drenched with sweat. Like dripping all over. It's 84 out, but very breezy. I'm in the house with AC. Going to start setting up outside where maybe the wind will help. I have a bunch of stuff that was my Mom's, so lots of warm memories and smiles unpacking it.
It's 84 out, but very breezy.
Meanwhile, my mother and I are going to go for a walk, because it's warmed all the way up into the 40s!
My condolences, Zen.
I'd planned to go in to the office and work this afternoon, but between a late start, striking out at the only two places I'd pick up lunch on that side of town, and general don't wanna-ness I'm scrapping that plan and relaxing instead. Maybe I'll go in tomorrow if I'm more motivated, maybe I'll just rush a bit more next week.
Timelies all!
Things I never imagined I'd say, part whatever: S, get your hand out of the tribble!
I thought I got a decently early start, but realized belatedly that somehow my watch was set an hour earlier than reality. So I was not ahead of the game at all. Oh well. Had pie for breakfast. Ordered more coffee filters because I had to French press. Doing laundry. Roommate is out of town. Now if I could just find a friend who wants to hang out or go to the movies...
