I've been trying to do stuff with my sister but keep using the wrong word or not being able to explain where something is or not being able to find it. Like she was fixing something and I was like "yes, I do have a headlamp! ...somewhere. Not there. Or there. Or here. Or, hmmm..."

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I got today off for the GHWB funeral too. I would rather have had the 2% raise and 25% increase in locality pay that the Senate was going to give us and 45 has refused. I didn't do much with it: I vacuumed, started my holiday letter, and went to see Ralph Breaks the Internet, which was fun.
But I'm sick with a cold and I want wonton soup. Must lever myself off the couch and walk around the corner to the Chinese restaurant.

That is amazing.
Ha!
Argh. I woke up and realized we forgot to buy more coffee yesterday. And then made some oatmeal but managed to drop the bowl and spill it all over my scooter and the floor, and burn my finger. Boooo.
Plus I want to take the day off but have urgent work to do.
Gronk. So, so tired. Coffee doesn't work if you stay up until 2 and have to be up by 8. For the record.

I'm working on an internal summary for people who will never actually read it, and my boss keeps adding things, and I think it's getting less and less useful.
Also I knew in advance who I was going to get for office Secret Santa Snowflake -- maybe I'm psychic?
I started off the day working from home and then couldn't get my poor abused netbook to turn on so changed that to taking a sick day and that was the motivation that machine needed to get through one more day so now I am working from home, but lackadaisically because that whole process was exhausting. And I ordered a new Chromebook so maybe next time I decide to work from home it will be easier.
