Hooray! I was worried you're whole kitchen would be in pieces.
Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess
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.
Me too, me too! I'm feeling much better not only having it in there but having cleaned up the mess. Though the old one is still in the way, gotta call up the trash people and let them know.
shrift, I think you should put your cell-phone in the freezer and go sit on a beach in Thailand for a month.
megan walker drive-by for msbelle: My blog page for navigating Paris beyond the obvious, instructions for the métro, etc. with the caveat that it has been five years since I've been there (though I updated the prices more recently than that). I need to work on that. Le sigh.
Yay new microwave!
Well, I woke up around 4:45 today for no good reason. Luckily my only to-dos are a bookmaking class (making physical books, not learning how to take bets professionally) at noon and filling up the bird feeder whenever. Pretty sure I can manage both of those before I crash.
I do like sipping coffee by the light of the Christmas tree, my cat snoring beside it. It's not a bad morning at all. It's just a super early one.
Two trips to the hardware store later I have a new microwave! It seems to work!!
Yay!
I want to go to Trader Joe's today, but it's so cold. And it takes a lot of walking to get there. I was thinking about going to a different one where I could take a bus right there, but I remembered that bus is fucking unreliable, so I won't bother. HMMMMMMM.
In other to-do items: put up lights outside, get a bagel, go to Messiah sing this afternoon. Also clean? Shop for presents?
This has to be the worst version of LDB I've ever heard. Losing in style, I guess.

One year, I lost to a steel-drum version of LDB in a Spencer's Gifts store in a mall. It was simultaneously the best and worst way to lose.
Woo! I did all of my first-part-of-the-day things! Bagel, check. TJ's, check. Lights, check. Although I need one new string of lights because one worked in the house but not outside, and one is half-dead.
Also, this may be the smallest possible victory, but I bought the perfect amount of stuff at TJ's. One bagful, easy to carry. Sometimes I get there and feel like I didn't actually get enough to make the trip worth it. I also had a moment where I was going to buy a bunch of drinks and take a Lyft home, but I resisted that as well.
Timelies all!
Since the LDB that happened before Thanksgiving didn't count, I guess I got LDBed the Monday after Thanksgiving. There has been Christmas music in the lab just about every day for the last few weeks. Oh well, one more week, then I'm on vacation.
Meanwhile, we are having a party for Gary's birthday today. Let's see how many people show up...
