Well finessed TJ's run, Jesse. I go to the TJ's that's most train accessible and I know the satisfaction of two evenly packed (but not overpacked so I can't grab the handles!) bags for Muni.
We have procured the tree! Emmett is here with a full beard and JZ is at mass (it's a day of Holy Obligation I guess?). We'll be making cookies in a bit and watching some xmas specials.
He can't stay the night because he's got school work due on Monday and work-work to do tomorrow. (He's doing landscape work once a week to pick up some cash.)
I think I've mentioned that Emmett is being an au pair in exchange for free housing with cousins of his best friend Joey. The key news here for anybody who has been following Emmett's dog-wanting ways all along is that...the family got a rescue dog!
So now Emmett is now living with a dog named Murphy, who is a young beagle/mastiff mix. (Looks like a Beagle with weird coloring.)
And he's very happy about that although between the baby and the dog he's literally dealing with a lot of shit.
