We got our 9/80 schedule for next year today (we don't do it during Nov/Dec because too busy) and my first Friday off is the day of the party. I can't decide if that makes me more likely to want to go or less.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Started with Mr. S throwing one of his toys overboard, then wailing like mad when he was told we couldn't get it back.
That'll be a fun story when he's 16.
Our holiday party is at the end of January. Food & drinks in the lobby starting at 3pm, milestones are acknowledged, drawings for a dozen or so donated gifts happen, and people can come and go as they please. It's not bad.
I should be packing.

Herding cats for fun
I wonder if Jackie Fox gets fans who sing ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!

I am inordinately pleased that she bet big on the Final Jeopardy question about Loki giving birth to Sleipnir. Feels like somebody's plan is coming together.

It just now occurred to me that Rite Aid should be stocked with incense and candles with very particular ingredients and maybe goats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha!
That also reminds me that I wonder if I'm the only one who's noticed that College Inn broth sounds just like collagen?

I had to see a recent Crest ad several times to understand they were not warning me about weekend enamel.

M-F enamel is just fine! I wonder if this is because we listen to TV as much as we watch it now?
In other news, while getting ready for work this morning, I got so sad about my grandmother who died this year! Frankly, I haven't thought about her much in years, so that was unexpected. But I got served an ad for last-minute floral arrangements, and (because?) that's what I always got her for Christmas, it just hit me.

Aw, yeah, that'll do it. Sadness is good at sneak attacks.

Our wings are not tired.

Among the boxes I picked up of Mom's belongings was a Christmas teapot with 2 delicate cups. So I am feeling fancy sipping from a pretty tea cup.
