Oof, msbelle.
I just spent a half-hour wrapping presents, and got not very much done! But I think getting myself organized took a while, so tomorrow will go faster.
I wish I were on a cruise.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, msbelle. I'm sorry.
ltc told me today that I was stupid and that I'm not very good at anything, on separate occasions today. It's possible she heard me say the latter about myself, which I really need to watch. This kid doesn't miss a trick.

I took today off to do anything last minute, but there wasn't a lot. Just laundered, picked up a bit, did an interview with the Baltimore Sun & bought a local book locally (Ghosts of Johns Hopkins, which is already righteously pissing me off) because I coulda asked for it for Xmas, but wanted plane reading & to support local. & took an unplanned nap.
Need to pack tomorrow & get on a plane.

I would like to be on a cruise also! I did go float in a pod though? But now know things for next time, like I need music. Hoping I will sleep well tonight.
Aww, sj, that's tough.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ooh, I want to try floating.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Were you interviewed, sara? Or were you interviewing someone?

Well, I don't work for the Sun, so. We'll see what comes from it.

Our wings are not tired.
I want to be on a cruise too! DH was moaning yesterday that we should be on a cruise remembering Christmas past cruising.

{{sj}} I often asked my mother how she survived parenting me in particular because I was a horror, and the 4 of us in general. She said she repeated to herself over and over again, this too shall pass. And it does. We did all dote on her lovingly into her old age, maybe because she was so forgiving of all our shenanigans.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I've been on a cruise for Thanksgiving, and one for New Year's Eve. Never one for Christmas. Although the idea of Christmastime in Cozumel has its appeal, especially on a overcast day with rain expected.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got a new recliner and wrestled the old one to the curb. Now I feel sore but accomplished.

I'm not getting on a plane until Sunday, so I have a bit more time to ignore the whole packing thing. I'm also working from home today and tomorrow, which will facilitate getting stuff done around the house.
