Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Oh wow, Mattis quit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can't say I'm surprised.

Our wings are not tired.

It's a wonder any of them stay. I wonder what it takes for all of the rats to flee from his ship. Maybe senators going home for the holiday break and hearing it from all their family and friends? The stock market crash?

Please can we hold off on the crash until after I get my house sold? Hope to put it on the market again maybe in January.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As seen on Facebook, I really can't get over the fact that I now know the person I saw busking last Christmas -- wearing an elf outfit, playing "Paint it Black" on her accordion!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You have quite a life, Jesse!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a glass of wine and a fancy chocolate that was a present from a colleague, AND got Secret Santa-ed and suddenly, everything is good!

(Needless to say, I know that elf from band.)

I suspected as much. What a fun sentence to be able to say "I know that elf from band"

"I know that elf!" somehow is making me giggle.

I have work to do tomorrow, but then I"m off for the week! Well, honestly I may have to log in here and there. But. Hopefully not much.

I'm bored though. Wanted to go to an event, but none of my friends were going and I wasn't sure how easy it would be to hang out and mingle with strangers, as opposed to being shoved in a corner and feeling awkward on my scooter. Bleh. But I need human interaction! Gotta figure out things to do next week with people or I won't especially enjoy this vacation.

Figuring that out ~ma meara!

I am pretty excited to have 4 days off in a row with no plans whatsoever. Feels like it's been a while since I've had that kind of time to myself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I get Christmas Eve off and I'm taking the 26th off, and all of that will include family. Otherwise, I will be "working", since my manager failed to correctly explain our "unlimited" PTO to me. I could have pitched a fit if I'd really made plans, but it just means that my work computer will be turned on while I lie on the couch and watch TV.
