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!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You have quite a life, Jesse!

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.

Your unlimited PTO is not unlimited?

Our wings are not tired
DH was moaning yesterday that we should be on a cruise remembering Christmas past cruising.
I was looking at some of those pictures today and actually thinking the same thing.
