Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm seeing a movie and eating Chinese food, with a friend. Granted it's her wife, who is working all day (they're doctors) who is Jewish, but we are going with that.
I mostly want today to be over but I'm looking at some drama and realizing I may need to work more than I'd hoped next week, while on vacation. Ugh.
I'm going to start putting together thoughts on things I can do that will become new traditions for me for Christmas.
You really need a strategy even if it's something like LotR Marathon rewatch extended editions only! Plus the traditional....queso fundido and margaritas at 2pm, and flag football with the neighbor's dog at twilight.
One of the bookstore clerks I chat with recently said she was alone on xmas eve and xmas day, and she wasn't sad about it but I did encourage her to plan ahead for maybe a horror marathon (she's a horror fan) and slice and bake cookies, and beer.
I loved it when Emmett's godparents hosted Boxing Day. That was a lovely open-house.
I am trying to figure out when to make the trek up to Vacaville to the Chinese restaurant that makes duck the way I like it. They don't have online ordering, I have to make a phone call, so that's the stressful part.
Those people suck, Epic, I'm sorry you have to put up with them.
It only gets brighter from here on out.
Timelies all!
We're at sea today. Mr. S is behaving terribly, having frequent meltdowns and making a giant mess of our cabin. He clearly needs a nap, but won't take one.
Benadryl juice box? IJS.
It only gets brighter from here on out.
Happy solstice!
Sorry, Sheryl.
It only gets brighter from here on out.
Thank god.
My mother and I just went and hung out for a while by my father's niche at the cemetery (for his birthday), and re-agreed that picking the indoor columbarium was not only the cheapest choice, but also the best, because it is pouring out.
For Christmas, we were going to just hang around and watch Christmas movies and maybe play games, but we got invited for roast beef dinner, so we're doing that, which should be fine.
