A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think that's just the Hallmark Christmas shows - but that said, you may as well enjoy them either way!

Wishing that everyone who needs feel better may do so! And those who celebrate the holiday have a fabulous time, and those who are celebrating a few extra days off enjoy that!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Much ~ma, Daniel.

Why am I awake? I didn't go to sleep until 4. Argh!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So it's more of a pile of (delicious!) cream puffs rather than a croquembouche, because I could not make caramel today. I tried three times and gave up. My mother: "It looked so good last time!" I FUCKING KNOW. Jesus christ was that not helpful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Gonna make this tart for Christmas:

Mmmm, a classic.

I got the fucking gigantic bows for the car & younger nephew's overpowered go kart to fucking be bows.

Totes bragworthy.

Heal-ma for your mom, Dan.

My cold is now a painful sore throat. Bah. Not my xmas plan. Even drinking coffee is unpleasant.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sorry, Hec. Feel better.

Spent yesterday with the family instead of Christmas Day, and now it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off of me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Anyone who complains about a delicious pile of cream puffs is lacking Christmas spirit.

Even drinking coffee is unpleasant.

Ugh, those are the worst days.

The status is NOT quo.

So much ~ma for you and your mom, Daniel.

Pile of cream puffs would be gladly welcomed here!

I am impressed by everything jesse did by 730am! It's 10am here and I...have run a loaf of laundry (but have about six more to do because I haven't done laundry in forever), emptied the dishwasher, and did the one work thing I needed to do because I didn't on Friday before I left. Now to go to the store, and then later I'm supposed to have a massage. I'm really hoping it happens—I made the appointment online and got reminders but still have a fear there was a mistake and they aren't open today and I'll get there and no massage! I feel so much better today than yesterday with my migraine though. Whew.

Herding cats for fun

Bones-knitting-themselves-back-together ~ma for your mom, Daniel.

I am about to chop veggies for a 7 layer salad and put a prime rib into the oven. Yesterday I did a Kamado turkey. We are going to have plenty of food.

Dad has "graduated" from being walker dependent and is able to climb stairs and sleep in his own bed again. He's awfully happy about his returning independence and frankly it is adorable to see him so chuffed. 2018 has been a shit show, but it looks like Dad will not be one of the casualties. Let me express my gratitude again.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night.
