Calli- from way back. I wish you could move to Western NY! I would love to have a fellow Buffistas here, even if I am shy.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2018: The Real Bad Place Was The Friends We Made Along The Way
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2018. You have a lot to turn around, 2019. Be a Good Place.

Punishingly Intricate
My buffista secret Santa gift will go in the mail tomorrow. I haven't gotten mine yet and wanted to let my person know that we'll be away from tomorrow through Jan 5.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am also planning to get mine in the mail tomorrow; you haven't been forgotten, dear recipient!

Our wings are not tired.
I was excited to receive a package yesterday from Dallas and placed it under my tree without opening the contents, and the gift bag was very pretty under the tree. Got up this morning early as always and opened up my presents! [link] In the order opened, a cute card which I didn't open and then put aside per instructions to save for last, a happy Snoopy pin, a What Would A Sloth Do pen that will bring a grin to my face during the work day, heart chocolates (yum yum yum), a really lovely artsy kitchen towel, and an absolutely beautiful set of painted nested boxes. I love little boxes and use a variety of them to store my jewelry and little treasures. These are quite lovely and will warm my heart for many years to come. Thank you so very much, Santa Dana!
To my dear santee, life gets calmer tomorrow and I can complete the project I am working on for you.

Sounds awesome Laura.
Last night I went to Matthew's brother's for their annual Christmas Eve party/unwrapping extravagana (they do extended family and friends presents ). His sister got me some scented candles and his brother and sister in law got me a cat pendant and earring set. Our gifts were a hit .
We haven't opened presents yet this morning but I did do the first sort of present. I asked Matthew about a date he wanted me to move in. I decided if I have to drive back and forth for a bit it's fine. His reply was "this weekend!" Which was wonderful but impractical so it's going to be the third weekend in Jan. In three weeks. I'm scared but excited and besides figuring out logistics we also have to paint the front bedroom which will become a library/computer room for me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Thanks, Sophia! I'd love to meet you, f2f too. I have job opening auto searches set up for higher ed within ~45 minutes of Rochester, NY, so we'll see what happens. My niece just had her first baby last night, so now I have extra incentive.
