I already lost the LDB game over Thanksgiving.
I lost because of Tim's goddamn holiday cheer and accompanying Spotify holiday playlists. Still avoiding Whamhalla, although I actually like that cursed song. I just haven't been listening to holiday music on my own.
Good luck Consuela, yikes!!
I saw something about the French carol called (these days) Patapan was originally titled something along the lines of "willie get your little drum". It's pretty music, but it may have inspired the dreaded LDB. Here's Patapan ... ignore if you dread even the hint of THAT SONG.
I'm still in LDB & Mariah (weird, usually get knocked out on her first), but I did get sent to Whamhalla last week. I had been feeling unwell so I took a nap in my car at lunch. It was a warm day so I had the fan on and didn't bother to shut off the CD player, which was *just* enough to drain the battery. I had to call AAA after work, when they finally got here (rush hour traffic) and got the car started, I got in and the CD player had ejected the CD, the radio came on and George Michael immediately hit me with his poor decision-making. Totally adding insult to injury!
Timelies all!
Made it to Worldcon. Mr. S has school the rest of the week, so one of us will drive him up in the morning, the nanny will pick him up and one of us will get him around 5. We’ll see how this works out.
How are things going with the new nanny?
I just got out of a meeting that started half an hour after my day was supposed to end, I got the agenda 5 minutes before it started, and it went on half an hour or so longer than it was scheduled for. And I got very little out of it. And we'll have another one in January. So now I am having a Break Apart Orange Cream Ale and it is pretty darn delicious.
Patapan rocks and is way better than LDB.
... and now I have a sore throat but I'm hoping it's allergies or psychosomatic.
I'm self-soothing with leftovers from the cookie exchange yesterday, and the first episode of School of Chocolate.
Things seem to be going well, Laura.
