I opened the ornament last night and I love it.
I'm so glad! It just clearly belonged with you and Pix.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Sophia: 3 days without your glasses: what a nightmare. I wonder if something like a gps for glasses could be invented: there could be a microchip in your frame that speaks to an app on your phone
This is exactly what I need. It is so much worse since a) the masks and b) middle age. So even though I am VERY nearsighted, between the fogging, and inability to read the phone or computer with my glasses, they are often off. I have seriously thought about somehow rigging a tile to my glasses, because that fixed my key problem. I did end up ordering a pair, so I will have a backup!
Merry Christmas to all!

Thrive to spite them
I had a good Christmas over all. Dinner turned out well.
Back when I was struggling with being so hot at work, someone recommended a neck fan and Mom got me one for Christmas. I was actually doing ok temperature wise and M was using it today.
Dad and I went for a walk today, walked longer than I have in awhile and it felt good physically but kind of wore me out and my eye is bothering me for some reason.

My condolences to you dcp.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
Our big family gathering was Thursday night, so last night Mom and my closest cousin and I had veggie pizzas at Mom's place. I'm headed over again in a few to have Christmas ham and exchange gifts. (Well, my gift already arrived so I'm handing over a card and putting a bow on the refrigerator...)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I had a mostly-quiet day with scones in the morning with my sister, and then in the evening we drove to SJ to visit my brother's family (after we all tested), and we ate awesome hot pot, and sang some karaoke, and played with my nephew, and ate my excellent maple-walnut pie.
Tomorrow I will do laundry and vacuum. If it's not too wet, I will take the dog for a run in the woods.
Merry Christmas all!

Happy birthday to the Boxing Day Babies, Jesse and Theo!
We're slow moving in SF this morning but planning on seeing Maria and her beau some time today (around the expected rain).
One of the presents I gave JZ was a previously unknown 1915 Italian silent movie about "Filibus - The Mysterious Sky Pirate." She was a cross dressing, lady wooing, aviatrix, cat burglar, master thief with her own blimp. It was wild.
