I love Caroline Hax’s writing. It’s great to get acknowledgment from people whose work you respect!

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
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.
Tree is up, and some ornaments hung. Coffee house jazzy Christmas music playing. Gray wintery day, so that matches.
Never got back to sending the card lists out, so I'll finish that up today.
Now it's lunchtime.
What are you all doing today? It's quiet in here...
Tim bought a train to go under the Christmas tree, on the theory that it will freak Murderbiscuit out so much that he'll leave the tree alone (he is literally a scaredy-cat who's afraid of seemingly inanimate objects that move independently). It's a win-win for Tim, because he's super excited about having a train to go under the tree, and if it keeps Murderbiscuit away from the tree, so much the better. So this weekend's goal is to get the tree and the train set up.

We're getting our tree and setting it up!

Ingenius!
I am picturing Murderbiscuit chasing the train!

Writing, for the first time in a long dry spell. Check GWW for details.
I did some card sending and gift shopping today. It’s also gray and rainy here, so now that my running about is done, I feel good about lounging on the sofa, under the cat, near my Christmas tree. I’m reading A Restless Truth, and enjoying it.

Oh shit, A Marvellous Light is still in my TBR pile. I need to get on that.
Let's see, I put together an office chair for DH since putting together the desk has used up his assembly resources. Took the dog to the park to run like the wind. Oh, and had a visit from Pix and her dad, then we went to have lunch on the beach. (yes, I left the best for last)
