Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am picturing Murderbiscuit chasing the train!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

What are you all doing today? It's quiet in here...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Curled up under a blanket reading and listening to the rain

he's super excited about having a train to go under the tree

As is right and proper. My sister and dad used to set up trains at Christmas; it was so cool.

We're getting our tree and setting it up!

Yay, tree time!

Fantastic! I love what you wrote. And who you are.

I feel good about lounging on the sofa, under the cat, near my Christmas tree.

Lovely!

(yes, I left the best for last)

Indeed! Love this.

Currently listening to Christmas Classics on Alexa and sending out emails. Just broke for a crossword puzzle sesh.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

This morning I walked the dog in the rain, then spent an hour on the phone with my BFF (she got an awesome new job that doubled her salary and we mostly talked about that), then watched the US-Netherlands World Cup game on delay, then made a tuna melt for lunch. Next I will read a little bit in my pleasantly-clean house (the cleaners came yesterday), and then I will go to my local winery with my sister to pick up our mandatory orders for the quarter.

And then I will spend the rest of the day reading. I have to start and finish Rules of Civility by Amor Towles by Thursday at 7 PM.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Jim and I are going to a Seattle Symphony performance of The Nightmare Before Christmas; we were invited to a happy hour prior to the performance ("They want a donation, right?" "They probably saw our address and made assumptions. But there's cookies, so what the hell"), and I will be wearing a silk/wool scarf from Bev, a moonstone necklace from Jilli and a ring from Plei.
