The tree is up, but not decorated. The balcony lights are up. Other than that my living area is overflowing with large bins. So far 2 to be donated and 4 to go to my sister. I have so much stuff! My Christmas stuff, plus my mom's, plus his grandmother's. Threw away about 20 large plastic candles that I used to have around the perimeter of the house. (maybe more) They were nearly 40 years old so I got my money's worth out of them. No more yard or driveway to decorate!
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

I started to panic about having to string Christmas lights in the windows of the new place before putting up privacy shades, then realized I won't be moving until the end of December. PLENTY of time to worry about that before I have blinds installed. And I've left the lights up in my apartment for years, only have to plug them in Tuesday night.
I swear this house purchasing process has used up every iota of organizational competency I can muster and then some.

That’s a normal side effect of buying a house, I believe.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda objected to naming one of the new pigs "Maisie" because it was too close to "Marcie."
So that pig is now Pippy. Pippy and Ramona fit right in with Ringo and they're all active and hippity hoppity and they're just social creatures who do better with a pack.
They're still getting used to being picked up but they're coming out when I approach now because I am The Lettuce Monkey. Looming Humans Equals Food.
We're putting off meeting the dog to Sunday now because both JZ and I have xmas events to attend this Saturday night. We're pumping the brakes a little bit too to check ourselves on an impulse adoption.
I have approximately nine jillionaroni things to mail which is going to be my task today.

Perfect pig name!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
In annoying news, I keep losing earrings or part of earrings. It probably doesn’t help that I wear a mask at work, and my earrings are dangly.

This is the dog we met, btw: [link]
Not sure if that's going to happen but we'll probably go see her over the weekend with Matilda.
