Anyone else watching all the men’s World Cup?

Our wings are not tired.

Heading over to my sister's later to bring her mom's nativity set and put it in her front yard. She somehow managed to fall out of bed yesterday. She fell around 4 AM and waited until 5 to call my brother. There was no way he and his wife could pick her up so they called the fire department. We can't figure out how she managed falling out since she sleeps dead still on her back in the middle of her queen size bed. She did say it was the first time she had so many men in her bedroom. She's sore today, but okay.

I've spent the last few days alternating sorting Christmas decorations, working, and reading. A lot of reading to try and keep from tumbling into too big a pity party here. One book on the computer, one audible, one Nook, and one actual hardcover. All at once depending where I am sitting! Brain exercise!

I've really only seen highlights from the World Cup, meara. I enjoy it a lot, but just haven't focused on it.

It’s going to be Morocco-France, as one of the semis, which should be interesting. I slept through the Morocco game this morning (except hearing my friend yell “oh shit!”) but we watched France v England.

Timelies all!

Happy birthday Consuela!

It’s Gary’s birthday today. A couple of our friends are coming over in a bit.

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

I watched some of the England-France game. Mostly the end. I’m basically a Tottenham Hotspurs fan, and the Spurs goalie, Lloris, was playing for France, while, of course Harry Kane was playing for England. So either way, one of the guys I generally root for won.

At my sister's. Doing whatever she has on her list. She is pretty sore. Now my brother smooshed his car doing Lyft stuff last night at 1 AM or something. AAA didn't show until like 10 this morning so he was out there all night waiting. I expect he will be sore tomorrow. Ah, family.

Now for the work rant, one of my doctors swears he signed off and faxed a bunch of notes, but he didn't, but there is no telling him that because he knows he did. So I signed them all off as him and faxed them. Except for the ones that say Dear Dr. Jones on the note and the default fax recipient is Dr. Smith, because I am not going to figure that out. 2 clicks sign and fax, but no resolving issues. I'm sure my logging in as him and signing the notes is super compliant.

Driving back east tonight.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A clear, bright, cool day in San Francisco after a couple days of winter storms.

The pup we were looking at got adopted yesterday by somebody else. Good for all of them.

Last night I went to a Xmas Cabaret show with my friend, Jes. It featured, among other things, a slide show presentation of A Star Wars Holiday Special that culminated in a Han Solo male pole dancer.

Excellent holiday entertainment, San Francisco style.

Always Anti-fascist!

Oh, well, Hecubus. Maybe your dog will show up at another time. (That's not a comment about the pole-dance thing.) I would like us to have another terrier again, someday, but we kind of only just have the room, so I understand why we don't.
