I’ve never been so glad to NOT be traveling at Christmas, with this mess. Plus today is our first really warm day here so I got in the pool for the first time all month! And I’m on vacation for the next week. All good!

I am crossing my fingers the post office put an unexpected package delivery in my mailbox and not on my porch or just sitting on top of the mailbox (they’ve done that!). I’m not sure how big it is, so just crossing my fingers it’s still there when I get home

Apparently the Bills are playing somewhere.

They beat the Bears, in Chicago. I don't usually watch but I thought it would be useful to know when the Chiefs game ended (which my family would be watching) and the the Bears-vs-Bills was the game available to me.

I'm making kinda random foods. Cranberry muffins are done and a butternut squash and kale side dish is in the oven. Tomorrow I'll make a sweet potato, carrot, apple, and red lentil soup.

I've watched The Woman King and Everything Everywhere all at Once over the last two evenings. I'm deciding between Glass Onion and Top Gun- Maverick for this evening.

If you're in the mood for mindless, exciting, slickly produced and well executed propaganda, go Top Gun. If you're in the mood for a twisty movie that's in love with its own cleverness (and it definitely is that clever), go Glass Onion.

Also, Glass Onion has Janelle Monae, and Top Gun does not.

I got the Oct date when I looked. I can't remember how long I've been on the board. I know since TT.

I'm currently at M's brother's from Xmas Eve.

We have no Internet. The whole town is lacking Spectrum and from what I can tell this is an issue in multiple states. Luckily we haven't lost power or cell service.

Heh, Glass Onion it is.

(Fuck you, Deshaun Watson.)

So much so.

Our Christmas Eve plans fell through so it’s happily a snuggle on the couch watching football day. And since it’s Christmas Eve and will be an early night, I’ve even opened the wine. Naps might follow rather inevitably.

We’re going to watch the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special and the S1 finale of Stranger Things after ltc goes to bed. Right now we’re all snuggled on the couch watching Holiday Baking Championship.

Timelies all!

We ordered from a local pizza place for dinner.(Limited number of places open.) Picked it up, brought it home only to discover they forgot my spinach lasagne. They remembered the side salad and the garlic knots, and the stuff for Gary and Mr. S, but not my lasagne. Called them back and had them take it off my bill.(They screwed up that too, and had to get my card number again.)

As we have done in the past, when reminiscing, I think my delurking was on TT 5x5

I delurked in TT Buffy 2. And the first thing I said was a spoiler and the first response to me was Dana saying, "My eyes! My eyes!"

So that was a good start.

At the time I was in a pack of Undifferentiated Davids which is why I became Hecubus and Knut became Difficult.

As for many of the best things in my life, I blame Eli. Heavens, that was a long time ago.
