Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Pix, I think that he would want you to do what you need to do. You can't push yourself forever.

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

You can't push yourself forever.

I would also echo that this pace is not tenable.

This. Thiiiiiiiiiiiisssss.

(Remember when I tried to do that and skirted the edge of a nervous breakdown? And all of you gently ganged up on me and told me I needed to rest? Back at you, my love.)

Thanks, everyone.

Our wings are not tired.

Pix, you have done everything you could do, and more. He would be in more trouble if you push yourself to collapse. Sleep well in your own bed and reenergize.

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

Matilda took off to spend NYE at a friend's house (with sleepover). So I'm all alone with a blossoming cold.

A sneezing and snizzling head cold. Rundown and snotty.

I just took a NyQuil and made myself a hot cider with cognac. So that should knock me out.

It's entirely appropriate that I'm entering 2024 sliding backwards down the coal chute.

It would be a good night to have a dog.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I know the feeling.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Happy New Year! from UTC-6

I'm on the middle-to-tail end of mine, Hec, and I empathize. We didn't have the oomph to put together anything remotely celebratory today.

Now, I sleep. Late, I hope.

Good 2024 to all.

Because books.

Happy(ish?) New Year everyone.

I forgot to say yesterday, I have 4 cards left to send out, and thank you to the people waiting so patiently!
