~ma for those who need it, and sorry to hear about so many shit shows.
I'm trying to get my act together on stuff that's been on my To Do list for a while where the deadlines are looming now, so focus is required even though I remain unmoored in time. Given that the Bay Area is on lockdown through January 4th and that the California DMV still is not offering appointments, I think I have zero chance of applying for a REAL ID before my current license expires. Therefore I think I'm stuck with renewing my license online and having to go through the REAL ID rigamarole at some nebulous point in the future, which is annoying but ultimately fine.
That's what I did with my license, shrift.
Health~ma for hippo and other ~ma for those who need it.
I told my parents that I won't be visiting for Christmas. I don't think they were surprised. I need to get their gift going. I'm trying to figure out how to get all the components compiled and to them on time.
Tonight I listened to my employer's audio play of ACC. After the "bows" the actors each had personal messages/wishes for the audience and that part got me all weepy. I guess it was hearing the actors (not characters) who I know that got me.

When I talked to my mom yesterday, she pretty much just assumed I wouldn't be visiting for Christmas and threatened to keep the Christmas tree up until I finally could get out there. It was a relief to have that settled without drama. I wish you luck in wrangling gifts. I need to get on that, too.
Thank you kindly, Shrift & Aurelia.
We're definitely staying put for the holidays, as are T's parents. Just planning to wave over zoom at everyone.
On one hand, I just lost the LDB game. OTOH, it was Grace Jones singing it on the Pee-wee Herman holiday special, so it was the coolest way possible.
I lost it to Christopher Lee's heavy metal version.
Okay, fine, the *second* coolest way.

My preferred way to go out!
In nice news, the baby panda takes his first steps. Wobbly, but walking.

Did I get you here, Toddson? I don't recall hearing it, before the day I posted it here.
LDB is on my favorite Christmas album [link] -- the one we always put on when we're decorating the tree. We did ours the day after Thanksgiving this year (super early for us -- but I needed lights and good cheer), so I LDBed myself, really.
