All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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.

I told my parents that I won't be visiting for Christmas.

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.

not your mom's socks.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

In nice news, the baby panda takes his first steps. Wobbly, but walking.

What is even happening?

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.

Cindy, I think so ... it was a fairly painless experience.

In other "yes, it's STILL 2020" news, a trailer for a mini movie.
