I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Jesus, lisah, WTF!?! Not aimed at you, obviously. I think I am more shocked by arson than the general public might be. And that is very sad about the medical person and I am sure a loss the community can ill afford

Oof, I'm sorry that's happening, meara. Not what any of y'all needed!

Who's thinking of going in '26? Registration for previous attendees opens on Jan. 1, and for "rookies" on Jan. 8th. Just sayin'...

Ooh, I have an extra week to think about it! I was considering WorldCon next year and have pretty much decided that I can't afford that but maybe this will seem more affordable in comparison? Will think about it and eye my poor beleaguered budget...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

All three shirt options were rejected by ltc. So now I get to return them tomorrow and try again. Sigh.

Oh, dear, sj.

Yes, think about it, -t! It would be so awesome to meet you in person! Plus, super fun tournament. Win-win!

My DH is going to a two-day meeting tomorrow and spending the night there. I am looking forward to having the house to myself with giddy anticipation. It's not like I don't get time to myself, and I actually enjoy DH's presence, but there's something about having it all to myself that just feels luxurious. And I will definitely sprawl in the middle of the bed with wild abandon tomorrow night. And order takeout.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm tempted by the crossword tournament but I need to check spring break schedules.

Thrive to spite them

I have tomorrow off and then the 23rd, so I'm working 6 days in a row which I hate but luckily it's not as bad as Thanksgiving. People aren't buying like crazy for Thanksgiving. Also I'll work Christmas Eve, have Christmas Day off, work Friday, have Saturday off. So it's not too bad.

I can't believe it's almost Christmas and the end of the year.

This year has been both impossibly long and impossibly short.

Anyway we have to do the majority of Christmas shopping tomorrow. I'm hoping it won't be as busy since it's a Tuesday and not a Saturday

Also Mom is coming down to take us to breakfast.
