Merry Christmas Buffistas! I woke up with a scratchy throat but I got the espresso machine working again so at least I can self-medicate with an almond milk latte.
I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

Happy Hanukkah to Shir and NIlly! Feliz Navidad to all who celebrate! And Happy Holidays to all.
It's in the 70s here in Texas, which isn't surprising, but it'd be nice to have a chill in the air at least. On the other hand, at least I didn't spin out in the snow on my way back to Houston this year.(I was fine, the car was just dented a bit.)

Merry Christmas
We’re under a flood watch until tomorrow evening but it isn’t raining right now, and it’s gusty but not high winds, so mom is doing her usual Thursday morning phenology at the meadow. Dad took a tumble on the stairs last night (answering the flood alert phone call) so he’s sitting down with ice packs on the injured parts. He thinks nothing’s broken, hope that is correct. Planning on going out for Chinese or Indian food, whatever we can find open, later

But I've had a slice of cherry pie
Oh my god, last night my cousin brought a cherry pie she made with morello cherries, and it was legitimately the best cherry pie I've ever had. My soul briefly left my body.

Yikes! I hope the ice packs fix him up!

My mom and stepdad are planning on the Indian buffet for today, and I am so jealous. I might need to get some Indian tomorrow.
We'll go up to Tim's brother and sister-in-law's house later on today, which will be a house full of kids, but still delightful. And I am for fucking sure not working tomorrow.

Oh! Completely unplanned, Tim and I gave each other heart-themed jewelry for Christmas. I always get an Ava gift (jewelry, hair clips, clothes), and this year was a bracelet with 2 intertwined hearts. And Tim gave me Pride heart earrings, so we both got each other double heart jewelry. We're adorable. He also gave me this sweater, which is awesome: [link]

Hope your dad heals up, -t!
Going over to my cousin's for dinner in a couple of hours. Got our chocolate Santas this morning. Taking a short Christmas nap right now.
Happies and Merrys all around!

Punishingly Intricate
Waiting for my slow brother and his slow family to get to my Mom’s for brunch. I will forgive him because he made the best Yorkshire puddings I’ve ever eaten for Xmas eve dinner last night.

Yikes! Hope it's nothing that can't be fixed with an ice pack.
