The Wicked matinees were sold out at my local theater and I gave up on buying gifts for work friends today upon seeing the parking lot at TJ Maxx, so I instead untangled my new solar Christmas lights and had Mom unspool them for me as I strung them up and set the solar panel. There must have been a partial charge already in the battery as they're now lit up. Once I buy some more hooks this week, I'll try my hand at moving some of them to the diagonal eaves on the front of my house.

Also, got Little Drummer Boyed first thing Friday morning on my way to shop for gifts.

Biden pardoned Hunter. YES! Use those powers, Joe!

We still have sweet potato pie left.

Excellent. I hope the next 7 weeks are a flurry of Biden flexing his executive office muscles.

Do what you gotta do, Joe, while you can.

I survived the awkward fusion dancing, and left my friend’s at 9am. I stopped twice for gas and once at a rest stop, and still didn’t make it to Palm Springs until 7pm. So tired. But although my friend who organizes this is not coming until Saturday (because she just had surgery), another friend is here, which is v good (it would be creepy and sad alone) and I unpacked and am prepared to settle in for the month. Yay! Tomorrow work, but also getting groceries and looking at calendars and stuff.

One year I had too much stuffing and made a version of this with it [link]

It was heavenly.

With his new found immunity from prosecution there is a long list of people that should have their citizenship revoked for national security purposes. So much that could have been done if we played by different rules.

Looks yum, Truday, but I did finish mine yesterday.

I doubt that siccing black ops teams on Putin and Musk for assassination is in the cards, but I like the idea of both of them sleeping less soundly. (If Musk sleeps.)

Of course all the news is "He said he wouldn't!" Pfffftttt. With the nomination of Kash Patel, Joe had no choice. So fuck them.

Oliver is back at school and Robin heads back tomorrow. I should be returning to work next week (if my physical therapist agrees).

I hope Biden hands out preemptive pardons like snack-size candy on Halloween, frankly. Winter is coming.

Definitely... Would like to see bold action on a lot of fronts, really.(But if Biden really was that guy, I wouldn't have felt like we're generally on different sides.)
