Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We're departing for the airport soon and already playing the game "how late will our flight be?" Was 5:05, currently 5:20. Bad weather in Dallas, of course.

Oh, yes! I forgot to say, Happy Birthday, Jesse, and Theo, and Rayne!

Happy Boxing Day to you all, thanks for the good wishes, plus the start of Hanukkah And Kwanzaa! It's a holiday quad-header!

I did nothing on Xmas, didn't have energy to make any plans, and no one tried to offer any, so a day home was OK. I binged on the first couple of seasons of Ghosts (US), which I have to say holds up really well.

Getting my license renewed couldn't have been easier -- in fact, the T dropped me off about 40 minutes early. I went to the AAA office downtown in Boston, which lets you make appointments, they had all my info queued up. I had to go in person because my picture and signature had to be refreshed -- I'm not sure how long it's been since they were originally taken!

Now tagless for your comfort.

EM made a full tenderloin with a horseradish sauce, and a very rich pot of creamed spinach and I made Au Gratin potatoes (Comte, Sharp Cheddar and Gruyere). Best Au Gratin potatoes I ever made.

DH made a tenderloin for Christmas Day. It was exquisite.

Yes Crema sounds like the Puerto Rican Coquito that I make and love

Is this similar to horchata (Rumchata)? Because I love anything creamy.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Lots of people making and selling Coquito in my neighborhood and in all kinds of flavors. Yum.

Hey, a little birdie asked me to pass along that today is the lovely amyparkers's birthday!

Many happy returns to you, amyparker! May you enjoy the day and a fabulous year ahead.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

At work. Feels like Monday, but I know it’s Friday.

Down is up, up is down.

The week of 1/6 is going to seem like the longest work week ever.

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

Truer words, msbelle

Had a real hard time remembering that I actually had to wake up and start working this morning. Somehow yesterday was easier, but today I'm apparently all "working again? But I just did that yesterday!"
