CJ is TOUGH. Man walks down a mountain with a tampon up his nose to stop a nosebleed, people know he ain't afraid of nothing.

Due to oversleeping and then wandering around in a cold-medicine haze all day, I've accomplished exactly nothing on the must-get-done-today list. So presents will be wrapped and cards written tomorrow, and all mailed out on Monday. Good enough. I can barely even concentrate enough to watch tv right now, never mind doing Christmas stuff.

I realized today that I'd forgotten to make my car payment, which gave me a brief jolt of terror. Normally it's set up to pay automatically, but since I'm switching accounts and I refinanced the loan with the credit union, I stopped the autopay and then of course I forgot. It's about a week late now. Hopefully they won't come repossess my car before I can get there on Monday morning.

I realized today that I'd forgotten to make my car payment,

Ooh, thanks for reminding me. I think I have a day or two left.

My day thus far: Went to the hair dresser, and I now have short hair and no more Chemo Curl, and no more roots. YAY (and this is nothing against curly hair--it was cute when it was all curly, but less so when only some of the ends were)

I came home from my hair appointment to find that the landlord had decided my apartment (which he was showing to people) needed a poinsettia plant on the front table to brighten it up, and then left it there.

Have I mentioned that Dita will eat anything?

So I called him to say thanks but no thanks and he told me he thought he had rented the place already, and might be able to give me some of the January rent back if I am really out on the 20th, which is the current plan.

Which would be awesome, except for the fact that we are still waiting for the bank to finalize something, which they may or may not do in time for us to actually close before I leave for Tucson.

I'm not fucking with msbelle.

Perkins, I have a solution for you. TAKE VACATION AND COME STAY HERE! oh, right, well, in my fantasy world it works. A fantasy world where your cats would pack for you and find accommodations for themselves for free while you travel. My fantasy world ROCKS!

Anybody here bought eyeglasses online? Which vendor did you use?

Man, I need msbelle to make responsibility charts for me. And relatedly, one of my dreams last night was me visiting msbelle and Mac, which turned into me being Mac's version of Mary Poppins.

I like msbelle's fantasy world, especially the part where the cats pack for me.

I can't tell you how much I want to just run away right now.

Hel Jilli, you're my version of Mary Poppins!

I've bought eyeglasses from Zenni Optical twice. The second time, just about an hour ago! They are cheap even for high-index lenses, and fast, and resolve questions/problems quickly IME. They have a big inventory, and a virtual try-on tool. As long as you know all your numbers like pupillary distance, you can order glasses; you don't have to actually send them your prescription. Which is handy for getting, for instance, under-corrected lenses for reading without having to explain why you want something that isn't your exact prescription.
