I'm seeing a friend tonight who just got engaged. I don't really care for the fiancé, but whatever, not me who's marrying him. But the last time I saw her she was all "not cut out for monogamy" this and "I think I want another boyfriend but not the dude I just cheated on [fiancé] with" that, so...Congrats?
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

So far we have been pretty drama free. If there will be any, it will likely hit tomorrow.
I just found a couple of prezzies I had hidden from myself (better now than next week, right?), so the wrapping continues. Karate is in 90 minutes. Hopefully KCD will drop CJ off so he can take class too.

Because books.
S. let me sleep late, which was nice, but now I'm way behind. And still pretty gronky.
All out family drama on my side has to do with my aunt, and her son, who just got out of jail (again). Not terribly interesting, actually.

I still haven't left for PA. I'm actually All Packed now, but I seem to be waiting for the depression at the thought of getting in the damn car and driving through the traffic to pass.

Okay, I'm at the family compound and I need to do a Festivus airing out of grievances:
what is with my parents buying one-ply toilet paper?
One-ply?
I feel like I'm being punished.

Like coats and handbags, bathroom tissue is something you get enough use out of to make it worth spending a bit more on the good stuff.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
you know, I have considered it. I feel silly for running into CVS for 2-ply toilet paper, but come ON.
