I just knocked a shitload of stuff off my to do list, some of it pretty unpleasant and having to do with large amounts of money.

Yet? More still remain. However, I feel a smidge more like an adult. Just a smidge. The things that are now boggling me are probably only boggling me because I'm tired and headachey, not because they're complex or beyond me. And because I need to take a breath.

At least, that's what I must believe.

I just made vegetarian gluten-free gravy for leftovers, and it tastes like gravy should. I feel like I made fire with 2 sticks. Seriously, I feel like a total badass.

I also just ate an entire turkey leg. HELL YEAH.

I have leftovers! Mmm. Thank you, Kat and K! Thanks, Polgara.

I love my sister but she fails in some things: for instance she doesn't want to go see The Muppets with me. Damn her.

OTOH she drove us both out to see our folks and coordinated a blitzkrieg of medication sorting and inventorying, including dumping a whole pile of expired OTC meds. And then we went out for drinks and I got a Carter Beats the Devil, which is basically a margarita with chili peppers. NOM.

And now I've had salad and smoked paprika fries and will not be eating leftover turkey and stuffing for dinner.

My throat hurts a schootch, although probably not as much as Tim's, poor fella, so I'm almost through my second hot toddy. There's a lot of Jack in a hot toddy, at least the way I make 'em. Now I'm watching Viking Wilderness. I'm a sucker for anything with "Viking" in the title. Call something "Viking Grout Refinishing" and I am there!

I saw The Muppets this morning! And Labyrinth this afternoon.

Then I made a silver mini witch hat fascinator to go with my Yule Ball dress and shoes. I am going to be so, so sparkly.

My husband made me go shopping. It was terrible.

We went to the Art Museum but then Powell's. Powell's was not a good decision. So many people OMG.

Please share the badassery! I would love the recipe.

Can't remember in which thread I mentioned having bread-poisoning, but I crawled back onto the gluten-free wagon today and a good gravy recipe would be great.

OMG, I forgot that after the grease fight in Transporter he goes mouth to mouth with a guy underwater. Did straight women and gay men take over Hollywood while I wasn't paying attention? Is there a mafia I should be aware of? I don't want to miss out on a sharp dress code, or anything.

My fucking god. Freddie Mercury has been dead for 20 years and Holli's an adult. What the shit?

Ima reheat some turkey/stuffing/mashed potatoes.

I have no pie. I do have ice cream!

I've been banging away at the essay and book proposal. The dog keeps barking at nothing. Eventually, someone will be breaking into my place and she'll be going nuts and I'll be screaming, SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY just before a robber shoots me in the face.
