So last night we skidded into a gutter on the way home--serious snow and ice on the roads around here--but the car seemed relatively unharmed. Hubby took the car to our faux-son's garage and discovered that there is real damage. So 2 out of 2 cars need major work, with only one of them driveable though it shouldn't be. And car dealerships won't look at us unless we have $2K in hand. I told Hubby to get my car fixed, but no, "my car is still OK" and "that's a lot of money, we can wait on that." Well, no, we can't now, Hubby. The weather is fucked, we're in dangerous vehicles, and you insisted on dropping $300 on Christmas presents "because it's expected of us." If he says one more time "It'll all work out" I may scream.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

That sounds like a lot of good stuff, Frank! But also just a lot.
You are not wrong on either count. I will be very happy once I'm past New Year's as I will be able to seriously chill out, but I am still really looking forward to all the stuff coming up before that. And I'm so relieved to be past the dread feeling I had leading up to everything.

Good luck with the meds, ita!
Connie, that's tough. If you sell one car for scrap would that be enough to fix the other car?
Frank, that all sounds pretty excellent, though tiring!
I am downloading all the emails that came in while I was gone, and thinking "WHY did I not take off today/tomorrow/monday?!?" But I have work that must be done...and a headache, and sore throat that presages a cold. Uh oh.

Today is mt day off with mac at camp. Even with a late start I have had a really good day thus far. Got white christmas tree 50% off, many books at half price books for mac, returned one gift and bought some jewelry with the store credit. Now comfort food. Next up giant antique store.

Yikes, Connie. I'd be...not pleased.
ita !, frustration, your life has too much of it.
She looked rather dashing though in her new Burberry coat that her father gave her for Christmas. Fancy! Pretty!
But feel better, JZ.
flea, M is obsessed with Minecraft as well. He was delighted to get a $10 iTunes gift card so he can buy the...I dunno. Different version?
Working. Back is ouch. Must go feed child and put laundry in. Oh, the glamour.

Working for me just now, Consuela.
Took migraine meds and a nap to deal with headache, but still have lots of work that is (over)due. Don't have the oomph to do it though...partly due to lingering vacationitis, and partly due to the after-effects of meds. Trying to decide how to convince myself off the internet...

Just feeling lazy here....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am in possibly the world's foulest mood. I don't think working between Christmas and New Year's is good for me.
