Love the monthly 5k resolution, it was such a good one for me! I think I did 11 races this year--didn't end up doing one in Feb or December, did two in November. But a friend asked me to do the New Year's Day resolution run with her, so on it goes!

I'm on my way to the airport...don't get to Indy until 1am, ugh.

Congrats on fulfilling the 5k resolution, Kat!

Much recovery~ma to Terry's mom, amyth. How scary for him and his family.

Airport was way less crowded/crazy than I feared. And thankfully I have plenty of legroom, and was able to stow my bags. So far so good? Though the $30 credit for using Lyft that my roommate sent me didn't work.

Onward to Phoenix! And then to Indy...

You can do it, amyth!

Kat, that's awesome. Good for you on the 5K resolution. And I love N's packing list.

Have fun in Indy, meara.

Burrell, would it help if I do a Rah Rah cheer for you? Rah rah! You can do it!

We have dropped all the pets off at their various vacation homes and cleared out the part of the house that will be missing this time next week. We will know more after the official report comes in tomorrow and T (landlady) talks with the bank and her home insurance agent. Cross fingers that she gets good news. And Wilson's MRI on Tuesday will determine if ND will be able to come to Florida with me or if he will stay here for Wilson's surgery and recovery.

Crossing my fingers for good news among the mess, Pix.

K-Bug took me out to the Nutcracker today. She also gave me an early Christmas present of a fancy holiday outfit. We had a great time. Now we are home slounging.

I don't know if there's a correct thread for this, but they've announced the casting for the Harry Potter play. They've cast a black woman as Hermione.

I am already wincing in anticipation of the hysteria that will result from this.

I wonder if even a single person who'll complain will have had prior plans to see it on the stage? I'm thinking live theatre probably isn't the friendliest place for racists...

Oh. Go them but yeah, shitstorm ahead.

Also: I realized what I forgot--coffee!! Usually I bring 4-6 pounds of coffee with me and its pet of my sister and BIL's present...and I totally forgot to go buy any!!!!

I'm watching Star Wars Ep IV with my mom. She's never seen it before. We're watching the remastered version, but I paused it and asked, "What just happened?" and she thinks Han shot first.

Suzi! I got a snowflake and it made me so happy. ♥
