Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Punishingly Intricate
Consuela, that meal sounds amazing!
I had to have several conversations about BALTIMORE and what it all means at family get together last night. Kind of exhausting but I think I was able to take control of the conversations adequately. I hope. I did say I thought, basically, you either supported the Black Lives Matter movement or you were rascist.maybe not the most subtle argument ever.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Well really, if you won't say "Black Lives Matter", you can't say "All Lives Matter".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And WS nails it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And to top off that wonderful night, husband woke up in the middle of the night with food poisoning.

He's okay this morning, but we have clearly pissed off some minor god, because in addition to the food poisoning, the A/C, and the hole in the ceiling, both times we've been out to restaurants, the food has taken forever, and we've ended up with comped meals and some kind of compensation. Which is okay, but I'M SORRY, THESPIS, WHATEVER I DID.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh dear, Dana. I hope he is better today.
Mousehole update
I have read that if you spread around some used kitty litter it will convince the vermin that somewhere else is a better place to be.
Merry Christmas! I should start cooking soon. Let's see, menu is roast beef, mashed potatoes & gravy, chickpea/spinach tart, green beans w/lemon/Dijon/dill sauce, tasty sounding brussels sprouts/sweet potato/quinoa thing, wild rice & pears thing, and a bunch of other things. I think we have more vegans/vegetarian people at this point than carnivores. Right now it is hard to think about making food because I have been sampling vw bug's peppermint bark. Oh my that is so yum.

Oh, no, Dana! I really hope that run of badness has come to an end.

I am not gonna do that in my kitchen. Just no. If I find other holes elsewhere in the house, maybe, as a temporary emergency measure.
One of the cats has taken to just hanging out in there, though. Listening for mice, I imagine. She looks so contented. She's always done that some, but almost constantly lately.
You know what's funny? I have an actual fire going and am still tempted to put on one of the many video yule logs that are available (Streaming fireplaces! That is more hilarious to me than being broadcast for some reason)
