That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The last of the Midwest family xmas ritual is done. Today's installment was probably the best day of the trip, but the whole thing has been a long exercise in not my home, not my family (some of whom I frankly just don't like much), not a holiday I celebrate or have great love for, inedible food, pointless mansplaining and shouting matches, nonstop Christian privilege, and general I don't wanna. At least we get to go home tomorrow.

(Thank you for the whining space; can't really do it anywhere else)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least you get to go home tomorrow, amych.

I want to make a buche de noel. Not this year, obviously, especially since I'm leaving town tomorrow, but maybe next year.

Dana, you have really had a cavalcade of crap! Ugh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That sounds effortful and draining, amych.

Going home tomorrow sounds like a good idea.

Well, we have a basement. One cell's passed, another coming.

Fingers crossed, sarameg. And keep us posted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Stay safe, sarameg!

I have decided to reverse my dishwashing workflow to go right to left, or counterclockwise.

And that sounds unfun, amych. Well worth whining about.

Pressure steaming my frozen shu mai did not go great. Still edible, but kinda melty. A learning experience.
