My parents are kinda bummed to be missing the big NM snow.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
yes, meant to say my condolences, Suzi
Hope the breakdowns have been brief, Burrell?
Not too bad given the chaos around here during the lead-up to the holiday. And the pay off was good
Tamales sound delicious!
Yeah, it's an LA tradition but one we don't always partake in
I think tonight will be movie night, but haven't decided what

There's no chance of you getting stuck here is there?

One of my college friends was not in Dallas, but a few hours away at her in-laws house....while her house in Dallas was destroyed in the tornado. Apparently the roof was ripped off, basically everywhere except in one closet...the closet where her laptop was. Her laptop with updates to her dissertation that had not been backed up to the cloud. She's a divinity student, so she attributed this to the goodness of God. But damn.
Also: this is my new favorite Yuletide fic. OMG. Hilarious. #rogeliban!!

Wow meara, that is a bummer. I'm impressed that your friend is able to focus on the positive, although not being in the house at the time is a huge positive.

Yeah, she's amazing. I just feel so bad for her, that's such a horrible thing to have happen. They're apparently in a hotel, and have USAA, so are hoping it will all be as easy as it CAN be, but that's still going to be a lot more work than anyone wants to do.

Woke up to my hair impressively styled. I think the cats were happy to see me.
Called the roofer & left a message. Next up, shopvac'ing the basement. Then shower, unpack, laundry, restocking the larder.
Hoping this tickle in my throat is just travel hangover, not my brother's plague. I'm taking the rest of my sick leave this week, but I'd like it to be productive.
