Ooh! I just realized that I’ve been so wrapped up in heated Rivalry that I forgot Christmas also means Yuletide! To the fanfic mines!
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Lucked out with 2 days off. Really hoping for some snow or ice overnight so I can wfh tomorrow, but it’s not looking good.
Yesterday I cleaned and culled.
Today I lounged. Now knitting.
I’ll pick up the cleaning on the weekend again.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
msbelle, looks like cold and frosty tonight and tomorrow morning, but not likely to rain until the afternoon and evening, sorry: [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm at my dad's, and my sister came over today. So we got Chinese food and watched a streaming movie and hung out for a while.

Aeryn doesn't like Chinese food so we made crepes! I prepped a bunch of fillings and set up a little assembly line, and they were delicious. Kids are making dessert crepes now while I lounge.

Ooh crepes sounds tasty! I made Chex mix and puppy chow. I figure I’ll snack on both on my drive this weekend.

I'm watching the Call the Midwife Christmas special with my dad, who last watched this show probably five years ago. He keeps getting excited when he sees a character he recognizes.
I might stay up late to watch the Heated Rivalry finale when it's posted at midnight -- I've been sleeping on a really weird schedule anyway. I'll see how awake I am then.

I need to be up early because my sibs & niblings are coming over for breakfast, so I'll just be on a social media fast until I have time for an hour alone with HBO. (Yeah I know what happens but I don't want to watch the entire ep through Instagram edits before I actually watch it for real.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda and her beau have come back up from their nap in the Garden Apartment.
I made them a lovely, rich, nourishing, soul-warming soup from the Thanksgiving stock and turkey pot roast leftovers.
Storm continues to roll in on tumultuous waves, so I've switched to hot cider with cognac and a few small Lavender/Lemon shortbread cookies.

Went to the gay bars here, which were hopping. Picked up a sweet older man who shared my love of Heated Rivalry and his husband, went to a different bar, was v amused by all the boys, came home and it’s not yet 8pm. Poor planning on my part—I’ve had a drink and now want to go to sleep.
