#ooc

Seriously, two hours ago I looked at it, said "It's about 4/5th full... it can wait till daylight"

Ha!

BOOM... 6/5ths

grades are all in!

Good, Catnik!

woo

I had a good round of play with Ramona, which has hopefully vented some energy

Getting some new toys for our cats for the holiday. Because the dozens they already have aren't enough.

YAY GRADES IN!

We made cookies and will pack them up tonight.

oh yes

she has a favorite

it is looking raggedy

I made mini mince pies for department party/Secret Santa.

mmmm

Tomorrow evening the plan is to wrap pressies and if I can I want to do a sweep of the upstairs.

oh, still struggling with presents

I have all gifts here. Will wrap later. I have two christmases. One at blood family, one with housemates

three possibly... it's complicated

Assuming i don't get stuck in a blizzard for a lot of extra days Christmas weekend

We're sort of going goblin this year. We'll decorate and have presents, but just for the two of us. Probably go to the movies.

Oh that sounds WONDERFUL

Chinese food for dinner.

On some level it's wonderful. But sometimes I really do miss the big family holidays we had when I was a kid.

Low expectations, Low demands, just cozy and personal

Shhh Rahne, this is no longer about you, I'm co opting your situation for a dream.. 😹

I've got the menu settled and I have scoped out the groceries.
I have presents for everyone I'm getting presents for.
Cookies are made and getting in the mail this week.
Kinda working on a newsletter/book thing.

We spent a ton of money on child's wedding reception this year. For Christmas, they got matching aprons. The end. 🙂

Balance!

Oh checking weather. Uhhm.. I was worried about me, but now I'm wondering if you Ohions and New Yorkers will be okay?

At least, come the weekend

What's it saying?

Well, the Siberian express is what they're calling it? Actually it's plunging hard a bit west of Ohio so it may not be so bad? I maybe borrowing troublee

After this past storm, I'm skeptical. We got some snow, but then a lot of rain. It was messy, but not the huge amount they were saying.

Well, still a few days before this weekend, plenty of time for it to change

this break is very stressful due to timing

the funeral is when I should be home in semester prep

and I could give up NYE with my college friends, I really don't wanna

it's a long time away from home

TeeHee. A bit nippy out there for us.

All we're going to have is rain.

Catnik, I'm sorry, I must have missed something about a funeral?

hugs Sorry, Catnik. i wonder if you can get a kind of bereavement extension?

And yes, Florida maybe the place to be, Shady

Aunt died

Her memorial service is in Philly on Jan 6

So.. going home for xmad, probably weds, because Thursday looks like it will be a storm

I'm sorry, Catnik.
