Of Vodka and Violence

There is great disturbances in the United States right now. Some white terrorists stormed the Capital Building earlier today and ransacked the place. They were not treated as the BLM protestors were. At all. And I am shaking in rage at the unfairness of it all.

So I’m going to focus on what I can control.

Of Curry and Christmas Cards

12,953 Days Alive

9 New Ebooks Purchased (For free!)

2 Christmas Cards Received

We had a jarred curry sauce over Morning Star Farms fake chicken tonight. Fen made it with some peas and carrots and served it over 90 second rice. It was really good. I added too much hot sauce and made my nose run though.

Speaking of hot sauce, I wore the first pair of Taco Bell socks today. They were great!

Work went…okay. There were two tubs of mail to process so it took me over two hours to scan everything in.

When I got home, though, I had a Christmas card waiting from both Papa Ben and Pop Tom as well as from my friend Savvy! She sent the cutest Grinch card and wrote a very sweet message inside.

I haven’t gotten any writing done, unfortunately. I was in too much pain after work to focus on writing. Or reading. Or crocheting for longer than ten minutes at a time. So it was a few episodes of Murder, She Wrote and a bowl of frosted mini wheats for dessert.

My brain is fried. I’m going to go read for a bit, if I can.

Take your meds, folks.
