When I was home for the holiday this past week, the Papas said that they needed my new address for a Christmas card. I thought nothing of it as they do send out holiday cards And then I received an amazing InstaPot /air fryer this afternoon from them! It’s HUGE and I love it. We’re going to make something in it this week. I can’t wait!
And then! The Christmas Bunny got me a new Christmas tree!

Fen and I were in a holiday movie mood this evening. We first thought to watch Die Hard. Instead, we settled on another Christmas classic: the live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey.

I am in fucking agony. All of me hurts and I don’t know why. The weather? My meds need adjustment? The higher power remind me that I can be nerfed from orbit or just betrayed by my own body?

I’ll hydrate once I’m sure I can keep it down.
Take your meds, folks.
