Today was… difficult. Not without its lovely moments though. I found myself thinking of Daddy a lot today. He was always big on Christmas, or at least the giving gifts and embracing the heart of the season. I miss his laugh. I miss him.

I only had to work a half day today, which was awesome. I love the camaraderie of holiday work days. Everyone is so supportive of each other at my workplace and it’s really nice.

3rd Rewatch of Muppet Christmas Carol
I’m exhausted today and want to go to bed. So that’s what I’m going to do. We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.
Work was hard today. I didn’t get any writing done. But it’s Yule. So. Happy Yule my friends. May the longest night dawn in brightness for you all.
Take your meds, folks.

So, after a scan six hours or less of sleep, I took J and Bill6 to the airport this morning. I managed to avoid napping the whole day somehow and got three loads of laundry done.

Spock woke me up at five-fricking-thirty this morning. And none too nicely either. But I got up long enough to medicate myself and feed him; then he let me go back to bed undisturbed.

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.

Boy was today a wonky but enjoyable day. I didn’t get much sleep last night. Just couldn’t shut down until after four a.m. I’m hoping I can bunk down here in the next few. I’m tired.
But a good tired.

So, I’m up visiting J and Bill6 for the weekend. We started a small Dungeons and Dragons game this afternoon. I’m playing a half-elf, city born,thief/rogue that would rather be sailing than anything. Her name is Eldoris Denton. Her ma is human, her paternity an unspecified elf. It was a hoot.

I didn’t get the ten thousand words written that I wanted to today. I got lost down a rabbit hole of research. It is highly unlikely I will hit 50,000 words this month. I could cheat, and just say that I did it, but I’m not going to.

So, I woke up this morning scared out of my wits because I thought someone was in my room. While it was still dark out, I woke up and could have sworn someone was standing in the middle of my room, looking for something. Scared a year off my days, for sure.
