Over-thinker. Easily distracted by shiny things. Oooh. Shiny.
Happy Christmas, everyone! šš š
Especially to those of us who work in industries that donāt close for the holidays. Iām typing this as I scarf down some of yesterdayās catered feast since I will be soon heading into a 4 hour stretch where Iāll be lucky to have a bathroom break.
Iāve also agreed to work tomorrow even though I originally had the day off. Because Iām a masochist.
It’s Christmas Eve and I just realized I have no tamales. How did this slip past me? Officially the saddest Christmas ever. *cries*
One of our awesome regulars brought in lunch for us today and not only is it a super sweet gesture, but it’s perfect timing because I’ve been so busy I haven’t even gone grocery shopping and yesterday I used up my last can of soup that had been sitting on my shelf for… years… (the “good by” date was in 2014 but I’m still alive so it’s still good).
I originally brought a half-bag of pretzels for lunch but now I get to have a proper sandwich. A minor Christmas miracle.
Happy Holidays, y’all!
I finally have Xmas cards and am planning to mail the out this weekend (yes I realize it’s cutting it close but procrastination is my middle name).
If you’d like to receive something festive in the mail from me, leave me a message with your address and maybe a name, too, because while I have no problem addressing something to jiyongsexxxypants, I don’t want to confuse your mail person (or family).
I’ll be on mobile so I won’t see messages since I still haven’t upgraded the app, but I’ll try to check in tonight if anyone has questions.
Oh, and I’m happy to mail wherever in the world the US postal system will allow, but international peeps will definitely be getting their cards after Christmas.
Am sad because I just realized Iām working the 24th when the local classical station would be live broadcasting The Festival of Nine Carols and LessonsĀ from Kingās College, Cambridge, which is how Iāve habitually celebrated Christmas āin spiritā with my parents, knowing they try to make it to their local cathedralās performance, too.Ā
Is it a full moon tonight? Both the pups and the parents are being extra salty today.
EDIT: I just checked and it’s actually the new moon today. Hmmmm.
Workmate: She’s our age, y’know, twenty-four.
Me, not twenty-four: Yes.
General fyi: I donāt go on tumblr much during the week and if I do, itās on mobile. I stubbornly refuse to āupdateā the app so I donāt really see any messages now theyāve instituted the new messaging system, so donāt think Iām ignoring you. I just donāt see your message.
So I got a little sick earlier today because presumably something I ate didnāt agree with me, which is the worst feeling yāknow, and now Iām mildly paranoid about going to sleep because what if that urge returns while Iām sleeping and I canāt make it to the bathroom fast enough?
Iām listening to Adele while I try to get some work done but I think that was a bad decision because I feel like I instead ought to sit in a leather easy chair, with all the lights off except for maybe a couple of candles, sipping at a double-shot of whiskey as I watch the snow fall.
