Day #282 - Merry Christmas Redux
Dec. 25th, 2020 03:53 pmLovely day so far - okay not so lovely outside - but I see a spark of sun peeking beyond the clouds, which appear to be slowly drifting northward. We didn't really get the storm that they predicted. Just rain, no winds, no lighting, none of that. Just rain. And it was over by ten am or mid-morning.
Chose not to walk around the cemetery today - in honor of those visiting it to see loved ones. And until this moment - it's been kind of bleak and over cast. Right now it's clearing off and I actually see streaks of sun and blue between the clouds. It'll be dark soon enough and the Cemetery closes at five. Takes me at least twenty minutes to get there.
I was hot this morning, so opened a window and turned on the air conditioner. Then it got cooler and I closed the window. (Why the window, as opposed to turning off the a/c? Ah, allergies. The a/c cleans the air. It's a window a/c in the bedroom.)
The littlest Christmas Tree.
Talked parents (on speaker - making it almost impossible to understand them), and Wales also on speaker - and it was actually easier to understand her (no, she wasn't with my parents - this was separately). All appear to be hanging in there and having an okay and overall pleasant Christmas. Wales sound cheerier than usual or expected.( Read more... )
I'm enjoying mine in spite of the circumstances. I don't really mind being alone or on my own (as you all know by now) - also I'd be miserable with my parents right now. ( Read more... )
Santa was kind to me this year, no coal in the old stocking. See, I got the fluffy UGG slippers from Papa.
( my ugly feet in slippers )
In other news..
I was scrolling through my DW correspondence list...(which is really just a handful of folks, most people who have friended me and vice versa appear to be lurkers or left entirely). Anyhow..one of the entries was "Buffy versus Fanfiction" - or that's what I read, I did a doubletake, and alas no, it was Buffy verse Fanfiction. I was disappointed. So if you've made it thus far and have a clue what I'm talking about and are looking for a Buffy fanfic challenge - try that one. Come on, it's begging to be writ.
Anyhow, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. And happy Friday to those who don't.
One more week - and we can possibly all get out of 2020 alive.
Off to watch Wonder Woman! And maybe make dinner. It doesn't require much. I have pre-prepared sirlon steak, cauliflower parmesene mash, broccoli and fingerling potatoes - that just require heating up and searing. And an apple pie - heat up. So about 15-20 minutes tops. I can wait until 6 or 7 to do it.
