Wishing everyone who celebrates it a Happy Christmas; and if you don’t, a peaceful New Year to you and your loved ones.

my happy marriage is set in the same era as demon slayer & i keep expecting to see Inosuke or Tanjiro or a hashira showing up in the background like extras #anime

throw on a european christmas-market video on youtube and it's just kind of really nice.

last year my husband & i decided to appropriate the anceint japanese custom of eating fried chicken on christmas eve & i have to say it's a really solid addition to our holiday celebrations.

i had substack stop sending me newsletters via email and i don't miss them at all.

please tell me I'm not hte only one who numbers, orders and indexes her diaries.

one batch of cookies is out. i'm going to make 2 more tomorrow, one large double batch. now i am tired, having about four hours of sleep which at my age might as well be zero hours.

i'm making taytay's chai sugar cookies ! #taylorswift #swifties easy recipe so if they don't make it till tomorrow i can make more.

this jacket pattern says newborn but i think they mean newborn yeti. it's huge!

i mean i can basically delete thredup now that i got my unicorn dress the other day. i don't know what i'm doing there anymore.

i am very pleased with the winner of this season's great british baking show.

i set my substack to not email me posts and it's been so peaceful i forgot all about substack.

i found a cute pattern to make quilted jackets for my baby yodas. yay. new year's project.

i hate it when people hear about my HH & need to make frequent blood donations & say oh that's great you can donate to so many people! like, dude, i'm not a cow, and it's hard on me. it's not great. f you.

bobwhite has fried chicken again y'all. christmas eve has been saved.

i feel like, for every four episodes of solo leveling, jeff owes me 1 episode of the tay tay doc.

AAHHHHHHH

i'm resetting my etsy shop to sell some of my rare books. i'll keep you posted!

i got my unicorn nap dress today on thredup. my patience paid off!

plans cancelled today, thanks to a bad phlebotomy. oh well.

Iceman: "first I toy, then I destroy". this needs to be on my gravestone.

i thought i was going to do some holiday stuff today but all i did was play chess and watch the Tay Tay doc. #phlebotomyFriday

j put on the lion the witch and the wardrobe & i'm already tearing up *& it's just the opening credits.

if i spent the day in leggings and a sweatshirt, how do i change into leisurewear after dinner?

i said i was going to read this pm and i've just watched a christmas tree on youtube.

got most of my husband's wrapping done today. it never feels like enough. i can't do enough for him if i tried.

this weekend has the potential of FOUR new to me bookstores! so exciting!

i don't really understand what's going on on solo levelling.

nyc keeping it real for #freetibet a motorcade of 6-7 vehicles with flags waving. made me tear up.

finished ascendance of a bookworm, what's next in anime?

Pornhub has released the top most searched terms in the United States and every state searched “industrial crane lifting a dark and dripping shape from an unquiet sea” bc America is going through it,

had a really nice christmas day in manhattan. morgan/renoir exhibit, lunch at xian famous, coffee & snack at swedish church, rock center tree.

moral dilemma: i bought a book today i want to read, but i think my husband would like it too. do i: give it to him for xmas & borrow it; keep it for me and lend it to him; buy a second copy?

it felt good unfollowing all those dumb auctions today. i hope they all lose money on their selfishness #taylorswift #holidaymerch #swiftmas

pound sand resellers i got it!!!

i got the rep bracelet i got it i got it

sorted out mug cabinet, found a lot of mugs for donation, still have a lot of mugs.

i hate when i'm winning and i stalemate.

well that's it for saturday but we did get the apartment Christmased up.

i've said it before but it bears repeating: while i'm not a fan of christian rock, some of those guys know how to smash a christmas song.

i always hope they bring actual holiday cheer & not just end up with resellers but even resellers gotta make a living.

today's accomplishment: sorted christmas pins, found some to donate & found some empty boxes for them so they look nice when i take them to the thrift store.

well my little hot flash fan finally died.

my insta is messed up and that's taken up all of my writing time today.

got a lot done today so i'm prepared if the rest of the week is wallowing in my own crapulence. but seriously it was a good day.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

f'd up anohter endgame but went back and studied the exact scenario i just lost and hopefully won't lose it again. #chess
