Dilema
My grandfather is very fragile. He will probably die sometime this coming year. He has open heart surgery this summer and did not make a full recovery. I want to go see him at family christmas, but that means risking giving him my cold which could make him extremely ill.
Do I go to family Christmas tomorrow and risk exposing him to my germy self?
Things that are awesome:
That my Roku player arrived this morning, in time for my second sick day
Things that are not awesome
I am the snot, voiceless, hacking couch, fevered monster from the lagoon
Driveway - Shoveled
(3/4 I did on my own, 1/4 this older neighbor did while making chit chat about the weather)
((He was not creepy at all, and had dreadlocks to his waist))
Things I AM going to do on sick day even though I...

reopen gym membership
rounder self can work out sick before she has to buy bigger pants

Free ebooks for your Kindle →
overflowing:
Being the frugal shopper that I am, upon receiving my Kindle as a gift for Christmas, I started googling ways to get books on that baby.
I found an article that showed you how to find ebooks available for free download from Amazon. Apparently Amazon doesn’t make them easy to find.
If you’re like me and appreciate the classics, click on the link and happy downloading!

Ordered a Roku for shiny new TV
Realized about an hour later I forgot to order another HDMI cable to go with it. Went to order the HDMI cable, felt stupid paying $7 dollars to ship a $6 dollar cord. So I added two movies to get above $25 to qualify for free shipping. Like my logic?

Happy Christmas to all!
Christmas eve with Steve’s family was really really good. His sister gave me these AWESOME hot pink hello kitty slipper boots, and I got a green alien man, TWO dooney Mickey bags, a pie plate and a DEVILED EGG plate. Awesomeness. And his grandma included me in her gift giving. One of the coolest side effects of my relationship is that I’ve been included in this awesome (sometimes...
And my roommate is now gone for a month!
Which will be kind of lonely, but also kind of great.
She’s going home for break, and to Slovakia. So she’ll be back in the middle of January.
I might paint the bathroom… and walk around naked. Any maybe have a wild party? Dunno…

Oh God, I knew Daniel Radcliffe has used his fame as a platform to discuss LGBT acceptance, but I always forget that Tom Felton joins quite a lot as well.

1. Get a “cuticle nipper”! It’s the best. Trimming your cuticles makes your nails stronger and it makes your manicures look better. Clean it often to prevent infections!
2. File in one direction with a fine grit nail file. Don’t ever clip. If you MUST clip, soak your nails in warm…
Important.

It was a conversation long time coming
Two years ago I was angry. I was angry at almost everything in life. And there was no one around who understood. There were people who nodded and smiled and made affirmative noises. But no one who sat across from me and said “I know,” with the seriousness and sincerity that I felt my anger deserved.
Especially frustrating was my relationship with women I thought ought to get it. Who...

I saw a fight at the bus stop this evening and...
because i was afraid of the many and varied possible consequences. Because the woman who talked to the police after got called a snitch.
That is rape culture. The culture which encourages men to fight, and the witnesses not to call the police.

Work computer servers are down.
Which means I’ve done nothing all morning. People call, I answer, I tell them I can’t help them. I tell them none of the offices can help them, they hang up. Its great fun.
Going to bed later than I hoped and with less...
