I thought I'd get Christmassy with my silly little game of the week. I haven't done one for a while. Apologies about that.
Anyhow, to make up for it, I bring you Santa, haplessly brought down in mid flight into zombie land.
Help him save the reindeer!!!
So, I guess, Merry Christmas and stuff.
- 09:47 @amalah I've always wanted to try red, but have been too scared. You are much braver than I am. #

Wed
- No clean + unwrinkled clothes to wear so I went to work in a new black dress (the one that looks frumpy on the hanger but FABU on me) with tights and boots.
- Went to AAA for San Diego travel info for BA (they were surprisingly lacking in quality offerings) and my handicap parking placard
- Laughed when a guy caught me staring at him because he was boppin' his head to Jingle Bells. Not Jingle Bell Rock, or some hip remix of Jingle Bells, but the traditional, fairly slow, classic version. He laughed too.
- Spent 5 hours at the office doing nothing but surfing the internet. Planned to spend only 2 but the boss had come in (she was supposed to be off) and it seemed rude to come in after, and leave before, her.
- Laughed when the last person (of about 8) to sign off on a huge pile of docs, that HAD to be signed by the end of the day, declared that he was going to veto all of them. Left my cube when the verbal fight started.
- Hit rush hour traffic
- Considering running errands at Target till I saw the parking lot - it's 3x the size of the store and was FULL. I didn't even turn in, just took another route and went to Walgreen's instead.
- Picked up a new light timer (the old one blew out a week ago - leaving a puff of black smoke on the wall), OJ, cranberry juice (for cocktails), and a mini crockpot (finally, after a year, I got the desire for a crockpot out of my system - for only $6.99!)
- Talked to Juls for about an hour
- Had 2 turkey sandwiches & 2 madras (vodka, cran, OJ - except I used rum) for dinner
- Heard someone knock on my door at 10:20pm. Thinking it was C, and in a good mood from watching CougarTown (LOVE that show), I decided to answer it. As I stood up, I heard that it was Mitchell (homeless guy), and got PISSED.... WTF is he doing, coming around that late at night?!? And that's about the 4th night in a row he's been here. I sat back down and continued watching TV without acknowledging that I could hear the door.
- Went to bed around 11:30 and tossed and turned till after 2am.
- Had strange dreams. Don't remember them - just that they were strange.
- Up at the crack of 2:20pm - because a police helicopter was circling overhead and I couldn't sleep through it (otherwise, I probably wouldn't have gotten up at all today)
- Had another turkey sandwich.
- Put prednisone drops (left over from feline ophthalmologist visits) in Skritches eye (did so yesterday too and it's looking much better)
- Went to PetSmart for a ton of cat litter. I'd like to believe it will last awhile but, it won't. I also got wet food (shrimp; no wheat gluten) and a 1/2 price stocking full of toys for the "kids".
- Got a triple hot peppermint mocha and a mint biscotti (for later)
- Decided I'd have tamales (bought them a couple days ago) for dinner so I stopped at a mexican restaurant for beans, rice, guaca, sour cream, chips, and salsa.
- Checked out a RedBox only to find all the decent movies were not available. I was not surprised. I have 5 netflix at home but I'm pretty sure 4 are TV shows (2 of MadMen and 2 of Extras; I don't know what the 5th DVD is)
- Went into 7eleven for soda (2 liters of Coke for $3). Watched 4 people ahead of me buy $40 of scratchers (lottery tix). Each.
- Dumped all the trash and recycling
- Cleaned up all the misc inappropriate poopings, dumped all the dirty cat litter, and hauled in 1/2 of the new litter (it's sooo heavy!).
- Left the front door partially open for fresh air (it stinks in here; I left the security screen closed & locked), went to do something in the back of the house, came back by the door and was startled by Mitchell saying something. I refused to go to the door and simply asked, "What do you want, Mitchell?" He got attitudy. I asked a second time. He threw more attitude. So I walked off and continued chores. Now I'm happily enjoying having doors & windows open without fear of being disturbed (even though I figure I have a week, max, before he tries again).
- Threw the dirty linens in the laundry.
- Put the featherbed on my bed, then fresh linens
- Put away the clean dishes.
- Washed most of the dirty dishes (left the heavy duty stuff, like the rotisserie bars from my Foreman rotisserie, soaking in dishwasher solution (works WAY better than plain dish soap))
- Refilled the large litter box (thought about bringing in the auto litter box but I wasn't ready to deal with it)
- Realized I've been coughing for 2 days. I think it's my "asthmatic bronchitis" I need to find my new inhaler.
- Came back to play on the computer and watch ABC's comedy lineup tonight... "Prep & Landing" (which I've been trying to see for 3 weeks) and more CougarTown.
- Just realized I have heartburn (I haven't even eaten anything!! Gotta be from the coffee)
- Keep looking at my delivery from Newport-News but won't open it cause I'm afraid I'll be disappointed with the items (slacks, sweater, and reversible jacket)... either bad quality, won't fit, or both.
- Fed the kitties their Christmas dinners and now they're all sleeping. Where should I hang their stocking of toys?
- Had beef tamales, rice, beans, chips, and rum & coke for dinner. Now I'm kinda ready to sleep too.
I am totally totally totally looking forward to Saturday night's food fight!!!
