I feel like Karma is on the 80-year plan.

How big is the rotunda, and how conducive to super-spreading?

Many villains, no superheroes.

I had the privilege of waking him from a nap once. He was very kind.

This is true. Why would someone want to sell themselves short by embracing the worst qualities? Aim higher.

Oh, no! Well, next time.

So often it seems we are shouting into the wind. We meet deception and gall with fact and reason, and they don’t care. They double down or simply pivot to a new lie. I’m not saying we stop. I know we can’t . I’m saying it’s painful to experience.

These are not serious people.

Looks delicious!

Yes, awful. Seeing homes and businesses on the PCH burn was somehow more shocking to me than the other footage. I guess because I’ve driven that stretch many times, and also because it’s strange to imagine fire meeting sand/ocean.

I’m distracted by the Palisades fire today. Holding all affected in my thoughts.

You’ve just saved my marriage.

I did πŸ˜‚ It actually helped me to regroup and get back to work in the afternoon. I love nap season!

Today’s mistake: eating a bowl of homemade mac and cheese for lunch and expecting to have a productive afternoon.

Yes, my tree and lights are still up, too. I also have a ceramic tree with little lights on it that I’m keeping on the mantel for now because it makes me happy.

I love a grumble. And I admire your political efforts!

What is this Christmas card box of which you speak?

Really! Hmm. That’s interesting. I’m not sure what the difference is, but if she’s happy then all is well.

Haha I had one gnome in my living room all year. This year it’ll be an acorn.

It was. I still have the tree and the lights up to give us one more night of beauty. Baby steps.

I believe there is no algo here. If it helps, you can have a look at the people I’m following and then follow the folks you recognize from Threads. There are also a bunch of starter packs, but beware: they tend to be very big, and the accounts in them get inundated by followers.

Right? Thanks. I’m currently having a rest because it was a little exhausting. Soon I’ll rally.

The rabbits breathe a sigh of relief.

I have succeeded at putting all of the ornaments away and then finding stray ornaments that I can’t bring myself to put away.
