Well, this uninsured, living under the poverty-level, pre-existing condition-riddled citizen is taking a moment to say - YAY! It's been a long time coming...

I'll focus on the fight day after tomorrow - I'm gonna enjoy the glow for a day.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Re: What if (none / 1)

Sounds excellent. Despite my current rush of warm fuzzies, I've actually declared a moratorium on Christmas this year -- I'm still not fully recovered from a hellish Thanksgiving! -- so I'm just taking it easy, which is nice. I do have to go to a dinner tonight, but there's no gifts involved, so should be fairly low-key. I might wear my red shoes, though.

Where?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: What if (none / 0)

Umm, .. shrek and Victorian farm. Plus I videoed 6 days 7 nights and Bridgett Jones from last night which I'm watching today.

And booze lowers the threshold of what's watchable anyway.

Re: What if (none / 1)

and forgive me that I was a little too "content" to ask how your xmas eve is going. Even if it's early afternoon over your way.

Re: What if (4.00 / 2)
