Last night it got properly cold for the first time this year. I remembered to cover the aloe but forgot about my basil plant out front, but it seems fine!
The local covid infection rate just dropped very slightly. This is the first drop in months. I am feeling something strange. Is it hope?
My husband got ahold of Comcast and now we’re paying $5 less than we were ($20 less than it jumped to) and have 25% higher speeds.
Its not really a personal victory but
During covid my work went to using single use plastic containers for all our lunch (and if we wanted to take away dinner and breakfast) but as of today we are allowed to use our own reusable containers!
So much less waste and landfill and plastic.
I texted my neighbors two houses down to tell them their holiday decorations look great.
Truth
The decorations do not look great, they are tacky as hell and include an inflatable Santa wearing a camo Santa suit… but it’s been a damn hard year and they seemed so happy putting it all up, I wanted to reinforce that joy for them.
Camo Santa… lol.
HAHA
You are a good person and the best possible neighbor I can imagine.
Is camo santa a hunter or just a redneck? I could picture scenarios for either.
There is fanfic happening in my head.
A neighbor on our default dog walking loop has such a Santa. I am torn, it is like the current ads for James Earl Jones (aka Darth Vader) reading the Bible.
The original Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is on my tv.
By original I assume you mean the Rankin Bass claymation?
I don’t know that name, it’s the one from 1964 that Burl Ives narrated. I love it! Maybe it’s not the original? But it’s the only one I’ve known.
ETA google tells me this is the same show.
The Rankin Bass Christmas movies are my childhood.
My son’s dad does stop motion so all the Rankin Bass films were a mandatory holiday tradition
I think we are close in age, so they were my childhood too. And… also my adulthood. Lol
Bigger kid and I made danishes. They are a mess but smell amazing. Soon I will have all of them in my mouth.
Hmmm I have puff pastry in my freezer…
I made my lunch at a good time for my stomach.

That’s the victory.
