blissmorgan...and welcome to errybuggy who has landed here as part of the great LogOut, protesting Tumblr’s ill-conceived decision to alienate the majority of their user base by cracking down on pornography, erotic images, female nipples and sex workers, yet still failing to do anything about the nazi blogs and white supremacy proliferation on their platform.
For my part, I didn’t realize how much Tumbl-ing had become a regular part of my day until today, when I keep reaching for my phone in quiet moments only to recall that no, I’m not going there today.
We are barreling toward Christmas, which we celebrate in a somewhat secular way - which is to say, no churching. I have suitable gifts lined up for all the Spawn, and stocking stuffing stuff, and fresh wrapping paper for all of it. I still need to get SALM’s present, but it will come after the new year and he doesn’t much mind. Official Holiday Constructs have never been much of a thing for him, but he is content to flow with my tide on that front, so the kids will have a good time.
Yesterday I made the very dangerous decision of telling Youngest he got to pick out our tree, and off we went. First we visited the sale the Boy Scouts Do at the church up the street, where everything left was spindly and small. He sound one he liked though. $45. So off we went to the bank.
Near at my bank is a hardware store and, since we also need a tree stand, we pulled in. And there we noticed trees for sale around the side of the building. “Let’s go look,” I suggested, “just to see.” While we were looking, one of the trees fell over. I gamely went and hauled it upright, and the lad’s eyes got big. “It’s perfect!”
it was $29.

17/12/18 16:34 (UTC)Getting ready for the holidays this year with antibiotics steroids, and rest. My office has been a fertile ground for a cold going around and now it's hit the point where I get to share in the sinus infection joy. Ho Ho Ho.....
Going to see the family for Christmas and that's always a font of mixed feelings. Especially this year. Might as well not be sick for the occasion.
Happy tree and a good start to the week wished for you!

17/12/18 18:00 (UTC)The spice-rack and I are figuring out Yule and Christmas plans. My Life Partner is also pagan, but has a rare chance to spend time with a new partner of his on Yule for overnight, but my boyfriend is Jewish, so his winter holiday is over now and won't really be doing Christmas, obviously. Which means I may end up having a solo Yule, and then go do Christmas with Life Partner's family who aren't aware of either the paganism or the polyamory. Joy. But honestly it's worth it to have my people all happy and safe. That's the real reason for the season after all.
