December, 2023
Things at Home: 3 humans, 2 cats. All is well. I had a few vacation days to use up, so I ended up taking off the entire week before Christmas (everyone else wanted the week after). So with Monday and Tuesday off for Christmas and the two weekends, I was out for twelve days! It was just the three of us for Christmas (Little Brother & Brother-in-Law went to the in-laws) so it was mostly staying home and watching Christmas movies - I think we got nearly all of them in this year.
Things at Work: about the same, but I was out for most of the month, so I didn’t worry about it.
Things Read:
Tinkered Starsong 03 Dome 6 (Gail Carriger, 2023)
Currently Reading:
The Legend of Holly Claus (2004, Brittney Ryan & Laurel Long)
(okay, so I mostly read physical books at work during my lunch break, and fanfic at home, so…)

Currently Watching:
MacGyver: Season 3 (1987 - 1988)
Audio Things:
Welsh History (podcast - episodes 27 & 28)
(being home meant less late-night-eating-alone and fewer podcasts, lol. I did also listen to a lot of Christmas music on AccuRadio, my favorite online music player that I also listen to at work. It uses channels rather than an algorithm and is free with ads)
Current Mood:
