Happy December to all and sundry! (LJ seems pretty quiet, so I'm not sure if anyone's still here.)
Things I'm thankful for:
- Movember is over.
- A lovely holiday with asimplechord and her husband, including hockey and gluttony. We made this awesome salad, which I'll be making at home (in a smaller quantity), and A demonstrated how to make scones using a food processor so I can try them using my new b-day gift.
- Work is good and life is good generally.
Slightly cranky-making things:
- Winter is coming or here, which means I walk around restraining the urge to scream at random strangers to blow their damn noses rather than sniffle-snort all the time.
- I'm sort of stalled with 10 lbs to go. My GP is pleased if I just maintain but I want those last 10 lbs, dammit. I'm on hiatus for the holidays though.
- A trollish comment at my other blog really pissed me off. Rather than delete it, I'm going to respond generally and specifically. The TL; DR summary: if you want to be taken as a professional, act like one; readers are buying your book/product, and your personal situation is irrelevant; in short, stop whining and grow the fuck up.
