(no subject)
I am sleep deprived, medicated (Benadryl), and mom spiked the apple cider! Apart, those are enough to effect brain function - together, they pretty much cut off higher brain function entirely.
Cannot brain today, I have the dumb.
That said, Happy Christmas! I've spent the day alternately cleaning and cooking. Attacked the bookshelves and the top of my wardrobe in my room today, and then Dad brought Gramma home for the holiday and we spent a good chunk of the afternoon making popcorn balls. Will hopefully get around to baking the rest of the cookies tonight, too, but as I mentioned before, Maren tiiiiiiiiiiiired. Might save that for a project tomorrow.
Still have rather icky weather, which has been extremely indecisive on whether it wants to rain or snow all day. The worst of the storm should *supposedly* move out of the area tomorrow morning, but I'm not getting my hopes up since the low pressure system creating all the icky weather is strong enough to pretty much fill up the bottom two layers of the atmosphere, so it can do whatever the hell it wants and is, in fact, retrograding and moving *toward* the west at this point. Gotta love Ma Nature.
Christmas Dinner was extremely tasty. Mom made ham and twice baked potatoes, both of which were extremely good eatin'. I managed not to stuff myself too badly, but I'm definitely looking forward to leftovers.
Rest of the family is currently sitting around the kitchen table (we just finished dinner) reading letters my grampa wrote back during WW2, the ones he wrote around Christmas, to be exact. It's pretty neat hearing what he was doing - which mostly involved getting in trouble, or so it sounds. :)
So, yeah. I'd call this a pretty damned good Christmas. And I hope everyone else had an equally enjoyable holiday as well.
