Day 2,251: Number One Seed

The Niners are the number one seed in the NFC. That won’t mean jack shit to anyone who doesn’t follow football, but it means a lot to 49er fans

Day 2,250: Rise

Saw Rise of Skywalker tonight. It was…

A fitting end to this series of films. Which is to say: mostly a shit show. But honestly, I don’t have any vitriol left in me. It’s over now. Why get upset or use so much breath. It’s done. The trilogy is complete. I’m ready to move on.

I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it. I didn’t care.

We SAW the move becauuusseee…today was my brother’s birthday. Happy Birthday Scott! And as I type this, it’s tomorrow in Germany, so it means it’s my brother Seth’s...

Day 2,250: One Day Off

Somehow I’m one day off on my blog count. Blerg.

Pretty chill day. Just took care of the pups and hung out, really. Then I got to hang with Scott in downtown tonight! Oh, that was fun. We ate dinner together at a burger place that had the most DELICIOUS tater tots. Omg. Jalapeño cheese tots. To die for.

Then we walked around downtown together. Got me a beanie. It’s a super nice one from North Face, and it was only $26. Kept my head and my ears warm. It’s fleece lined around the bottom of it....

Day 2,249: So Long Ago

Man. It really turns from Christmas to not-Christmas super freaking fast, doesn’t it?

Like…Christmas feels so far away already! And it was only yesterday!

Anywho, making this one quick since it’s late…but the sick family member is finally feeling better! Fever gone, or gone for all intents and purposes. They were able to actually move around and hang out today. So, that’s good. And I did NOT wake up feeling sick. I’ve managed to avoid the sickness thus far, knock on freaking wood. Hopefully I...

Day 2,248: An To All A Good Night

Wonderful Christmas Day. Got to spend it with family on both sides. Ho-Westins in the morning, and Heinichen-Virta’s in the evening.

And now I’m tired…which of course has me worried right now that I’m coming down with the sickness that has afflicted this trip. Not yet, though. Right now just feeling tired…

We’ll see in the morning, won’t we?! It’s the fracking flu. It’s not going to stay a mystery for long

Day 2,247: Merry Christmas Eve

One of the clan still sick today, but it all went off without a hitch.

Got to exchange Secret Santa gifts with the Heinichen family in the morning, including Seth and Lena and Henri (plus Lena’s parents!) all the way out in Germany. That was wonderful. I got a lamp for my craft desk! I’m so excited for it. It’s huge!

Day 2,246: All Wrapped Up

Couple main tasks nicely took up pretty much my entire day today: I helped Lin get his new computer all set up, and I went over to Scaddie’s and wrapped my presents for tomorrow.

Yes, indeed, we are doing our secret santa gift exchange tomorrow morning this year instead of actual Christmas Day because of Seth and Lena out in Germany–time difference–which actually works out perfect, because Liz and I will be able to do Christmas morning over here at J and Mike’s house, so it’s nicely split up...

Day 2,245: Christmas Traditions

We have a few Christmas traditions round here…and one of them, unfortunately, is that someone always gets sick
