Watching Genesis of the Daleks on Britbox. It's that rare #DoctorWho series that runs for six episodes and yet doesn't feel padded.

@cjcrew Do I HAVE to ignore the paczkis? I am all about that filled pastry life.
Ernie is just the cutest little button!
@smittycanada1 Yikes. That does lack that certain wistful quality, doesn't it? Hope you're able to catch some Z's later.
About 5:30 in the morning on Christmas Eve Day. Nobody up but me and the cat. Drinking my coffee in front of the glowing monitor.

Update: Negative.
Feeling a little off, so I self-tested just in case. It is testimony against the notion of "intelligent design" that we have touch receptors that far up in the nasal cavity. Ugh.
First day of winter break, and we're in the middle of what the papers are calling "the Grinch storm." Rain, high winds, five different weather alerts in the AccuWeather app. Power's getting knocked out all over the state, just before temps plummet.
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime.
@The_USA_Singers Unless it speaks in the voice of William Daniels, I want nothing to do with it.

I feel sick and embarrassed even asking, particularly around the holidays, and I wouldn't be if I had any other option but I really don't see any right now. I'm out of heating oil I've been heating my house with space heaters for the past 2 days and I need to get 100 gallons of oil but I just don't have the money to do it. If anyone can help, I would be beyond grateful. I can give the name of my oil company, if people are more comfortable with that. #CoSoMutualAid
So I have a three-day work week ahead of me, followed by a week and a half of paid holiday time off. Working in an academic setting has its advantages, I must say.

I just want to re-up this. Lt Gen (Ret.) Mike Flynn pleading the Fifth to the question: "Do you believe in the peaceful transfer of power?"

There's a stockade on some lonely, god-forsaken Army base that desperately needs this man living in it for the rest of his miserable life.

Posted as an attempt to get it out of my head.
Missing Persons - Destination Unknown
@Susandoyle I never had kids, but I know just enough to know how unusual that is. Hopefully that cheerful disposition stays with her through life.
