Christmas notes

It never fails. I probably can go back through the 20+ years of this blog and find at least 80% of the entries for Christmas and New Years coincide with Doug catching a cold. 

Which means, about 3-7 days later, I catch the cold. 

Which is not cool, I am thinking of going down to Richmond to see John this weekend, and Doug is sitting here in the living room where I work, coughing, hacking, complaining. Playing a game on his phone. Putting music on ("Am I allowed to listen to music?" he asks. sure - take your ass upstairs and get out of my space?)

I need to finish putting my office together. really and truly. Need to not be sitting here any longer. 

I feel fantastic right now. He's been unwell for two days and now has hit the "I am completely incapable" phase of having a cold. 

Must just say I'm tremendously relieved I do not have small children that I need to create The Magic Of Christmas for, because ... well. Ain't no magic gonna happen here this holiday. 

And longtime readers know we have a Slacker Christmas philosophy. We don't put a lot of effort in anyway, But I do feel like this is extra nothing. Doug blames Henry. "Henry probably brought a cold in here and gave it to me when he came in the living room yelling "Six Seven! Six Seven!" and then farting. A lot. I caught this from Henry's farts." 

Doug doesn't ever want anything for Christmas, usually we plan something together to do and spend our money on that. I want raised garden beds, probably 3, and we'll go shopping for those or order them online. Doug got the aforementioned treadmill, which is a gift to all 3 of us. I wanted to get Geoff some new PJ pants because his are trashed, but I never ordered any and didn't go to the store. I'll be sure to do that for him soon. 

Today I planned that trip to go up to Massachusetts. I'll be leaving here with Jess on the 3rd of January. And C is going to rescue me from my mom's on Friday.  I will fly home on Sunday the 11th, and stay with C for Fri/Sat night. 

A big project we've all been working on is to update aall our help documentation, and I finished mine today. Thank Goodness. Now I have to do a test plan for a new product and start writing documentation for that, and retire the help documents for the product it is replacing. Such incredible fun and joy. 

Anyway. No picture today. Digits below! Happy Christmas if you're reading this and celebrate in kind.
