I'm coming to the conclusion that I may well be one of the most boring people I know. I used to do strange things, and have adventures. Now, all adventures must be planned in advance to avoid stressing my body into rebellion, and the strangest thing I do is give the hamster kisses on his little fuzzy head.

Most days, Jess and her fibro have more energy than I do. (Current Finals insanity notwithstanding) Movies must be considered carefully and weighed against their potential for causing a vicious migraine. Even restaurants have to be debated, so as not to piss off my delicate post-ulcer stomach. Someone needs to explain to me how the tummy can handle McDonalds, yet Wendy's makes me hurl.

But hey, Christmas/Solstice is coming! And that's kinda awesome. We're house/kitty sitting from Christmas Eve until January 4th. Jess heads down to San Antonio on the 23rd, to have Christmas with her parents. I on the other hand am staying in Baltimore. On Christmas, I'll have family time until around 2:00 pm, then, I'll go check the house/kitties, then I fly to San Antonio for 2 days, and fly back with Jess on Sunday afternoon.

All in all, it should be a lot of fun. I get to go to the theater with Jess and her parents Saturday night and see Cats! I've actually never seen it, since I wasn't a huge fan of musicals. I've relaxed that in the last few years, and thoroughly enjoyed Rent and Phantom, so of course I agreed to go have kitties shoving their tail in my face.

I'm thinking that from the 31st-Jan 2nd or 3rd, we'll spend down at the house/kitty sitting, and enjoy a little quiet time. Then, tis back to the grind. Still, it'll be a fun vacation, and more excitement than we've had since Wincon.

And now, I shall go back to calling insurance companies about their botched claims. Dumbasses.

The Christmas break sounds exactly what you need and very much deserved *nods*

*nod* I think so!

Cats is the first Broadway musical I ever saw. I was eight. I remember being completely enamoured. It's not currently my favorite musical because I don't adore the structure of it, but it's definitely a fun musical with lots of great dancing. Hey it's been running for a billion years, theres a reason it's popular. *g*

I'm sorry your body is being angry and it makes you feel like you don't have adventures anymore. I feel like you have adventures because everytime you write a story I go on an adventure, but I can see how that might not be as physically satisfying as an impromptu trip to the beach.

I just wanted to let you know I've been re-reading Deathknell and I continue to love your story to bits and pieces. I already dropped a note in your wife's journal, but I figured repeating accolades is never a bad thing. (I wanted to type "alcolades" which makes me think of alcohol and lemonade which might be the best idea ever and I think I should try it.)

Mmm...alcolades.... I could go for some of that right now.

Because McDonald's is recycled plastic and Wendy's actually makes some attempt at human-like foods?

You know, I hang around you a lot...just because you're not leaping on a plane to go to Brazil this afternoon doesn't make you boring. I can EASILY say that I am never bored when I'm hanging with y'all.

*snuggle* That's because you're a sweetheart.

Hahaha. You have spent enough time around ME to know that's not really true. *g*

Cat's was the only musical I would ever buy tickes for when it was on Broadway and on tour. Given the fact that I have musicals, that says a lot.

Thanks again for the cat sitting service ... I will leave you notes on the important stuff.

My pleasure. It's always nice to have somewhere to run away to for a few days!

*pets*
You never "appear" boring, does that help :) I look forward to seeing what you and Jess have been up to in your daily lives, not just your fics.
I know it'll sound odd, but just knowing that you find the will power to go to work amazes me. I'm jealous honestly, I'm still not allowed to go back because of my migraines. So, I understand the planning sentiment completely. I've actually apologized to many of my friends for being "selfish" this year.

*hug* Thank you. I just miss being able to say "hey, you want to run up to _______?" and then going. As opposed to the current bodily negotiations.

I hope the coming year gets better for you!
