Boiled peanuts in the crock pot, splash of Kaluha in my coffee and no work for four days. Merry Christmas Idiots
Given the year I’ve had, this is debatable. That said, good came along with the bad, as it always does. Last week I was a virtual Santa for about a dozen families with little kids, as part of a fundraiser for my daughter’s high school. I had the full beard and costume and spoke in what I hope was a decent Santa voice. It was a blast watching the kids light up, and some really got into it. I was surprised that some of the parents got into it as well. The parents sent in some information on each child, trying to keep up the illusion of my omniscience. I was asked to tell one 5 year old boy that his grandpa in heaven loved him and is proud of him. Got me a little choked up, I have to admit.
We did it, after mine slipped right off my finger into the Chesapeake Bay. Wife's engagement ring and wedding band are in the safe. Our rings are suppose to represent wind and water. Have you chosen a design or just going for a black stripe.
2020 started off with my therapist telling me to take literally any job so I would get out of the apartment and interact with people every day. I took a job and worked there for barely a month before COVID. It's been 100% remote ever since. I'm exactly as isolated as I was before, I now just have deadlines as well. So yeah, great advice Doc.
We're getting our names done. And all these years, I always said that I'd NEVER get a woman's name tattooed...
I have been pretty strict dieting most of this year down 30 lbs from this time last year. Started Keto diet in May with a coworker and have had 3 total cheat meals. We decided this week was fuck it week. Ive went whole hog on Christmas candy and Doritos. My stomach feels like deeeaaaaath. This weekend Im planning on playing video games and hunting this coyote I saw last week.
I ate a 22oz ribeye tonight from a local butcher who puts all other beef I've ever eaten to shame. I also drank more than a bottle of red wine after several beers. My current state is summarized thusly:
I don’t know what’s more scary: the fact that mall kiosks still exist, or the fact that there are still people willing to work in them. I think would just rather be homeless.
I have a rib roast in the fridge, salted. I am not an experienced cook, and rubbing salt into raw meat made my mild OCD bump up a few notches. But I think I’ll be making a damn good roast for a novice. Merry Christmas y’all.
LMAO what the fuck, man? Alex Winter made a response video: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nj.com/entertainment/2020/12/alex-winter-posts-pitch-perfect-sendup-of-kevin-spacey-video-you-would-never-know-i-was-from-nj.html?outputType=amp This is the first year I won’t be at my parent’s house for Christmas, but I’d much rather not infect them for the sake of upholding a tradition. It was really nice to wake up in my own place, though. Merry Christmas, Idiots. I hope you all have an enjoyable day.
TW: sappy bullshit I’ve gotten pretty grinchy over the past few years, just with all of the running around and the over the top gift giving and intense family expectations. I was honestly looking forward to Christmas essentially being cancelled this year. But now that it’s here, I am definitely a little bummed out and am missing the family and the chaos. I guess thanks, rona, for reminding me to appreciate the madness. Merry Christmas, idiots, thanks for still being here and continuing to put up with me. I hope you all have good/safe/healthy holidays! Now it’s time to eat pie for breakfast and make a large pot of coffee and brace for a series of family zooms.
