It’s only the seventh day of Christmas, y’all—we’re just now at the swans—so let’s slow down on the undecorating.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Avid Writers’ Collective is having to move. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that we’re moving into a space that’s haunted. 👻

Dystopian sci fi in which an actual person delivers your food to your table, answers your call, rings your doorbell.
Yeah, that’d be nice.

Now are the days whose names no longer matter, that listless week, the time of sweatpants and napping, of random leftovers, of reading and of football, of newly gifted socks.
This is our own little Upside Down, a spirit realm which visits us but once a year.
Welcome, friends, to the Void.

Three ghosts visited me last night, but I don’t really remember what all they said or showed me. Must not have been that important

We need more carols about Santa Claus slamming Red Bulls in order to enter a state of "beast mode" before engaging the reindeers' hyperdrives to shatter all known laws of physics and B&E every single house on Earth in a single 24-hour period on Christmas Eve.

Am I alone in maintaining a drawer at my office desk referred to as “The Abyss”?
It houses various hot sauces, spreads, antacids, napkins, utensils, soy sauce, oyster crackers, ramen noodles, sports drinks, packaged cheeses, assorted nuts, pork rinds, and somehow, video equipment.
I have needs.

I just received a text saying that my car has a manufacturing defect that can cause the wheels to “pop off at random” and “fly in all directions simultaneously.”
Given that I’d rather that not happen while I’m driving, I’m about to call the dealership to confirm and see what the next steps will be.
