Honestly, I’m not really sure I’m ok. I’m just not trauma dumping. I just squish it all down and hope I vomit diamonds eventually.

Sounds rough. Lots of folks without resources just looking for someone to listen. I tried group therapy (grief) in the before times and it was a mess. I can’t even imagine that environment now.

Tonight’s @taskmaster.tv advent calendar puzzle broke me. We had to get clues, and even then we couldn’t figure it out. Better luck tomorrow.

Nice song. I use hand lotion like one a week because I haven’t made it a habit, but the presentation on that advent calendar makes me want one. I have a strange obsession with tiny containers. Happy Friday!

I kept my CD and DVD collection after switching to streaming, and it looks like that was a good move. I’ve dropped Hulu, Amazon and HBO, Netflix is free with my cell plan, and Paramount will expire in March. I think it’s a trend.

I like the old standards (Bing Crosby, et al), but most of the pop Christmas music makes me crazy. Exceptions are Father Christmas by the Kinks and Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses.

It's varied at the places I've worked. Now working for a government agency that doesn't have parties. This is good for me, as I always called them "Mandatory Fun" anyway.

We each filled our own. We talked about doing that, but then it was late on the 1st and it ended up being kind of a CF. I was tired enough that I’ll be surprised even though I put the ones in my own drawers. Plus like 10 of mine are the same thing because I have favorites.

The first year in came prefilled with wrapped candies, as Karen shows in her videos. This year, we bought our favorites (unwrapped, but in paper candy cups) and put them in ourselves.

We are on year two of our See’s calendar and I’d be surprised if we don’t get 10 years out of it unless there’s some major mishap. It’s very sturdy.

There is a device that allows you to screw an AirTag into it and uses AA batteries. Takes more room, but if alkaline are OK, then that would help.

Do you put AirTags in your luggage? Pretty handy.

My personal favorite is when they have to email you a code to login, and it takes 11 minutes to get the email but the code expires in 10 minutes. It's like trying to win concert tickets on the radio with the mashing the send/receive button and trying to beat the clock.
