To all my fellow BlueSky peeps, may your new year be free from cruelty, may you find the help you need, and may your heart not be hardened by events around you. I feel we can make a better world if we just uncurl our fist and offer an open hand; we may get burned but we must never stop trying.

Today I am making braised short ribs with a side of braised carrots and mashed potatoes.
Yesterday I made three pies: a mock mincemeat pie, a cherry pie, and a gluten free pear-apple-raisin pie. With left over crust and an odd coconut-cherry crumble I made a bar of dark chocolate and marshmallows.

So, it turns out I've run out of Thinking Units (TU). Usually I manage to make it through then end of the year with a few left over but not this year. I am pretty sure I ran out around December 15th. You would think I would just keep checking the counter but, well, the counter broke a few years ago.

Xmas is coming up pretty quick. I really only want one thing and that is for the Russians to get the hell out of Ukraine. All of it.
Oh, and for all the fascists to grow some freaking empathy.

Since they completely redacted many of these documents, someone could just write a bunch of incriminating stuff about all the members of the current administration and a few billionaires that sorta fits the format and put it out there as the unredacted files. What are they going to do? 👹

To all the atheists out there [secret handshake ... man we gotta come up with a new one, my rotator cuff won't last much longer doing that] remember to wait until you've lulled them into a false sense of security before springing "Happy Holidays" on them!

As then of the year approaches it is important that we take the time to -- exact revenge upon all who have wron -- ha ha, where did that come from? Heh. No, no, use this time to reflect on what we have done and how we -- can monetize it to -- oh my. Well, how about we just go happy holidays to all.

Whoo hoo! Getting a Xmas present early.
Yep, the pharmacy is sending my Allopurinal AND Isosorbide Dinitrate to my house. It's going to be party central at my house.

I believe our greatest problem is undiagnosed/untreated mental health issues. From profound selfishness to a complete lack of empathy to murderous intent, it's all mental health diagnostic failures. We like to pretend that we are independent people; we are not. We need to stop enabling bad behavior.

The good people at Burger Time Pizza told me that next year they are expanding with two new concept stores: Pizza Time Tacos and Egg Roll Time Samosa. They are also considering Spring Roll Time Pierogi.

You are probably wondering how I decide what to wear. Well, it all starts with my choice of underwear and how close to laundry day it is. For example, today, I am wearing dark blue boxer briefs. I will add black/gray compression socks, a dark gray sleeveless t-shirt, and heavy black sweat pants.

Gotta text from a scammer. It was one of those where they pretend to be a long-lost friend, only they don't give a name. I sent them a description of figs, then a Python program, then a longish message about world peace in Belarusian (google translated it for me).

Got my teeth cleaned recently. I had a tooth pulled earlier this year. I asked for a discount since they only had 31 teeth to clean.

It is December, and my neighbor across the street has started the Christmas light war early. I now must search through my shed for the bin of lights and start planning how to put them up. I won't be doing it; I am long passed the age where I want to climb a ladder that high.

The Harold House Curse
I see the faint outline of a new door forming under the stairs. I’ll give it a few days, then go down there. Maybe I can convince my roommate to come with me, and maybe Estrella. A witch might be handy to have along.
There is no telling what is in there after 50 years.

I touch the center flame symbol on the mantel. I hear the door inside the fireplace click shut. I look around and see that the house hasn’t magically become full of nice furniture again, but it does seem a little brighter. I go to the hallway to look at the stairs.

I don't know how long I stand like that, but eventually I get my breath back, and I climb the stairs to the fireplace. I get out of the fireplace and stand looking at it.
So it seems that Granddad made a deal with that fish-god to provide for his kids, then it cheated.
