Things are pretty boring right now. At least, in comparison to a few months ago. Nothing big and looming and scary on the horizon, just indistinct, undated things that will only come about if I keep putting effort in, every day. And even that effort has stopped. :/ Granted, some of this has been on purpose, but I'm disturbed by how easy it has been after the constant on of the last few months to just... not... write.

The above photo is what happens when my family convenes somewhere for Christmas; many, many packages. Mom has really gotten into ordering things off Amazon now that they live in the middle of nowhere.

This Christmas is exciting: the first year ever that I've hosted, which doesn't include the time Lady and I just stayed home because we had no money for planes and I'd just gotten a new job so = no time off. My immediate family + grandma will all be here on Friday through the weekend and the holiday and Boxing Day and I am most definitely not being crazy and scrubbing the floors.

Maybe a little.

But mostly because cats. My mom and brother both have fairly severe cat allergies, so I've been trying to figure out all the ways to get things cleaned of cats. Mom has her placebo pills, so she'll probably be fine, but bro usually just conks out. For some reason he originally thought it would be a good idea to sleep on our couch, too. o.O Thankfully mom talked some sense into him.

Yes, so that's how exciting I am right now: worrying about cat dander. Plus how to feed my family so that they both a) eat healthy and b) don't complain. It's a precarious line to walk because most of what we eat now they would think is weird. At least meat is an easier sell than tofu. :)
