How is everyone doing??
So my "stay-cation" is coming to an end, back to work tomorrow! I did manage to get a lot done.
Monday I decorated the cookies that I needed to take to the bowling league.
Tuesday I had my year-end doctor appointment. It went very well. I had been eating better, so my weight dropped, my blood pressure was normal, my AC1 was normal, and my cholesterol was normal! Tuesday night was the penultimate night for the season, and I gave out my holiday cookies.
Wednesday I finished my cookies that were going to the office party, and did the final count and dividing of the cookies with mom so she had her batch to give away to friends.
Thursday was the office Christmas party, the last day in the office for me. After the luncheon and dessert, a coworker and I took wrapped gifts that everyone had donated to a homeless organization. We had toys for the kids, and pajamas, slippers and gift cards for the adults. Speaking of gift cards, the team I work for all year gave me a gift card for $500.00!
I'll be using it to get stuff that I need, but always put off buying. New bathmat, shower curtain liner, anti-slip mat for inside the tub, new sheets, comforter and pillows, and some other things.Friday was a day staying home and relaxing. I did go out with family in the evening, a video will be posted below.
Saturday I met with a friend for dinner, and then we drove around for a few hours looking at Christmas lights.
today I got groceries, and cleaned the apartment, and finished up my Christmas cards, they'll be dropped off at the post office tomorrow.
Regarding being with the family on Friday, we went through a ride-through light attraction, mom and dad had been talking about it. The video is of the place is below. There were shorter ones, but they were sped up to make them shorter, and they got very annoying. this one is in normal speed, so you just need to see a few minutes of it to get the idea.

Bot is unimpressed, even though I got a better score than it did. My second guess "was not my favorite," it said sourly, even though it got me within one letter of the solution. I should have guessed UNCLE, the bot said, for some reason.

The Culture Tent / Re: Good topics for TNY's Shouts & Murmurs
« Last post by serious crayons on Today at 05:20:18 pm »What is Shouts & Murmurs?
It's a short "humor" column in the New Yorker, by mostly different writers on different subjects with different styles. I use scare quotes because it tend not to be very funny. Lee's sounds like it has possibilities, though!
Here's perhaps my favorite one ever -- it ran more than 20 years ago and I've never forgotten it. It's not super funny, either, but it's a clever concept well carried out. I can't find the original in the New Yorker, but that's just as well because it might be paywalled. Here it is reprinted in a blog or something.
