Hope your holiday worked out nicely. Things didn’t start out badly on my end; our holiday feast was pretty nice; we tried out a few new recipes, including the awesomeness that is “Jezebel Sauce” (cranberry kicked up with horseradish and mustard). We did the usual parade and dog show stuff on television, then mostly hung out around the house, as it was cold and rainy outside. I read some of the comics I picked up at the con the other week while digesting pie.
‘Twas much the same for the rest of the weekend; in part to avoid the whole black friday business (which I hate), and partially because I spent the rest of the weekend sick; not sure what it was (I had my flu shot weeks ago), but it took it out of me with aches, pains, chills, hot flashes, and sinus issues through Monday. I ventured out on Sunday morning because I had a commitment to play with a group I’d been rehearsing with (and I was covering most of the melody lines), focusing all my energy on not f**king up too badly; which I didn’t, though I blew myself out for the next two days, spending most of the rest of Sunday in bed, and Monday on sick leave from work, binge watching “The 100” on Netflix.
So yeah, happy holidays. This week looks relatively quiet, now that school plays and such are over with. My plan is to put my time in at the office, and spend the evenings fine-tuning my skills at wizard rock bottom end, as I have a gig with the Humdingers on Saturday, and given that the audience will be made up mostly of dear friends, I don’t want to suck and ruin anyone’s holiday party experience.
