Merry Christmas!

Well, Oregon got a white Christmas. Sorta.

The main roads are plowed, ish. The side roads have 6 inches of slush. My car is at work. Uh, I am not. Currently anyway.

I couldn't get through the slush last night, so someone was nice enough to give me a ride home. I felt awful, because he got stuck in the slush in my apartment complex for 30 minutes.

It's a 5 mile walk. I was lucky, and was able to find someone that could come pick me up. Going home tonight will be a challenge. I think I'm just going to walk for the next few days, and leave my car there through the weekend.

I could use the exercise....

We're expecting lots of rain, so it should melt off by Tuesday. Since I have Sunday and Monday off, I should be able to deal with the walk tomorrow and Saturday. If it simply isn't possible, or is dangerous, there's always a cab.

The tree is all lit up. Christmas music playing in the background. The cats have their toys. I got a video of Lizzi tweaking out with her new catnip toys. Malcolm is hiding under the dining room table as usual.

Pseudo got his gift of new cast puzzles last night. He was excited. He gave me a huge smile when he solved his newest one, and I got a big hug. Those two events absolutely made my Christmas. I am still a wreck, but I feel better than I did.

I opened my new puzzle early early early this morning. Took me 3 minutes to get it apart, and 45 to put the damn thing back together. It's awesome though. Looking forward to sharing it with Pseudo. I'm betting he'll get a kick out of it. I got myself three, but the one I really wanted was naturally the first one I played with.

Anyway, I need to start getting ready for work.

My hope is that everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday. Spend it with the ones you love. Don't worry about the gifts under the tree. What is most important is that you surround yourself with the ones you love. Enjoy these moments!

Merry Christmas all!
