News & Views: Home Alone edition
Dec. 10th, 2024 01:17 pm1. It's very foggy here, even at 1 pm in the afternoon. Not cold, really, but the fog isn't going away.
2. Yesterday I took Minisculus to the pediatric dermatologist to see about this DEAD TOENAIL. So the doctor clipped it with regular clippers (I could've done that!) and told me to rub it with Vaseline every night to get the rest of it to soften and come off (the dead part) but that it might be 18 months before a toenail grows back. I did not know it took that long. No infection. End of story.
3. We went down to Charlotte, North Carolia (about 400 miles south). I drove about 10 of the 14 hours. Minor placed #142 out of 203 in his age group. He ran a 4k in 15:53. His club won overall for his age group, however, so he got a big medal for that. Weather was cold but good. First time participating in a national cross country meet.
4. I have just finished making my last Christmas card. I haven't put them in envelopes yet, but the last batch is made. The boys' father went into the office today so I am enjoying the peace and quiet.
5. I have finally started working on my Xmas jigsaw puzzle.
5 DEC: International Ninja Day: If you could be a ninja for a day, what would you do?
I quite like the katanas and the swords so I'd probably spend a lot of time hacking watermelons and things.
6 DEC: Pawnbrokers Day: Have you ever pawned anything?
No.
7 DEC: Cotton Candy Day: What’s your favorite fair or carnival food?
Funnel cakes!
8 DEC: Pretend to be a Time Traveler day: What time period in the past would you like to visit?
Victorian/Edwardian London would be nice.
9 DEC: International Anti-Corruption Day: What size of a bribe would persuade you to do something illegal?
I'm cheap. Gimme $20.
10 DEC: Nobel Prize Day: Who in your life deserves a Nobel Prize and for what?
Posthumously, my mother. She put up with a hell of a lot of shit.
