I'm almost completely better. Of course, every time I think I am, I start getting sniffly and/or coughy. Whatever else, I'm all done with cold meds (mostly because I ran out, and can't be bothered to buy more).

I don't know who, if anyone, goes house-hunting the day before Christmas Eve, but we're having an open house today, which means we can't be here - and I have no idea what to do with myself. I don't want to go shopping (wow, there's something I never thought I'd say!) because of all the jackasses who have procrastinated on doing their Christmas shopping, but I don't want to sit around with the fam in my grandpa's living room for five hours, either. I'm kinda "Eh" on the idea of going to a movie, so I might just hole up in a coffee shop, caffeinate (did I invent a new word?) and write.

For Christmas, I guess we're just hanging around here and having dinner. Ham (yum!), potato salad (ew) and... that might be it. I was thinking of doing flan for dessert; I have everything I need except for heavy whipping cream.

I actually had a rather social Friday night. After leaving work, and running (okay, driving fast) home to change, I met up with DM, MB and AM at Peet's. We were there for probably two hours, but didn't order anything until the last half-hour or so. And of course, I almost immediately spilled some iced chai on my jeans. D'oh? MB and I were hungry afterward and went to Blue Fin for some sushi and miso soup. I normally hate soup, but man that stuff is good; I wish I'd had some when I was all sick and dead last weekend.

I've been dreaming a lot more lately, though I haven't been as good about writing them down as I should be. I had a wonderful one just last night where the cable bill came, and it was "only" $152. Wouldn't that be nice? The last one, for instance, was $188; it varies by a few dollars each month because we have phone service from Comcast now too, but it doesn't get much lower than that.

Okay, I suppose I'll go clean something... after I eat something. I woke up at 5 a.m. feeling absolutely ravenous, but somehow fell back asleep for three hours. Sweet.
