Jesus, what a week for The Daily Show to be off...

Welp, guess I'm getting on this train again.

Twice this week I've been told to expect things within a specific time frame and I feel like I'm being held hostage.

Very sad

Met Eireann screws us again and sends us to school in the rain. I just want to arrive to work dry!

My Nana Peg was mad for Saint Martin de Porres, medals, magazines, picture on the wall. It was Beatles-level fandom for someone who did not hold with The Beatles.

41st book of the year -technically a reread because I want to read all three over the festive season...

Went into Town with my daughter and accidentally bought some books.

Mom: "You've never been someone who leaves work alone over the holidays, but this dendrophillia lawsuit can wait until after the holidays!"
Shelly: "It can't, mom, it's too personal - Pine and I are going to have a sapling, and I will not let Park services take him away from me!"

40th book of the year!

38th and 39th books of the year!
