The good word of the day is, Friday. At least in this neck of the woods.

If only.  Just feeling a bit worn down.  I think I needed more sleep.  You know that feeling.

Morning Podaar. Yes, Friday is the good word of the day. So far, there's no work for me to do so I'm just hanging out. I'm sure the boss will give me something ridiculous to partake in just to keep me busy.

Friday's done here in my neck of the woods. Did a bit of Christmas shopping today so there's not as much left to do next week when it gets especially awful, now I'm rewatching Bad Santa on TV.

Indeed.

At the risk of sounding like a shill...Sleep Number beds saved my sleepy time from the depths of hell.

And, Blob, I applaud getting shopping done early! It's a great strategy that I live by.

Does a week before Christmas count as early? :lol I always leave it till the last minute for a lot of the Christmas shopping, at least the people I don't know what to buy for (like my parents). I'm always organized for my brother and sister, because they're easy to buy for.

We got most of the shopping done.  Just 2 more people which will be easy.

I just have a couple of things left to get. My daughter is all shopped for. That was the most important to do.

Through all of the recent emotional breakdowns, she is the only thing keeping me sane and sober (for the most part). I have to suck it up, be a man, and be somewhat responsible, for her. I give her the attention she needs more than anyone, including her mother, so for me to be irresponsible would be self-indulgent and disgraceful. So yes, every penny I spend is worth that big smile, and to hear her in her developing language say "aw, how cute."


There isn't enough work today so I'm in the office.

ALMOST done with Christmas shopping.  Still a busy weekend ahead, then Star Wars Monday night.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Only have a handful of things left to buy.  Getting stocking stuffers tomorrow morning while everyone is off at a graduation.  Probably grabbing a bunch of beef bones and making stock tomorrow also.  Oh and drinking.

It's primarily big-ticket items in the jingle household this season.  Both kids are getting iPads (it's kinda mandatory for jingle.son - it's as much a drawing tablet for him); got to pickup a new iPhone for mrs.jingle, and the appropriate accessories.  Once that's done, all is complete.  The joys of having a stay-at-home wife... she's a big planner, and takes care of everything.  She's upstairs wrapping the extended family gifts right this moment.

I take great pains to wrap gifts, because I'm super OCD about tightly wrapped packages with clean folds and no bulges.  And lots of tape.  She can wrap 2-3 in the time it takes me to do one.  :lol

There's a joke in there somewhere.

Nearly every single time I log on to DTF, I will, at least once, have the following scene pop into my head:

That's exactly my problem. It has to be perfect and neat and just so. If it's not, the paper is coming off and I'm starting over. Because of the unbearable stress, the alcohol involved winds up becoming too much that I'm putting scotch tape on everything else besides the paper, and then I'm out of tape. A free tip, just because they're both called Scotch doesn't mean they should be used at the same time.

If there's a joke regarding your bulge, I feel bad for Mrs. Jingle.

Well so many issues with the boiler.  He fixed what was needed to get by but he is quoting out all the issues that need to be addressed but told me it will come close to getting a new boiler.

Morning.  Not such a good sleep.  passed out on the couch around 8:30 last night... dozed in/out of sleep until 12:30.  Came to bed, but then couldn't get to sleep  :facepalm:.  Think I slept off and on between 2-5.  Then the cat barfed right beside me (on the floor).  Thankfully mrs.jingle heard it, otherwise I would've likely stepped right in it.

Christmas gathering with the extended jingle.family tonight - 1/2 of which (my father and brother) I'm estranged from.  The only time we see them is at Christmas.  Gonna be fun!!   ::)

Morning Chad.

Yeah, I turned in a 10 pm and have been up since 3 am (about an hour and half ago).

We are having our annual Solstice party tonight (I'm not sure why we're not doing it on Tuesday. Mrs. P doesn't tell me anything). I'll be preparing the rib roast here in just a little while.

Hey there ole chap.  Didn't realize you were in MST.

Gotta go wake up jingle.son - he's doing some work today for a colleague of mrs.jingle's, who's coming to pick him up in an hour or so.

Yup, Rocky Mountain high, baby.

So, in my spare time, I've been working through a video game on the hardest settings trying to acquire some ridiculously difficult achievements while simultaneously enforcing my own additional rules. It's my favorite game and I've completed it a number of times...but last night, I realized I was starting to be bored with playing.

But then, I finished one of the more difficult levels and the game popped up one of those achievement awards. I can't believe how much of a difference it's made in my attitude. I'm seriously considering putting on my headphones and going for more.

Sometimes, I'm such a little kid.  :lol

Chad, I'm going for the "clean hands", "ghost", and "shadow" simultaneously while having all in game cues turned off and with the self imposed requirement to collect every available coin.

I'm doing this for practice in anticipation of D2 this spring.
