I won 2 costco-sized bags of M&Ms at the office gift swap yesterday.
I decided last night to make cookies for gifts for my group, so I made one batch of peppermint meringues, and I have to make two more tonight. I immediately regretted my decision because they take 90 minutes to bake and it's best if you leave them in the oven overnight.
I have some sort of strange cold. It started with hot flashes that would raise my temp to 101 and the promptly disappear for several hours. a few days later I now have an awful runny nose, ear ache and sore throat.
On the plus side I have no desire to eat. Thanks sudafed.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND going thru the deck, they've completely gotten the digital elements wrong in this section. Despite having been walked thru the process at least 3 times.

WTF is going on with the post office? I have two packages in transit to me, one ordered Cyber Monday, the other Dec. 4th. Both were transferred to the USPS over a week ago, and ... nothing. Check tracking, "no delivery date is available at this time." I know it's a busy time, but this is ridiculous, right?
I am wearing cranky pants today. Between DH shushing me when the news starting talking about the Star Wars movie and the head-patting, mansplaining email from the audit office yesterday, it feels like a good day to leave and take a road trip anywhere.

Your packages are lost, contact the shipper. Sorry dude.
This was the year I had to make a list with the delivery date of all the gifts I bought, what's been delivered and needs wrapping, what's been delivered and needs to be sent to the ILs, what's in transit for each and when it's being delivered. We have multiple packages delivered daily lately, and I've only lost one birthday gift that didn't make it in time (turned around & refunded) and two gift cards (replaced same day).

my cousin's wife blocked me on FB. I assume it's over cop shooting postings I've made which is hella ironic as her H, who is a cop, posts the same shit himself.
I have no idea how long ago she did this. I only found out when I went to message her for her address for a Christmas card. The good news it my FB feed isn't cluttered with the 4000 selfies and pictures of her kids she posts every 3 seconds. I see this as a win-win.

I don't know where else this belongs but the Love Actually thread brought this to mind: can someone explain to me how The Sound of Music is a Christmas movie? There's no Christmas scene. I get irrationally angry whenever My Favorite Things comes on the radio as a Christmas song.

I missed free coffee at work today because I'm teleworking. Granted, not wearing a bra > free coffee, but free coffee is still pretty good.
I wound up ordering my dad pie for Christmas. H was concerned my dad would take a donation to a Native American related charity as a middle finger to his church. I'm just not that close with my dad and have no interest in getting into it with him. Here, enjoy your Wisconsin cherry pie.
Fatty CANNOT EVEN with me working in the living room but ignoring him. Poor (not so) li'l dude keeps walking around my feet and meowing. It's adorable/pathetic.
I am trying to finalize my top 10 albums of the year, and it is STRESSFUL.
I really want pancakes. SO BAD. Living across the street from a really good breakfast joint while teleworking is dangerous.

Our renter's December check was mailed two states away on November 30th and usually arrives in 3 days. It arrived December 9th. Regular mail. Same for a client's check - mailed about the same time and took almost 11 days to get one state over.
I am shipping a package UPS today because of the slow stuff.
