I’ve decided to have an inventory of good stuff so i can pretend everything is wonderful.
1) One lung seems to be working at at least 80% efficiency!
Ok, that kind of sucks on the good stuff vibe so let’s try again but shinier...
Winter. It’s winter. No, that’s not more depressing stuff... I LIKE winter. It’s my favourite season. I thrive in winter normally (which is why being down now has to END because I am wasting the best time of the year and soon the evil DAYSTAR! will return and ruin everything!). I love it, it’s cold so you can burrow inside with lots of fluffy blankets, you get to wear the best clothes, there’s no horrible sweatiness, it’s all lovely and dark in the morning when you get up , it’s dark in an evening - it’s perfect. I hate bright light (evil daystar!) and it’s easier to relax when it’s dark. When the sun’s out I feel I have to be all constructive - it’s DAY time, we need to be sensible responsible people and do adult stuff. When it’s dark we get to screw around and be irresponsible kiddies (see, I’m trying to sell this to the SPs but they seem reluctant about the idea). Of course Beloved is 100% cuter in winter because he is such a Summer Child and he’s all cute and huggled inside grumbling. I get to poke him and watch him attempt growliness (he fails at growliness). Or I have to convince him not to have locked up for 3:00am walks in the still cold (I love those winter nights that are utterly, perfectly still. No wind, just still and clear and so cold the air feels brittle) or playing in the rain (but not snow. Snow is EVIL).
So yes, it’s winter and I’m going to ENJOY it, damn it and no dying relatives or crazy relatives or disintegrating family are going to stop it because winter’s MAH season.
Tassimo Oh what a wonderful discovery! It seems Beloved and Brother-mine work together very well when it comes to gadgets. Beloved is a gadget hoarder - he will see something shiny and absolutely MUST MUST MUST have it (how this works with his internal MISER that has so much power I will never figure out. But no-one said we had to be logical, right?) Thing is he has no actual patience with them and less concentration span - so he will buy, use a couple of times, get bored of it and put it into storage (it‘s inevitably easier to get a normal tin opener out of the draw than it is to dig out one of the electric ones, plug it in/change the batteries, set it up, angle the tin with express, nano-meter precision etc)
Brother mine doesn’t acquire gadgets by the billion but he will use gadgets when there’s no need - electric can openers, electric jar openers, all kinds of a strange little electric things to make every day life complicated.
Generally, both annoy me muchly and I leave them to it. But every now while panning through all the crap we find a nugget of pure gold - the TASSIMO! *cue angelic choir*
More than passable coffee that is quick quick quick to make and comes in loads of varieties and you don’t have to make a huge vat of it? GIMME GIMME GIMME. The discovery of Tassimo makes the world a better place. Now for my half-hourly coffee...
loot! I have teh yule loot and it is shiny!
BAILEYS! Enough said.
