sunday, in short

* tonight, i cracked open a new pair of original njuta* slippers. in red. (*not the crappy, useless, paper-filled ones IKEA sells now. the fluffy, cozy, comfy, foam-padded terry-cloth originals they last sold about four years ago. i stocked up at the time, and have been rationing the remaining pairs.)

* it snowed today! no accumulation, though. that'll happen tomorrow (~5cm expected). i will put on my keen growlers and down jacket and thermal underwear and then frolic.

* my intestinal issues calmed, and then returned. the spicy pasta this afternoon was, in hindsight, a poor decision on my part.

* i hung YB's christmas lights for her today.

* my apartment is quite cold tonight.

* the new season of Celebrity Rehab has begun and, with it, a new crop of celebs -- some of whom desperately want help and others who are clearly there just to be on TV.

* the hearing date for the creep and the weirdo next door has been postponed until january. i haven't seen the weirdo in months, and i wonder if the creep is actually illegally subletting.

* i also wonder if the M.I.A. greeting card from my mom will arrive tomorrow.

* i bought a fresh sudoku book today. i do a few puzzles each night before bed because i find them meditative.

* soon, i will write my christmas cards.
