I like watercolors. I've had a general preference lately for pale, washed-out color, like how the world looks after you've had too much sun in your eyes. Next time you're at the beach, close your eyes and turn to the sun for a few minutes, and then look around. You'll see what I mean.

Xmas is half done. My family doesn't give adults presents, which I love, since I already have more stuff than I want to. I gave Lindsay a dollhouse and a set of meerkat triplet dolls from Calico Critters, which are adorable. I gave Heather a bow, arrows, and a target so she can shoot at her dad's. I am super-aunt.

New Year's Eve will be spent at my sister's, having Second Xmas with my nephew Nicky and my cousin's kid Dylan.

I will definitely be making another Goodwill run this year, as I have once again been overloaded with stuff I don't want or need.

Work is blah. I have a serious case of the fuckits. Fortunately, the worst of the testing year is over. I should be able to work on the horror story again soon, maybe even by the end of January.

I had some serious weight gain. I was up to 189 on Xmas night. I'm back down to 186 now, and I'm eating carefully, getting fiber and eating yogurt and not snacking.

I'm going to go take a walk now before I forget.
