Last night I went with the family to a Christmas Lights Display at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library that happens to be in our city. Above are some pictures from the displays. It cost about $17 to get in for this and I thought, that while nice, it was overpriced for how many lights they had.
My week off is over and it’s back to work tomorrow. Had a much better Thanksgiving this year than last and so far (knock on wood) I am not sick.
Decorated our place for Christmas this year all day Friday. I do mean all day. Next weekend we do the family’s house.
I’ve written a few more flash fics to get ahead on them. I’m working on a Christmasy one now that I expect to finish today and that will get me ahead through December 14th if I get it done. Yay!
Unfortunately, I have not finished my Christmas fic but am determined to do so this week. I don’t know when I will post it, but it will be ready when I do.
I did start a new One-Shot Part 6 on AO3 for those who didn’t get the notice. There are still issues with it.
I updated The Experiment and Hello Darkness, My Old Friend this week. Since I am skipping The Sight for now, next up is Nine Lives. But I’d like to wait for the Christmas story to be finished first. I am ignoring the T’hy’la bang story for now but I will be getting to that again very soon.
The damn wind is back again today. We’ve had chilly mornings though. There’s a chance of rain on Wednesday and Thursday, so we shall see. The other day it did rain overnight.
I started my Christmas movie viewing on Thanksgiving with Miracle on the 34th Street. I also have started to listen to Christmas music. Funny story. I wanted the song, Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms added to my Amazon Music Christmas Playlist on Prime. Somehow when I added it, it added three greatest hits albums by him to my Music. I had like 68 songs. I was like WTF. It was a total pain getting them back off, let me tell you!
Anyway, that is it for now. Have a great week.

Love those pictures! Very pretty lights!
But yeah, does seem overpriced
Glad you had a better thanksgiving than last year. Here’s to not getting sick at all this holiday season!
I only just got the notifications for those stories yesterday and still haven’t gotten the notification for the One shot part 6 >.< ao3 hates me
Can't wait for your Christmas story! And all your other updates coming up! π
Which Miracle on 34th Street did you watch? One with Natalie Wood or Mara Wilson? I like both, but more so the Mara Wilson one
Have a great week!

Looks pretty, but I agree… pretty expensive. About half hour away from me,they have a Halloween great jack-o-lantern blaze (or a name like that) and the cost has kept my family of five from attending, although it’s supposed to be pretty spectacular.
Christmas will be here before you know it. I’m hoping we can get our act together this year and get things done early. It makes for a calmer season, instead of the mad rush at the end like we typically do.
Yeah for your updates and plans of updates… all eagerly anticipated! β€
Wanted to share with you, my Dad passed away at home with us on Sunday. He was home from the hospital ten days on hospice. The hospice staff were wonderful to him and to us. Seems surreal. He never wanted to be a burden and although he lived with my husband and I since 1996 (in our mother-daughter house) and eventually the three granddaughters, he was fiercely independent. He passed peacefully and with no pain. I still haven't cried… I've turned into Spock!

I’m very sorry about your dad, but it does sound like he had a good long life, at least up until the last year or so. It’s never easy no matter when it happens, but I suspect it was something of a relief for you and for your dad there at the end. Hugs, my friend.
