Who else will be lonely this night?  ;D

Delicious dinner.

I work in retail.  And an extreme introvert.

Which is why, sometime before Dec. 25, I always opine that Scrooge should not have changed his mind.

And why, since I got home from work at about 7:30 this evening until about 9:00 AM. Saturday, I plan on having no interactions with any human being except on the Internet.  Solitude is a wonderful way to have the universe for company.

Had a big stomach upset over the past few days, so am eating bananas and am now making applesauce. But much worse are poisoned family relations that I dread calling them on the phone. Friends and neighbors are frequently better, also posting and reading on GMG. So you are not alone.

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. Positive vibrations to both.

I went out for an "accompanied" Chinese dinner at six. When I got hungry an hour later (actually 2.5), I dipped into some Alta Badia and Toma Piemontese, with olives, walnuts, and San Pellegrino (I don't drink drink). I preferred the unaccompanied dinner.

These vibes must have come thru or maybe helped along by listening to the Vivaldi and Durante "Magnificat" plus part of Bach's "Christmas Oratorio". Meanwhile, I got some surprising email greetings and a telephone call from nice former students. So it turned out OK after all despite generally unjoyful family.  Thanx and back at ya.
