Christmas is coming...

[rosa_heartlily]

I got into town as early as possible last week and it was already heaving.  Apparently everyone else had the same idea as me!  But I got some presents bought, then moved on to the 'normal' shop, which I had zero enthusiasm for.  More present buying today, but my 'normal' list is much shorter this week, so it shouldn't be so exhausting.

I'm going to put the Christmas decorations up tomorrow.  I was going to wait for next weekend but that would have felt like decorating JUST for the visitors, and I want us three to get into the Xmas Atmos.

My body is playing 'shall-I-shan't-I?' with periods again.  It FEELS like I'm about to get hit with the mother of all bleeds, but it just isn't arriving.  It's more annoying than the actual period would be.  I think...

I'm re-reading Little Women and enjoying it more than I remember.  It may be worth looking out the sequels, which I've never read.

Work was another battle of getting more senior people to do their jobs so I don't look like I'm not doing mine *sigh*  But I do love the VC, who has given us the days before Christmas off!  This means I have 3 whole weeks of doing nothing.  Well, not REALLY nothing, but you know what I mean.

And I'm feeling very noble for NOT investigating Playstation Access' '19 things we know about FF16'.  I don't need to be persuaded to buy it - I KNOW I'm going to buy it - all I need is the release date!  Oh, and another DA game is coming.  That, I think, I will probably investigate more, and get it when the price drops.

Right, the Asda shop is arriving early this week, so I need to be ready.  Bye, DW!

As a small, I didn't like the sequels to Little Women nearly as much as I liked the first. I did love Eight Cousins and Rose In Bloom though.

I'm really NOT enjoying the constant moralising. After all, this may be the last time I read LW and I don't think I'll bother hunting out the sequels.

The moralizing is like - I remember some famous quote of L.M. Alcott's throwing some intense shade on Mark Twain, about how if this was the best we could offer our children to feed their minds we were in a sad state indeed. So it follows that she would have written like that.
