DANKE!

acari sent me a box of German Christmas goodies, and it came in the mail yesterday! I was beginning to wonder if customs had eaten it, then it arrived in my box! Yay! And I think it included some homemade cookies :D (I already ate two of them.) And little tree ornament chocolates and a Milka Santa, and Spekulatius, and marzipan! I love marzipan! (Ben hates it. More for me!)

Thank you so much!!

Hay Germans.

Do your right-wing politicians/newsmedia commentators compare housing co-ops to socialism?

Do you wonder why I want to get away from these yahoos?

Notes

I may have something to say about this poor middle class girl's problems at some point. Just putting it here so I can find it again later.

Some progress

I wrote three paragraphs and deleted five, for a net of -165 words. But I actually worked on The Novel, so that's a start.

I had a cup of black tea with breakfast and 2 of green with lunch, and judging from my inability to focus on anything, that may have been a mistake, since I've been mostly off caffeine since Thanksgiving. So I learned for next time.
