Today's reflection: after a lengthy holiday run of cookies, chocolate, eggnog, beef tenderloin, potato gratin, more cookies, chips & dip, red wine, pate, fondue, coconut-chocolate bars -- after all this, I tell you what, a nice plain little bowl of cottage cheese is the food of the freakin' gods.
Apart from Christmas day itself, I've spent a quiet and solitary long weekend. Christmas day featured a deeply depressing visit to my dad in the nursing home [approx. 500 words of depressingness edited out], and then a very nice dinner with Mr. P., who made with the cool presents. These included an armload of old hardback editions of Nero Wolfe mysteries [approx. 500 words of how this former interest of mine has re-emerged a a fandom-of-sorts for me, in part due to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_aerye_, pulled for further consideration and expansion], and a particularly excellent find, a DVD of the New York Dolls reunion concert at the Royal Festival Hall earlier this year [more blithering on this excised as unlikely to be of interest to anyone else except maybe cesperanza].
I've been dipping randomly into theds_seekritsanta stories, and a few Yuletide pieces, but really I haven't been on the computer much, and am pretty much behind on LJ and everything else. Tomorrow I'm back to work, but I have another long weekend coming up, and a whole bunch of writing on which to get moving. We'll see if that actually comes to pass, however.

"a nice plain little bowl of cottage cheese is the food of the freakin' gods. "
Ain't it the truth? Actually, my food of the gods is home made chicken soup with tons of vegs and sourdough french bread. And lots of raw vegs - but then, California being such a great place for produce we never have any lack. I know what you mean about the depressing visits to aging parents; my mother is visiting my sister this Chrismas and I've had to do much long distance hand holding to get my sister through the visit from the Bitch otherwise known as Mom.
I've told my brother and sister that if I get like that, they can drive me to the Golden Gate Bridge and help me jump. Old age is def not for sissies.
All the great ds stores have made me even more curious about the show but it's not broadcast. Waaaa!!!
Stay warm!

And totally with you on the old age thing. I just read your previous entry re: impending birthday, and want to reply, if I can steal some time from work today.
