The House Seems Emptier
Jan. 2nd, 2018 12:54 pm The tree is down and the interior house decorations have all been put away. The house seems emptier and less shiny.
We knew that it would, so yesterday we decided to console ourselves with mimosas. We sipped them as we removed the ornaments and did the annual dragging of the tree to the back yard for alley pick-up. Given the headache I woke up with this morning, that may have been a tactical error. :-)
I also made a nice dinner of roast chicken dinner, just because. New Year's Day is one of those "do we do anything special? I dunno. Do we?" kinds of days, and for the most part the only tradition we have is that the tree comes down.
Today was Mason's last day before he goes back to school, so we got him a haircut, spent his Christmas gift card at Barnes & Noble, and had lunch out on the town (his favorite? Wing Stop. I like it OKAY, but he loves it for whatever reason, so what the hell. It was an easy treat to give him.) I hung out this afternoon with
naomikritzer which is always lovely, and otherwise it's been a low key day.
Trying to decide what to watch next for anime. I watch anime while I do the dishes, so I'm always SLOOOWLY going through various series. I just finished Mushi-shi, and am now starting Natsume's Book of Friends. (Haikyu! was it's own weird phenomenon. Normally, I can't binge watch like that. But, if Mason is invested, I will. We used to do this with Bleach back in the day, too. Under Mason's influence, we are now reading the manga for Haikyu!, too.) Anyway, the point is, if you have anime recs for me, please feel free to drop me a comment. I also just love to know what other people are watching / reading.
