On Monday I drove out to Sunset, and the past few days have been lovely. I’ve managed not to stress about anything this week, even when I was preparing our small feast (5 of us altogether) on Wednesday. Oh, I had the usual low-level anxiety which is inevitable when trying to get several dishes prepared at the same time, but beyond that nothing. Even the drive out on Monday wasn’t bad; I threaded the traffic in Tacoma pretty well, and got here in about 2 hours and 20 minutes. And Christmas Eve…well, look at the picture and judge for youself. And I’ve got almost another week here! Sometime in the next few days I’m going to try to listen to the latest episode of the Trek Profiles podcast, featuring me; since most of the podcasts I do focus on heavy topics like human rights and police violence, it was rather nice just to talk about Star Trek for once. If you’re a fan, give it a listen!
