It seems years and years ago that people saw the sun
Happy birthday to my godchild, who is twelve! They are an extra extra clever little mongoose and I have a shirt for them that says so, as soon as I can figure out how to get it in the mail. I believe the festivities will involve a piñata, on the grounds that everyone this year should get to hit something until candy happens.
I had nightmares that my entire family had joined a pseudo-medical suicide cult and were calmly and reasonably arguing with me that it was fine even as the clock ticked down to an extremely unpleasant mass death. My mother sympathized; she had had nightmares of her own. We agreed it was a rather unsubtle expression of current anxieties, but still unpleasant to have to go through. I was more entertained by the part of the dream that featured a fleeting cameo from a character in The Mind Benders (1963).
It is brilliantly, bitterly cold outside. I wish there were more than scattered crusts of snow in the grass, but at least it does seem to think it's winter, as opposed to this weekend's sudden oscillation into spring, which I did not appreciate. January looking both ways isn't supposed to mean into different seasons.

Solidarity! That sounds awful, too.
