yes i cut out of work early again today. secretly i feel better in the way of my redthroatedness, but for some reason i like being coddled at work while they think i am sick & just being there heroically. i'm quite egotistical to think the clinic couldn't run without me. but maybe it couldn't?

i'm very happy about jasmine's diaryland now.

tonight bean & i are finally having christmastown after midnight & i am very excited although i have just (literally just) realized that a couple of the ricka-made presents are lacking in some way. so i have to hightail it home to finish those. before she gets home.

i am very very happy about christmastown, & i am very very happy about seeing shelleymonster for a couple days, & having fantasticsoup with her & chris & erika last night.

staying up late two nights in a row (first christmastown, then new iron chef sushi battle) has probably wrecked my routine-dependent health but right now, i haven't the foresight to care.

llegaron ya los Reyes y eran tres
llegï¿½ melchor, gaspar, y el negro baltazar
arrope y miel le llevarï¿½n
y un poncho blanco de alpaca real
changos y chinitas, duï¿½rmanse
que ya melchor, gaspar y baltazar
todos los regalos dejarï¿½n
para jugar maï¿½ana el redentor
el niï¿½o dios muy bien lo agradeciï¿½
comiï¿½ la miel y el poncho lo abrigï¿½
y fuï¿½ despuï¿½s que los mirï¿½
y al medianoche el sol se alumbrï¿½
