Today went pretty good. Woke up ok, got meds, shower, dressed, etc. Called my doc-in-a-box about bloodwork (I need to fast the night before, damn), then started calling around to find a restaurant that would be open on Cthulhumas Day. Gah, I haven't heard no so much since I was in my teens and dating. 12 'nope, not opens' and lucky number 13 ended up being a steakhouse. Oh well, there's stuff I like well enough on the menu. About the same time there was a knock on the door, UPS delivery...and oh my Cthulhu there was a lot of boxes. Part was section 2 of my original 'Cthulhu Wars' kickstarter. Really, I need to setup another room to display all the minis I have now. And I don't game...oy. The other package was from my 'Secret Shoggoth', one of the HPL groups I'm a part of tried doing a gift exchange. I made out like a bandit. A book, a metal bookmark, a Funko Cthulhu, and... a box of business cards from the Esoteric Order of Dagon. *Happy cultist dance* So Santa Cthulhu showed up early, and it was glorious.

After that, I then decided to throw caution to the wind, and I went to Walmart. got enough food for the next week and change, including some treats for me. The lines were kind of crazy, but I found one that was open...I think people were avoiding it because the light was blinking. I asked, the checkout person went 'Ooops' and turned it off. So win for me. Came home, unloaded my haul, made some lunch and watched 'Predator'. Seemed fitting, since I'd watched two 'Alien' movies recently, to watch the two good 'Predator' flicks, and finish tonight with 'Alien vs Predator'. Between 1 and 2, I ran out to do critter care, and since I was in the area I went by a new Whole Foods to look for some fancy lemonade.

Odd thing, the WFM was build where an Albertsons that I worked at used to be. Smelled like incense and overpriced organic food *chuckle* I found a fancy cherry lemonade, and a grape soda with octopuses on the label. So I had to get that as well. Came home, cursed whoever had the bright idea to put roundabouts in a state where yielding is considered a sin. Made dinner, been watching assorted aliens duke it out. Tomorrow is late laundry and other around the house chores. Vague ideas of spending the day in bookville. I really don't have much else to do right now, and I probably should bank some extra tentacles for the holidays. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Catch you all later.
