Another mostly decent day. Did laundry, cleaned the living room a bit, did dishes, got a script from the pharmacy. Then I went to get the mail, and found out my uterine sibling just pulled off a Cthulhumas miracle, or at least, mind reading.

There is a picture of my folks on their honeymoon at Jamaica, that is always what comes up when I think of them. I have Mom's copy of it here, somewhere. (lots of Mom boxes in the closet). I got a copy of it in the Christmas card from sibling... queue me tearing up in a happy way. Already reached out to said sibling and said many thanks. Now to find a perfect frame for it. Something nautical or beach-y. (tentacles wouldn't hurt) ;)

(I don't have a scanner, and I suck at cameras, but I'll bring it to Amythest's over the holidays and get it scanned in, and post it so you guys can see my folks)

I also got a card from my Secret Shoggoth, who really liked the mixed pile of stuff I sent him. Which was very appreciated, I was wondering if they were waiting for the actual holiday to open things.

Critter care was fine, had an amusing moment where Valentine, the world's friendly cat used me as furniture. So I texted his human the following... "Valentine is camped on my chest. I may never move again. Put on my tomb stone I was good cat furniture and died happy." Stopped and got a cheesesteak on the way back, oh it was so good. Now I'm just vegging at home, watching another Holiday dated movie 'Prometheus'. Yay pseudo-Xenomorphs and really dumb scientists.

Otherwise I've been tinkering, upgraded Hydra to Mint 17.3 with no noticeable issues, updated the VM that hosts my external sites and rebooted it without issues. Updated some software I build from source and am currently going through my collection of flash drives to make sure they all have unique names (I'm OCD on the weirdest things). Tomorrow will be more general chores around the house, probably binge watching a TV show I need to catch up on, and of course, critter care. I expect to be showered with kitty and puppy affection. Then it's Cthulhumas/Star Wars eve, friends, lightsabres and tentacles...a wonderful thing. And on that note, I'm going to call this a post. Catch you all later.
