Winter is here. The ladybugs are coming inside.
“Just hanging out on the tail light. You weren’t planning on going anywhere were you? Think of all of the aphids that could pop up if I blew off your car miles away. You should probably just stay here.”
The biggest part of winter, so far, has been the complete absence of the sun. If there’s any consolation to the ladybug thing, however, it is that tomorrow is the longest night of the year. And with the shortest day of the year soon behind us, we have plenty to look forward to!
The optimist on the first day of winter is a fool before the last freeze of spring.
Family and shopping today. Picked up a bicycle for a secret Santa gift. Did this at K-Mart, where they have three registers open during the Christmas rush. There is a reason they work at K-Mart. It is a nice little bike, though. The unsuspecting older man that will get this gift is due an upgrade. He pedals a hand-me-down to the store and back home again, but the brakes are gone and the gears are shot.
Finished shopping for my mother. Failed at shopping for my grandparents.
If you fail at three places in a row you should just go home. And so we did.
Family visiting, picked up Chinese food, made a drug store run and then watched the night drift away on the History Channel.
Tomorrow will be a lot like today.
