It really was, T, and I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who's coming out feeling appreciably recharged! Here's to even brighter days ahead, eh?
I think Christmas is that kind of holiday, where you're either happy and exhasted or sad and exhausted. I'm sort of... feeling complicated and exhausted, lol.
I have a lot of money right now, but it's tied up in ways that make it unavailable. I have a check but no access to an ATM that accepts deposits for my bank, and I have Target gift cards but no way to get to Target. It seems stupid to have nothing to eat in the house (and not 'nothing', as I do have a can of bean soup, a box of lettuce, pickles, and bread and butter and like, cooking oil and salt and pepper) with funds right there.
Aw, Frank, that is awful! I need to find, like, some kind of local place that does the bacon equivalent of fruit basket delivery, so I can phone you in some love. Please tell me you made it to an ATM and are not ringing in the new year with nothing but branules and zest of lettuce!
Hahahaha, I feel better just reading your response. Sometimes I feel like the only person left on the planet, you know?
I didn't find an ATM, but I scraped up some noodles for eating and well, I always consider this sort of thing to be the consequence for not planning well. I did call sister to see if she'd let me use the credit card she gave me for emergencies, but I already felt bad and she made me feel worse, so I stayed home.
Worry not! I have food. It's not luxurious, but it's still food and I'm not eating like, mud mixed with salt like those pregnant ladies in Africa. 'Sides, branules and lettuce make me feel more thankful when I do have stuff, and that's always good, right?
Haha, that's what E-man calls the jar of flaxseed that my parents have in the fridge. They have an abundance of things like that which, while purchased at a grocery store, are nevertheless not quite food. (And I'm glad that you feel cheerful and not monstrously depressed, but that is still a heinous pantry shortfall!)
Final question, then: at what point is actual food projected to happen at your house?

How do I get into these things?

...Must look up what 'branules' are.
