( Today has not been great. )

Tomorrow I go Christmas shopping! I have a List and a Plan, and I have confidence that there will be less people out there than past Christmases because people have been clever and bought things online in advance. Oh yes. It will be so.

Other than that, nothing new has been happening. I figured out that headache thing I was complaining about a few posts ago. Yay!

Icelandic flatmate has decided she's staying in Finland after she finishes her Master, which is also not a bad thing. (I'd maaaaaybe be a little bit happier about it if she stopped leaving beetroot smudges all over the kitchen, but in the grand scheme of things, I really have no leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing other people's cleaning habits.) The apartment has dropped to the usual 16 C indoors, as it does every winter. Ah, student housing. It will go up a little in January, I think, once there's more people in the apartment again, but for right now it's... actually a little bit cozy. I have a legitimate reason to drink a lot of tea, and walk around wrapped in a blanket.

Finally, I want to make a Christmas voice post here - but the quality of my recording equipment is very, very bad and there's a weird background noise to it. I can't quite decide if it would be worth it to do it anyway. Is it worth it?

Yeah. Sort of embarrassed about this. Thought about maybe just not posting it, but hey. My journal, right? I can throw a childish fit if I want to. Just... approach with caution.
