Went & stocked up on produce at Atkins, was going to go to Table & Vine for festive alcohol after, observed traffic patterns, thought better of it. Will just get that stuff from the Big Y in town tomorrow, need a few other things from there anyway.

Funny sort of festive mood, overworked, underpaid (received insultingly meager xmas bonus earlier), overtired, worry & despair slipping into a cheerful alert hostility, a readiness for conflict, amusement, kindness, cruelty, whatever the world offers or seems to want of me, pretty much.

One might, were one a pipe smoker, put that in one's pipe & smoke it.
