Awake.

Well, I managed 8 hours sleep last night. That's still not very much considering how little I got the last several nights, but at least things aren't getting worse. Now, time to start a busy busy day preparing for our Yule dinner party tomorrow.

Transparent Car factory in Dresden.

Here is a photo tour of a car factory in Dresden, unlike any I've ever seen before.

A day of stuff.

Its getting close to bedtime. Despite desperately not wanting to, I managed to make myself clean the upstairs bathroom, vacuum the upstairs hall and stairs, cook lunch, do the dishes, make green goddess dressing, and start hauling assorted crap out of the living room so we have room for a dinner in there.

That makes the list of things to do tomorrow tollerably managable. It would be easily managable if I hadn't slipped on the ice today while retrieving the recycling bin. I think I have a huge bruise on my right hip, and it hurts like the dickens to use that leg for much.

So, now I just need to relax, and get ready for bed. Thanks to wintersweet, I am going to go and play a nice and mindless tree-decorating game. A quick calculation shows there are only 720 possible games, but the site does show that there are other, far more complex versions of the same idea.
