Yesterday at work there was a goodbye party for a coworker who’s moving to Japan. She said she will miss french fries, so the party featured $50 worth of fries with various toppings people brought in. Some of the leftovers were in the lunch room this morning. I question the maple syrup. And I don’t know what’s in the jar.
I went upstairs this morning to chat with a coworker, and when I came back downstairs, I had acquired a bag of dog hair (not pictured), and an octopus. Now…what to name him?
Doing our part to make sure it doesn’t snow too much.
Our salt and pepper shakers are very cute; I think they were a gift from Ali and Chris. There is a matching pepper shaker, but this was just sitting on the table by itself.
Just in case anybody at work is overcome by the Christmas spirit and needs to dress up as an elf. I have not been moved to do so.

Went to a kind-of-new tapas place for dinner tonight. The atmosphere was unremarkable (much like this somewhat blurry photo), but the food was delicious. But the best part was the company–we got together with Emmeline, who we haven’t seen in too long. I’m glad we’ve kept in touch.

April was a homeless woman who hung out by Charles Street station. I’d see her when I had appointments at MGH and we’d chat. Sometimes I’d buy her stuff she needed at the nearby CVS, but I think sometimes she’d return them for the cash. Apparently she died of an overdose over the weekend, which made me both sad and angry.
