Good Things Friday (148) and Link Love
December 24, 2021
1. I see that almost everyone is back on the holiday card wagon this year. I enjoyed seeing so many updates. Maybe we’ll do one in the new year. Maybe!
2. Happy to have run across this quote: “You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”
-Anne Lamott
Challenges this week: Family Time is complicated. I appreciate my people and also have so little extra energy.
Sweden’s giant straw yule goat is like catnip for arsonists ā and it’s been burned again. I don’t get it, why can’t people lay off the goat??
America Is Not Ready for Omicron. I’m so tired of this pandemic.
If you somehow missed this Jean/Jorts saga it’s a good read. Make sure you read the Update, it made me wheeze with laughter.

This cat coat color tweetorial made me happy. So many cat pictures!
I wish I had a dad who felt about me the way Scalzi does about Athena. I wish everyone did.
I had completely missed the Jean and Jorts saga and was crying-laughing reading the update especially and then Jorts’ twitter, so thank you for that. Hope the family time is going as peacefully as possible.
It makes me really happy that I was able to deliver Jean and Jorts to you š
