Bunny is doing Christmas Day with her kids tomorrow, because on the 25th, she's taking the kids to their grandparents.
So I have Christmas breakfast with Bunny and her kids.
After that, the day stretches before me.
It's my birthday.
I can do anything I please.
ANYTHING.
I might go to a costume shop and try stuff on. I might rent a pair of wings and a sari and wear them the rest of the day.
I might stay at Bunny's and drink tea and sit in the sun on the porch and have a nice long chat with Bunny.
I might go browse a few used book stores.
I might go play with the cockatiels at the pet shop.
I might go home and make tacky craft projects.
I might go blow bubbles in the park.
I might go home and soak in the tub for a few hours, with a couple good magazines and a glass of wine.
I might clean my whole apartment, then sit and bask in the glow. (Yes, that is fun for me. Shut up.)
I might plant more bulbs in my windowbox.
I might watch George of the Jungle and then decide that I can't live without the song Dela (I know why the dog howls at the moon) by Johny Clegg & Savuka and go buy the cd. Or I might decide that I don't want to chance the crowds shopping and just rewind and replay the scene where it plays, over and over. This is, sadly, much more likely.
I might drive up into the moutains to Julian and buy myself a slice of fresh pie from the apple growers up there.
I might dance around my apartment in my underwear.
I might walk down to Main Street and buy myself an ice cream shake and browse the shops. 'Especially that one that sells belly dance stuff.
I might drive to Mexico and wander the open air markets and buy a small, brightly painted ceramic animal.
I might do all of these things.
Or none.
A whole day to myself.
*hugs arms to self and twirls*
Merry This.

I'm concerned that none of these options include other people, except farmers.
