here comes the merry

 when i was out for a walk i saw a sign from the nearby coffee shop, a starbucks. how it got across the road, i don't know. but it said 'here comes the merry', and it was advertising the holiday drinks and snacks available. one of those was a sugarplum cheese danish. reminds me of the christmas story where there is mention of sugarplums dancing in their heads, 'the night before' as i recall. i have a loyalty account with caribou, wondering what they might have for the season. during the walk i found 1 dollar, mostly in quarters. the 'big bang theory' reruns were both when we see arguing. first it was sheldon being scared off by it. leonard and penny argue about penny's friend visiting, then it was raj's parents with raj, then howard and his mom. it led to sheldon getting a comic book and robot. i will admit that i laughed at the arguing, even though arguing usually isn't funny to me. it was followed by the one where amy moves in with sheldon, a pipe burst at her building. then sheldon and amy argue, leading to them being turned on. i laughed when penny said 'damn!' when the two were matching wits, including mention of null bona fides. at work there was a conference call that didn't involve my boss, who was on vacation. a colleague called me about an email he was copied on, the customer service boss had questions about getting equipment back from a former employee. it led to us figuring out that what was already sent was enough, a box for the laptop, as something found online said company-owned monitors do not have to be returned.
