Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 24, 2017

The Animals (but probably not Woodstock) had a song for that.

So who’s going to help Lucy van Pelt live that life? Her younger brother Linus perhaps?

The way you’re going, Lucy, you’re certain to be left alone to get on with it.

Yeah, I remember making that same stupid proclamation (minus the last panel). What a moron I was, along with most of my generation.

♪ Oh I get by with a little help from my friends ♪

For a nickel I’ll give you some help.

In other words, Lucy is a Libertarian.

“It’s my life, mother! And if I want to live naked on the beach, I will!” Janice, the Great Muppet Caper

Is she looking up toward heaven when she says that in the last panel?

If this world was replaced with dogs instead of humans… What a fantastic world it would be.

Kind of irrelevant to the strip but I’m just saying that dogs aren’t judgemental and don’t care who you are or how you live your life. They just “Let It Be”

Somebody must agree surely?

“…from My Friends”(Do you need anybody?)

I need somebody to love

(Could it be anybody?)

I want somebody to love

The problem is Lucy, no one want to share that life with you, because, well, you’re Lucy.

I’m glad we have similar opinions on Secret Santa, I was starting to think I was alone in what I thought. I’ve never even participated in it before so I guess I’m “knocking it before I’ve tried it” I know it’s nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about but it does feel strange me being the only one not doing Secret Santa. That’s why I bought the cards.

The Christmas Markets are wonderful. I went to the other one today. Oh, I do love those train rides. And the Market itself was great too but there were not many stalls. That will soon change, I never used to go out very much but ever since I started working I started going out different places and I regularly look on Facebook for any events happening. Facebook is where I found the Christmas Markets.

As you already know, I donated my 18th pint of blood on Tuesday. It went fantastically well as usual. Can’t wait to receive a text saying where my donation has gone. It was especially for Number Six. They had to move the needle around a bit because they ALWAYS have trouble finding my veins. It didn’t hurt but I felt the tight “pressure” of it. My next donation in March will be dedicated to…. Well, you’ll soon find out, Wink, Wink.

I’ve had the most amazing week off. We close the office on 22nd December and return on 2nd January. Although in my case with the 22nd being on Friday, I am already off work then so I finish for the Christmas break on the 21st instead.

I’m still relieved that I’m working next year. All that uncertainty has gone now.

Have a beautiful weekend!
