Ack. Another post already! I have nothing to say. It’s the new year, and I’m trepidacious, both personally and as a society. Time well tell. “Waiting brings fullness.” I read that book many times, wishing I could have Michael’s powers. Still kinda do, but I realize the awesome responsibility that accompanies them-now all I want is time to develop what I have, and the ability to do that (read ca$h). So tip the writer<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Saturday. Spent too much money-we’re in deep this month again-send us $$$, please and thank you.<\/p>\n

So. W\/o last night, sleep in, tidy, shop. Writing this on an iPad from work-so easy and elegant.
\nChristmas Eve-church, freezing rain, then snow! Nap, sort of, w\/o, fondue for dinner, walk outside with M, shower, laundry. We’re going to watch Alien: Covenant. It wasn’t bad.<\/p>\n

Christmas was…Christmas. At least S didn’t get up super early. So, opened presents-got Dune!, some other stuff. Lazed, napped, dinner, bed. Up today, work-started on the new project, setup, ready to go. Dishes, laundry, watch skiing, bed. Up, work, kids to dentist, more work. Laundry, dishes. Thurs.-work, dentist-not as good as the kids, but nice clean teeth! Fri., work, shop, w\/o w\/o M, dinner late, up late watching South Park. Up, lazy, tidy, laundry.<\/p>\n

Sunday-New Year’s Eve, church, M to libe, Fubonn, pickup M, shop, w\/o, dinner, watch New York ball drop. Quiet New Year’s Day-had to go out suddenly at 8 PM to get snow boots for S. Back to work today-forgot to do something over the break…and it’s fragile, and slow. Friday-started early, which means leaving early, which means home early. M is sick, E is sick, I hope I don\u2019t get sick. Dreamed about making out with Linda F.<\/p>\n

And it’s Monday. Pretty quiet weekend, skipped w\/o Friday, lazy Sat., church Sun., libe, shop, lazy, worked out solo, bed, up, work. home, dinner, watch skiing, bed. Schiffrin is on another level.<\/p>\n
