Hollydaze

This last couple weeks has been a tumultous blur, not all of it bad mind you, but super full and crazy and not just with holiday goings-on.

I don't think I could even remember every detail now, much less type it all up but the rundown is this:

• CadetJosh babyirishcub  is still struggling to keep a roof over his head, food in his belly and his car operable so he can get to work.  Some progress has been made, and there is help offered that I am just waiting until the timing is right to implement.  Thank you so much to those who have offered and given help so far, even moral support.

• Mom is much better, she came home Wed nite and I cooked a pre-emptive Christmas Dinner (on Yule, how ironic) for the immediate family, while she supervised.  So now I know how to make her awesome cornbread dressing, mmm!  Luckily the house had already been decorated (much earlier than normal, she must have had an inkling) so it was still a festive -- if somewhat subdued -- event.  Now if she can just get over the cold she picked up in the hospital, she'd be well on her way to recovery.  She has to watch her diet a lot because of the meds she is on for 6 months.  Many thanks again to those who have asked about her and kept me from going off the deep end that first couple of scary days.  *muaaaah*

• Contender Cub gifted me with a groovy new (for me) larger TV so now we won't all have to squint quite so much on movie nights here. Thanks, Piper!

• Had some fun social times (movies, gaming, dining, etc) with Magister Rob monarchprime  and the Bear Bunch, and look forward to tomorrow's brunch and movie day for Christmas!  Yay!

• Had my annual lunch and gift exchange with Danger Woman and kept my sanity (or was simply too crazy to notice any difference).

• Attended my first school clinic supervisor meeting which went fine, and am set to start next Friday.

• With the sad exception of the Silver Grill closing last Friday, things seem to be leveling out on the suckitude factor, which is a godsend.  This year can go douche with draino as far as I'm concerned.  Here's to 2007!

God blog us, every one!
