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!

One of the very few things to go right for me this year was getting to know you better!
