November & December, 2022
NOVEMBER
Things at Home: 3 humans, 4 cats, all is well. After the excitement of October, November was delightfully dull. We went to Little Brother’s house for Thanksgiving, which was lovely (he’s a really good cook!)

DECEMBER
Things at Home: 3 humans, 4 cats. The boys (Little Brother and Brother-in-Law) were both here for a few days over Christmas, and for Dad’s birthday. I like when they visit, but I also like when they leave ;) The holiday was mostly quiet. I had the whole week off before Christmas (everyone else wanted the week after) which I spent having a head cold :( Not Covid, thankfully, and not even very bad, but I mostly just sat around doing nothing. But I was better by Christmas Eve. All good.
Things at Work: I wasn’t there for most of it, lol. I had to use up my days off, so I was out as much of December as I was at work. Everyone else wanted the week after Christmas off, but I don’t mind working it - it’s quiet and you can catch up on stuff.
