Reflections to "I am a Town" Mary Chapin Carpenter...
It's another reflective day. I'm having to run a full computer scan with new virus software so suffice to say I can't really *do* anything on the computer right now. Instead I'm sitting here, listening to music and enjoying the suprising sunshine that is cascasing through my window. Much like my cats, I choose to bask, though perhaps not quite with their complete abandon.
Geroge and I are most likely going south for our birthdays (and coming back for Christmas). It's our hope that this is the last December Holiday trip for a while... My mum has only herslef to blame for that, sa if we have kids *she* is the one who instituted the edict that Grandparents travel to the grandkids when I was a little girl.
I'll get her up here for a winter holiday somehow.
I admit to being a tad homesick right now, but that often happens in fall. The holidays come closer and I feel it more, yet I can not wait to celebrate the myriad of days in our new house. We've already invested in some new decorations for th eall important Halloween ... my personal favorite.
We're also going to this huge Christmas chochkey store up north so that we can get some new things for our new house... something that suits the "us" that we are now. I'm quite looking forward to it!
Things have settled down a bit since George's Grandmother passed away. I think we're looking toward a rather quiet weekend, starting with, I hope, me taking my husband out to see a movie, and maybe dinner... depending on finances.
So, things in life are leveling out a bit. Our friend who has S4 Cancer got a decent PET scan back and may be off chemo for a bit so that they can do the last surgery. It's probably going to be a doozy, but dispite the periodic reality checks, I'm still hopeful that she'll be able to pull out of this.
Another friend was in a car accident on Tuesday and while I hate being too far away to rush over and check her out with my eyes, I'm planning on bullying her into a skyp conversation in a day or so. She's okay, the car did it's job, and at least she has me to commiserate with what it is like to have broken your foot (I did so in collage).
Anyway... that's all for today, but hey! I wrote!!!
