Happy Holidays
and Merry Christmas, which I still celebrate, godless heathen though I am. :D Belief in our common humanity and good will to all is something worthy to strive for, regardless of the source of the feeling.
I hope you all are well, and have the opportunity to be with family and loved ones (not necessarily always the same group, are they?). I am fortunate to have met you all, and though I don't post much any more, I am here every day to see what's up in your lives.
Finished buying and wrapping the last of the presents today, and lots of goodies, after an early-morning swim (last one until Thursday now), and was home just after noon to hunker down and start the cooking process.
Replete with turkey, we have listened to Alan Maitland reading "The Shepherd", an annual tradition. I've watched "How to Train Your Dragon" at last, and now the fireplace channel is crackling away merrily. It will be nice to not get up at between 5 and 7 in the morning for a couple of days.
Submitted 79 pages of the yearbook today. You know what they say: "If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done." Sigh. Every year we say we'll be more organized. Uh huh. Sure. Now, with online access to our files, I can let it go later than ever! Still, nearly half done. One of the ladies I swim with was actually a grad of my school back in '98, which was the first year I helped with the yearbook, and she says she still likes to take it out and look it over from time to time. Interesting how things connect and come around.
Off to sugarplum dreamland now. Good night/morning all, as your timezone would have it.
