Made it through Christmas with the standard sort of anxiety. Well, a little extra anxiety from spinning the car a couple of times on I81 in PA on our way to CT. But we had some delicious food, though, and some of the presents I gave were big hits so I'm satisfied.
Yesterday, since we still had the car, we took the dog to a nearby state park and had a nice long walk in the woods and on a bit of beach. I'm not sure if he's ever been to a beach before but he seemed quite interested in the waves (small bay waves). He slept very well all evening and night after using his nose so much. I was happy we were able to take him out because he didn't really get walked at all while we were in CT. It was too snowy and icy for him and for me.
I'm very close to the end of the academy award winners. Won't be done by January first but I didn't try that hard to meet that goal anyway.
This is a two day week and I'm glad because I just feel tired and need some time off.
