COLD DARK ROOM

Now that Christmas is around the corner, I propose a Healthy Lifestyle Challenge for all roommates.
Let’s start with some holiday exercises. One, two, three, and repeat:

My significant other has been in a most unpleasant work environment for the last several months. It's been a hostile work environment, and he needs to get out of it.

Fortunately, he graduated earlier this month with a four-year degree, which should expand his employment options. (He isn't any smarter than he was before he got the degree, but that little piece of paper -- wallpaper, I call it -- makes such a huge difference in what he qualifies for.)

He has an interview today for a position, in the right field, with the right entity, and at the right level. Everybody think good thoughts, and prayers most appreciated. I think I'm far more nervous than he is!

There shouldn't be hurt feelings, Yvonne. We're grown-ups -- more or less!

Roommates, a very important info message:

There may, or may not, be TORTOISE gift-opening tomorrow. Stay tuned.​

(Clarity is my strong suit in writing and, um, making announcements, maybe.)

Heather and Carol are yet to receive their packages. If nothing changes last minute, we're inclined to postpone the date.

Hi guys and girls.
I'm up in Georgia again.
Tomorrow I'm spending the day with mom for her birthday.
This afternoon she got a "perm" in her hair for her day or two out on the town. I'll be here until Friday early a.m.
Hopefully I can strategically take here out to dinner....And shopping...and back several times with no emergencies or mishaps.
Wish me luck.
Right now I'm in the motel room. It's very cool here. But just short if cold. About 50.
I've got some chicken wings and a remote control. So all the boxes are checked.
It's still odd any time I'm away from Kelly and little Suki.

My house is still a mess!!

Good mornooning all.

Tomorrow's meeting has been postponed until January. Yippee! I am have my final governor meeting of the year to ight, so must continue with papaerwork today.

Ady 19 from my iTunes Christmas playlist is Gaudete. This version is by Steeleye Span. It is a very old Christmas song which has been traced back to the 1500s, but they think it could be older. I used to sing this when I was in my school's Senior Choir.
