We are back in flyover land, and I'm in a pretty good mood, because:
a. The holidays are over. I'm not really a big fan of the Christmas/New Year thing. Staying in someone else's place is always kinda stressful, and then there's the expectation level for gifts and spending the right amount of time with the right people, and running around to try to see a lot of folks, and if there is a slight kink somewheres in the schedule, then it ripples right through the entire vacation, just like snowstorms in Denver ripple through world aviation.
b. My cold, which has been REALLY dragging me down through this flurry of visiting, is subsiding. I probably blow my nose only every 10 minutes instead of every 10 seconds.
c. I'm home!!!!
d. It's warm (relatively speaking) and the sun is coming out, and that makes me cheerful.
e. I am as always filled with great expectations for the new year. We are calling Aught-Seven "the year of transition" - new place to live, new jobs, completion of our degrees.
f. Our lease extension is signed in MA, and there is relative stability in real estate at least until the end of February, and probably beyond.
Hm. All the clever ideas I had in the shower for blogging have evaporated. More tomorrow.
