back to normal

Things have settled down after all the festivities.
Including our usual January weather inversion with cloud and temperature around freezing. Yuck, it does get tiresome.
Though there is a certain stability in getting back to normal. Richard and I decided to use our stay at the resort at end of February to spread things out. We have Stuart MacLean at beginning of February to cheer us up.

Went to hockey game last night and out for supper and are going skating this afternoon, even though would rather stay inside, but staying inside not good for physical and emotional well-being.

Nick seems to be better still! He ate cat food 3 days! Supplemented by roast beef and chicken, but still!

Have one final interview coming up this week and am then onto data analysis! I started a very little bit this weekend.

Work has been quieter than usual, which is nice. But suspect by end of month we'll be back to usual chaos. Have to appreciate quietness while it's happening.

Henry's wife Jenny's dad died this week. I think it would have been expected, but will be hard regardless.

Hmm not too much else going on.

We sure did appreciate everyone coming to celebrate mom's birthday, we had a great time and got bonus visiting time because of weather! We are lucky to have such a wonderful family. Because everyone traveled, we're picking up mom's supper bill. Don't argue.

Asking a Sivak not to argue is like asking a fish not to swim.

But: THANK YOU! That is the nicest thing!

I'm starting to write / analyze and I feel scared of doing it all the time. :( I guess the solution is to just work on it, regardless of how crappy the writing or how banal the observations seem and it'll get edited to okayness? :)

It is extremely kind of you guys. Thank you! I am glad things are back to normal, here too, including the cold (I am sad to say).
Allison, I think your plan is good, just write and then it will all come together.

I am pleased about Nick, though I still have to keep topping him up with meat!

Theresa, you should argue with Jim, he's always game.

You still have to read 419.

I did read 419, then forgot to pack it to return to you. We saw Stuart MacLean in Edmonton before Christmas. Sam came with us and said he enjoyed it.
