I guess it's about time

It's been over a month since my last post? Time flies.

December was a busy month. Frantically trying to close out my old job, unsucessfully I might add, because people don't seem to understand when you say "as of this date, I no longer support this application, and it won't be decided until sometime in Q1 who/if someone else will". These words must show up as white in all emails, because no one seems to see them. I have a feeling I'll be stuck with this the rest of my career here.

I have a job. I should be grateful.

And I am. I'm just ready to start my new one!! Not much happening yet on that front, though we are only back two days. I'm sure tomorrow, after our second team meeting, and now that the powers that be have made some decisions, everything will be moving at a frantic rate yet again.

Steve's Mom came to visit over Christmas. I was great to have her. I must say, this lady does not overstay her welcome! She arrives in the late afternoon of the 24th, and is on the road at sunrise the 26th. I would take this personally, but apparently she's always done this. I blame Steve ;)

I can't believe we didn't take one picture over Christmas! Too busy I guess! Very busy before the holidays with the baking, shopping and getting the house up to snuff, the 26th I tidied up, then read most of the day. My tummy has been unhappy with me since Christmas, my guess is I had a little too much fat along the way, and not enough rest. Thankfully, yesterday I realized it didn't hurt anymore! Yay!!

New Years was low key - my sister and hubby came over for a few hours. Steve is exhausted from all the OT he's been pulling (retail manager), and I was pooped too from (can't think of anything), so we were both snoozing in the new year by 10PM! Party animals!

I haven't seen Steve since, he's been prepping for inventory (tomorrow) and working from 6AM - 10PM every day. I miss him! Of course his car decided it was time to conk out, so he's been driving mine since Wed. I need groceries!! If the used cam shaft fixes the problem, we're facing an $800 bill. If not, well, I don't want to think about it. I keep telling myself that it's cheaper than leasing. Fingers crossed!

If it gets any brighter today I will spot paint the walls later. We have a few scuffs and dings (patched yesterday) collected over the last 17 months. I was hoping to have this done before we had our Christmas company, but there really wasn't time, nor did I have the energy.

Happy New Year!
