I’ve enjoyed most of my week off. I was able to get some much needed rest, but I can’t say that I got nearly as much done as I was hoping to. (That sure sounds awfully familiar.) I did, however, get the stuff done that needed to be done, well, the important stuff, and I even got some reading ahead done for class this week.

I spent most of the week busy dealing with work that kept popping up, but nothing really exciting. I got some service done on my truck and got the house cleaned up a bit. I put up the Christmas lights (with a little bit of help from Matthew) the other day. I really think that whoever invented those things, especially of the icicle variety, needs to be shot. Chad said there are some new LED varieties available, maybe they are a lot less work (in addition to costing a lot less to actually run).

We did Thanksgiving here at the house; Susan’s mom and brother came over, and Charlie brought a friend as well. The usual turkey dinner, and more importantly the desserts. I just finished the pumpkin pie today. There is about one serving left of carmel cake and then I guess it is on to the apple pie.

Mom is out of the hospital. …

I had lunch with Alana, Alison, Tim and Mandy on Friday. It was good to see them, but wasn’t old times, and we didn’t even go to Oscars!

I really don’t want to go back to school tomorrow, but I am looking forward to Fudds!
