It seems with all the festivities, moving, etc., it’s suddenly almost Christmastime. We’re just beginning to think about Christmas lists. Isn’t that terrible? I mean, some people have been knitting things for ages in preparation for the holiday, but here we are .. just beginning.
Still, I think if we can put a wedding together within 3 weeks, essentially, we should be able to figure out what the heck we are doing for Christmas. 😀
In other news, last week, for about a week, our golden retriever was ill. I have a feeling she hoovered up some spices that had been inadvertently dumped on the floor. She had a terrible “something is torturing me inside” look on her face, and we became abundantly attentive and worried about her. But nearly a week later, she’s right as rain and tromping about like a mad puppy. No vet required. Thank God.
The mini schnauzer h
as been treated to a doggy make-over, where she’s been properly turned into a schnauzer again. For awhile, it appeared she was a sort of terrier instead. Poor thing. She huddles more in a nest of blankets for warmth and hesitates going outside, because “It’s cold out there” (yes, she does speak).
Little Miss What’s-Her-Name (who is almost as tall as me now, worryingly) has her first band concert next week. Yes, the euphonium is loud, but she seems to love it and is dedicated to getting her practice pieces right. (Note to self: pack Kleenex)
Otherwise, we’ve just been getting through the week, frequently entertained, I think by describing the complexity of aircard technology, various programming things too complex (especially to me) to mention, on-the-fly training sessions and intermittent drinkings of wine in contemplation of who the heck is going to unpack all the boxes (nearly there. Really!)
Happy Shopping.
