Snow!

Not a lot of it, but I came out of a meeting yesterday, and little flakes were floating past the window! Not that I should be that surprise I guess, because it has been coldy coldy here all week.

Sorry I didn't post an update all week, I gave myself permission not to carry my lap top home all week, but also would not allow myself to blog during the hours that I was at the office, so it was a conundrum!

Last week was a low energy week, that's for sure. Saturday we had big rain, and I was surprised when I went out to do some errands that although it was pouring it was 76 degrees, very odd. I got some stuff done in spite of the rain, and Bert and I went to friends Saturday night to celebrate my friend Jorge's birthday. We stayed out until midnight, I was amazed. Jorge left Sunday for the conference in Seattle that we have always gone to each year, it felt funny that I was not going too. The conference I use as an excuse to conveniently be in Seattle the week before Thanksgiving....darn!

But the next morning, the temperature had already dropped 20 degrees from the day before, and the wind was really blowing, not very nice at all. So between it being icky, and low get-up-and-go, I slept almost all day. Bert did a couple errands, and was nice enough to just leave me on the sofa. Monday went to the doctors and tried to get rid of the #$%#^^&@ drain, but no such luck. It is still with me, and no sign of relief. Tuesday I got up, got ready for work, but wore myself out having breakfast (now you know that is bad) so had to take a nap! The fact that it was 34 outside didn't make me move any faster. Did finally make it to the office about 11, and then the rest of the week I was able to work a full schedule, and even went to the movies with friends Trish and Jen. Feel pretty good this morning.
Bert was up and out early today (at 27 degrees!) to go to the International Fly tying show in New Jersey (he didn't even ask if I wanted to go along!) so I am getting a few things done, and then our friends Heather and Bethany are arriving from Seattle, and going to take me out to dinner.
We put our final details in place for our Thanksgiving this week. I think it will be nice, but I can't help thinking that at some point it may hit home that we won't be seeing all of you this week. I will take pictures of our trip for my next post. Hope everyone has cozy plans of their own!
