I am sure you are more than passing. Have a wonderful trip.

Happy Hanukkah and Thanksgiving everyone!!

Ah Snap, they are only rough times if you allow them to be. I got through the emotional rough part pretty quickly overall with the help of some wonderful friends, old and new. Life is actually really great these days. I haven't felt this alive in a long time. I'm getting the chance to explore and do a lot of the things that I moved out here for now. I've met some really fantastic people over the last few months that have allowed me to see how wonderful life really is and can continue to be. And being single is actually really liberating in many ways. I haven't done the single thing in a long time but there are many advantages to it. Like I have $$ left over at the end of the paycheck. Who knew?

Chick is probably up there in AK playing in the snow with her pup. Those two are crazy cute together.

How has the old gang been? I've missed you ladies. I'm back on the bike. And bought another trainer off of CL. The road bike is now ready to crank as I watch tv. I have to use up those old tires somehow. Lol.

Unexpected benefit of cycling: reassembling the bike out of its shipping case is an unobtrusive way of showing the HVAC guys that I know my way around a toolbox.

Not that I expect these guys to cut any corners, this is the second major job they've done for us besides several visits for routine maintenance, and I trust them. But it just feels good to show that "woman home alone" does not mean "idiot."

Love that, Oak!

Hahaha Oak! Yes! Someday there will be no doubts or sideways glances when we do something like that. It will just be business as usual because we will achieve absolute equality in the world.

I am so loving my Lindsey Stirling CD. Wow that young woman can play. Beautiful music that makes my day better.

Christmas party season: I guess it's a sign of adulthood when you can get seated next to someone you've had a bad falling out with, and haven't spoken to in three years, and pull off sitting there for over two hours without mudslinging, recriminations or resorting to banalities.

*sigh* Growing older has its perks. But it's still hard work.
